• Second factor authentication in the form of NETSECURE code for carrying out all financial transactions.
• Corporates also have the option to apply for an Initiator and Approver facility for all financial transactions.

If you suspect that there has been an unauthorised transaction in your account, please report it to the Bank immediately by mailing to corporate.ib@axisbank.com or calling on 022-6217 5100. You may also contact your Branch or Relationship Manager.

To protect your account from fraud please take care of the following:

• Keep your passwords secret and change them often – Do not share your passwords or NETSECURE codes with anyone. Change your passwords often. Changing passwords often helps in protecting your account even if inadvertently you may have disclosed it to someone. You can change your login and transaction password from My Profile section after logging in.
• Make your password difficult to crack – Axis Bank has created protocols for setting passwords to keep your passwords safe. In addition, when you create your password, do not make it similar to your user ID or any other information that is easily available. This will ensure that the passwords are very difficult to crack.
• Avoid using cyber cafes to access your internet banking accounts - PCs at cyber cafes may be infested with viruses and Trojans that can capture and transmit your personal data to fraudsters. The easiest way to grab information is key logging software, which records all the keystrokes you typed, to be retrieved later for fraudulent usage. Beware of typing passwords on unknown PCs.

  In case you have used a cyber cafe for accessing your account, ensure to do the following:

  • Always use the virtual keypad to type in your password.
  • Don't leave the computer unattended after logging into Axis Corporate Internet Banking.
  • Always log out of Axis Corporate Internet Banking by clicking "logout" on the website.
  • After logging out, close all the windows and clear the cache of the browser.

• Keep your computer secure - Some phishing emails or other spam may contain software that can record information on your Internet activities (spyware) or open a 'backdoor' to allow hackers access to your computer (Trojans).

  Installing anti-virus software and keeping it up to date will help detect and disable malicious software, while using anti-spam software will stop phishing emails from reaching you. It is also important, particularly for users with a broadband connection, to install a firewall. This will help keep the information on your computer secure while blocking communication from unwanted sources.

  Make sure you keep up- to-date and download the latest security patches for your browser. If you don't have any patches installed, visit your browser's website, for example users of Internet Explorer should go to the Microsoft website.

• Check the website you are visiting is secure - if the address bar is visible, the URL should start with 'https://' ('s' for secured) rather than the usual 'http://'. If the address bar is not visible as in our Internet Banking website, look for a lock icon on the browser's status bar.

• Validate the SSL Certificate - If you are in any doubt, click on the lock icon at the bottom of the secured page. This opens up a new window, displaying the SSL certificate information. Ensure that there is no Red Cross mark preceding the title 'Certificate Information'.

• To ensure that you remain protected at all times

  • Never let anyone know your PINs or passwords
  • Do not write them down
  • Do not use the same password for all your online accounts
  • Avoid opening or replying to spam emails, as this will give sender the confirmation that they have reached a live address.

• Never respond to emails that request personal information - At Axis Bank, we would never ask for your personal details through an email, nor would we ask for your password through any means, phone, fax or in-persons. If any of our bank personnel asks you for your password, do not disclose it and report him or her immediately to us. If you do not recognize an amount charged to you, please report the same in writing to Axis Bank immediately.

• In case you suspect an email claiming to be from Axis Bank is fraudulent, please report it to the Bank immediately at corporate.ib@axisbank.com

• Note that the fact that the website is using encryption doesn't necessarily mean that the website is legitimate. It only tells you that the data is being sent in encrypted form.
