Bank and savings bank applications to manage your accounts from your mobile

If only a few years ago we had been told that we could check our bank account from a simple mobile phone, surely we would not have believed. But today it is already possible. All major banks and savings banks have their own application.

Most of them offer their clients the possibility to carry out the most common operations. However, there are other banks that have less common but very useful functions, such as being able to withdraw money at any ATM without using a card, which can save your life if that day you left your wallet at home.

As you can see, all are advantages. But you have to be careful. Before downloading the app from your bank, you need to make sure you're downloading it from an official site Just a few weeks ago, an app was leaked on the Google Play Store fake Bankia that tried to steal customers' personal data.

That's why we wanted to compile this list with the applications of the main banks that operate in our country The links we provide here are completely safe and official and correspond to the two versions of each application: one for iOS and one for Android.

To use online banking safely

Whether you are going to connect to your bank through the web, or if you plan to do it regularly through your mobile phone, you should keep these tips in mind:

• First of all, and as we have indicated, you will need to be very careful and download the official application of the bank in question Make sure to verify who the developer of the application is and if you are not very clear (it would not be the first time that a fraudulent app sneaks into an app store). Go to the links that we have provided or, in any case, do it from the official website of the bank or savings bank in question.
• Do not access your accounts from a public WiFi network. Always connect from a private network and connect from a secure device. Take care of the latter, especially when accessing from the web.
• Avoid downloading applications and files from dubious sources, which can introduce viruses to your device.
• Do not store confidential data on your mobile. Forget to store access passwords Keep in mind that if your phone is lost or stolen, someone could gain access to your accounts, including those of your bank, of course.
• Always follow safety protocols. Find out what system your bank uses, make sure you enter the required passwords and follow the usual procedures. If they don't ask you for the keys or you see something strange, be wary. You may not be using the official app.
• Change your passwords regularly, to make sure that nobody can access the application in any case.
• Finally, make sure you install a good antivirus solution that can keep you protected from any threat. You have interesting options at your fingertips. Remember that there is a significant percentage of viruses targeting Android and you should stay safe.
