What else can be done to stay safe online?
Banking safely online: Make sure your computer has up-to date anti-virus software and a firewall installed. Consider using anti-spyware software. Download the latest security updates, known as patches, for your browser and for your operating system. Before you transact online ensure that the locked padlock or unbroken key symbol is showing in your browser. Be wary of unsolicited emails, known as phishing emails, requesting personal financial information. American Express would never contact you to ask you to disclose your PIN. Ensure your browser is set to the highest level of security notification and monitoring. The safety options are not always activated by default when you install your computer.
