To access a mobile application from a mobile device, make sure that the software is installed exclusively from the official application store (Google Play, AppStore).

- Keep your login details (login and password) secret and your mobile phone (SIM card with your mobile phone number) secure at all times.
When using authorisation data, we recommend:
- storing your login and password separately, or even better memorising them;
- checking your bank server security certificate before changing your password.
- The password must be unique (different from other passwords used in different accounts (such as a mailbox) or other banking systems, with only Latin letters, numbers and valid characters: ! @ # $% * () _ - + = |. All other characters, white spaces, and non-Latin characters are invalid. The login and password should not contain words or names associated with the user (name, surname, spouse, children, etc.), repeated character sequences (such as "access"), obvious sequences, and patterns created by characters typed on keyboard keys (such as qwert or zxcvb). The password must be at least 6 characters in length and complex, containing both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
