Day 7 of Holiday Privacy: Monitor Your Bank Transactions

Sometimes, risks with holiday shopping are too worth it not to take. If you do come across the deal of a lifetime from a less than trustworthy website, mitigate any dangers that may follow it by regularly monitoring your bank transactions.

By catching them early, you can end them in their tracks before more damage is done. Setting up online banking can allow you to check activity from anywhere and monitor your bank transactions.

Staying on top of your financial transactions is a great way to protect yourself at all times.
