Security
How secure is online trading?
Online trading is safe and secure. Nevertheless, we recommend the following practices for additional account protection:
- Do not share your Login ID, Password and Trading PIN with anyone or response to any unverified request.
- Always use latest operating system and internet browsers that support TLS.2. All browsers and application software should be upgraded to support SSL 128-bit encryption. The Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that provides security and privacy to conduct transactions over the Internet. The SSL protocol protects HTTP transmissions by adding a layer of encryption. This ensures that all transactions are not subjected to eavesdropping, tampering or message forgery by a third party.
- Always check that our website address appears with https:// and a security icon in the form of lock or key appears when authentication and encryption is expected.
- Use the website address (URL) or use bookmark to enter the online trading website, and avoid accessing the website through hyperlink embedded in e-mail, internet search engine and suspicious pop-up windows
- If you suspect any unauthorized use of your Login Password and or Trading PIN, please notify us and change your Login Password and Trading PIN immediately. In addition, you should also periodically change your Login Password and Trading PIN.
