Do not become a victim of Phishing attacks.

Do not become a victim of Phishing attacks. Phishing uses e-mails and websites, purporting to be legitimate banks, to request recipients to update their login and account information.

We suggest that you use this short checklist to protect yourself against phishing attacks.

·         Begin your session by manually typing the web address of BPI into your browser. The official URL of BPI Europe is www.bpieuropeplc.com.

·         Avoid disclosing personal or account details via email, SMS or embedded link. Be skeptical of unsolicited e-mails or SMS messages, especially those that concern personal / account information. Delete suspicious e-mails or e-mail attachments without opening them, even if they seem to have originated from someone you know.

·         Notify the sending company if you receive a suspicious e-mail. Contact us directly through 0207 835 0088 e-mail us at bpinoy@bpieuropeplc.com.

·         Check the security certificate of the web page. Before entering personal or account information into a site, make sure it is secure. In Internet Explorer, you can do this by checking the yellow lock on the status bar. A closed lock is an indication of an encrypted site.

·         If you think you may have responded to a suspicious e-mail, change your password as soon as possible.
