Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year — and unfortunately, one of the biggest days for scammers too. As you hunt for the best deals, please take a moment to protect yourself and your financial information.

Here are a few quick safety tips to keep in mind:

Shop with trusted retailers.

Stick to websites and stores you know. If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Never share personal or banking information through email, text, or social media.

We will never ask for your PIN, online banking password, or one-time codes.

Use secure payment methods.

Avoid clicking unknown links or entering card details on pop-up pages or unfamiliar sites.

Keep tabs on your account.

Check you Bank of Dade app regularly to get real time account and transaction information.

Report anything unusual right away.
