Check out all the details about Internet Banking

BankWAW takes your online security extremely seriously given that the Internet is a vast, largely unregulated, network of computers that spans the world. There are no laws that embrace the Internet in its entirety and therefore the protection of your personal information and online transactions is very important. We have adopted a range of security practices designed to safeguard your information from unauthorised access. Equally, online security requires your informed and alert participation. There are also a number of things you should do to minimise the risk of fraud.

We have placed the utmost importance in ensuring that your personal details, funds and account information remain secure from unauthorised access. BankWAW employs banking industry standard 128-bit encryption of confidential data sent to and from this site to ensure that no information can be intercepted and read by others. Encryption scrambles the data that is sent on the line to stop people who may try to tap into or hack into Internet communications. The closed padlock on the bottom of the Internet Banking browser page indicates that the Internet Banking site is secure.

Tip: To check that you are using a secure web address, look at the root of the web address following the letters "http://". In a secure site you will see "https:/". The letter "s" signifies that you are accessing a secured address. Unsecured addresses do not include a "s" in the root address; they start with "http://".

In addition, our system has various security features to safeguard your transactions and personal information. These include:

• secure login pages - your access information is encrypted (scrambled)

• customer chosen passwords - you can change your password at any time

• customer chosen login name.

• password anonymity - you are the only person that knows your password.

• the Internet Banking login page is unable to be cached - this means that your personal login information is erased when you leave the login page and cannot be retrieved by anyone else using your computer.

• system lock after 3 attempts - if a user enters a password incorrectly 3 times, Internet Banking will be locked and the account blocked. The system can be unlocked and your password reset when the credit union is contacted and the person is identified as the account owner.

• timeouts for session inactivity - your Internet Banking session will time out after 15 minutes if there is no activity with your banking session.

We have employed a range of security measures to help protect your personal information and transactions. These measures extend from data encryption to firewalls to automatic timeouts. Therefore, when you do your banking online with us, you can be assured that your banking is safeguarded and protected.

What can I do to minimise the risk of online fraud?

There are two things you should do:
1. Become familiar with the types of online fraud you may experience
2. Adopt responsible practices in relation to the protection of your own personal information.

If you receive a suspicious email purporting to come from a financial institution:

• Contact the financial institution to verify the email

• Delete the email immediately and do not click on the link

• If you have clicked on the link in the email:

  • Perform a scan for possible viruses and Trojans using your virus protection software. Should you require further information, please contact your software vendor.

  • After you have completed a scan on your computer, please contact your financial institution to report the occurrence and have your Internet Banking password re-set.

  • If you do not have anti-virus protection, we recommend that you do not use Internet Banking until you have up-to-date anti-virus protection.

Your customer number (or user created login name) and password identify you to Internet Banking. You must protect them at all times.

If you think that someone has accessed your customer number (or user created login name) and/or password you should:

• login to Internet Banking and immediately change your password

• contact us to advise us of what has occurred by calling 02 6022 8444 or 1300 368 555 or by emailing info@bankwaw.com.au or by writing to us at P.O. Box 568, Wodonga Victoria 3690.

OSKO by BPAY lets you transfer money in seconds and even make instant payments to other banks 24/7 including weekends and public holidays. Combine OSKO with PayID, and you can send and receive money instantly using just an email address and phone number – rather than trying to remember your full account details each time. You can make an Osko payment using a PayID through Internet Banking and the BankWAW Mobile App. All our accounts transaction accounts are PayID and Osko ready.

The NPP is the new payments infrastructure that enables faster and more flexible payments, allowing payments to occur in real-time. The New Payments Platform uses world leading technology certified to the highest of high data security standards and monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

BankWAW has always made it possible for our customers to transfer funds between WAW accounts instantly, and now Osko by BPAY will allow for near real time payments between financial institutions 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So, instead of waiting a couple of days for a payment to come through from another financial institution, Osko by BPAY will make the transfer possible within a matter of seconds.

Remembering your account details isn’t easy.
When it comes to remembering bank account details, like your BSB and account number, most people simply can’t. With all the numbers and passwords in our lives, these numbers are all too easily forgotten.

That’s where a PayID can help
PayID is Australia’s new service that makes sending and receiving payments easier.

Your PayID can be something you already know, that’s easy to remember — like your mobile phone number or even your email address.

You can simply register a PayID within BankWAW’s Internet Banking and then we’ll link it to your BankWAW account of your choice. Then when someone needs to pay you, you just give them your PayID.
Simple as.

What’s better about PayID?
PayID is designed to make life just that little bit simpler and will work seamlessly with the new Osko by BPAY service. BankWAW customers can now make and receive payments faster than ever before, anytime, anywhere via online and mobile banking.

Pay the right person
When you use a PayID with a service like Osko, the name of the person who owns that PayID is shown immediately before you approve the payment. Then all you have to do is simply confirm it’s the right person.

Keeping your details private
PayID means you don’t have to share your BSB and account number, so you can keep them private.

How does PayID work?
You can register, your PayID as something you’ll easily remember, like your mobile number.

Once registered, when someone wants to pay you, or you want to pay someone else, forget exchanging BSB and account numbers – share your PayID instead.

To pay someone using their PayID you simply log-in to WAW's Internet Banking service. There you’ll be given the option to enter a PayID. The system will automatically show you who the PayID is registered to, so you can check before you confirm the payment.

It’s really that simple!
 
If you require any further information about PayID, Osko or the New Payments Platform (NPP) we would be pleased to help. You can contact your nearest Customer Service Centre or call our WAW Contact Centre on 1300 368 555. 

Consider terms and conditions from BankWAW before using Osko and PayID.

You can view all the interest rates for Transaction Accounts and Savings Accounts available on the Interest Rates page 

When an account is an ‘at call’ account, you can withdraw money as soon as it has been deposited. Cheques are an exception, these are held until cleared.

No. Do not click the link and delete the message. We will never send you a link asking for banking information or a link to log in to internet banking.

BankWAW employs software to monitor your account 24/7. Payments sent at any time of day or night may be held for review until one of our friendly staff can confirm them with you.

You can lock your BankWAW Visa debit card by using the toggle button in the Cards section on our App. We don’t currently offer a button to lock your account, however, in an emergency, attempting to sign into your account four times using an incorrect password will block access to it.

Call our Contact Centre on 1300 368 555 or +61 2 6022 8444 from overseas, email fraud@bankwaw.com.au, or visit your nearest service centre immediately. We may be able to stop a transfer, trace your money, or help you get your money back.

When we call you, we will ask a series of security questions to identify you and clearly tell you why we are calling.

We will never ask you for security codes or access to your computer or phone. Someone who does is a scammer and you should hang up. When in doubt, hang up and call us on 1300 368 555.

You can (temporarily) block your card through our mobile app to make sure no one can use your card. You can also use the app or call us to replace your card when you are certain you've lost it, or someone has stolen it.

BankWAW may send SMS codes when:

• You sign into internet banking or complete a transaction through it
• You redraw funds from your loan online
• You make a payment online using your Visa card and the merchant requests verification of the transaction through Visa Secure
• You load your card into a digital wallet, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay

Please read the SMS message carefully and consider whether you’ve attempted to carry out one of these actions in the last few minutes.  If you remain concerned, please contact us at the earliest opportunity.

Here’s just a few reasons why you should consider becoming a customer:
