Helping to reduce the risk of fraud, scams and cyber crime
At NAB, we’re taking steps to reduce the risks to your account from fraud, scams and cyber crime. We monitor personal accounts for signs of unusual activity and help warn you of the potential red flags of scams through payment alerts in the NAB app and NAB Internet Banking. We provide a secure banking app with features that help you bank safely, as well providing 24/7 fraud support, helpful tips and guidance for staying safe online.
NAB Payment Alerts helps you spot red flags
If our fraud system detects a payment potentially related to an investment, goods and service, invoice, or romance scam in the NAB app or NAB Internet Banking a NAB Payment Alert may pop up. This will prompt you in real time to review the transaction to help you identify potential scams before proceeding with the payment. Find out more about how payment alert technology targets invoice scams, opens in new window on NAB News.
