Other apps on your mobile device cannot access information from the First Citizens Mobile App. Mobile Apps are independent from one another. This means the data contained in one app is not visible to any other app on your device.

Malware and viruses are potential threats on any computer system, including mobile devices. In order to protect your mobile device from malware and viruses, you should follow some precautionary steps:

• Always keep apps on your device up to date, as the publisher might have found a vulnerability and updated the app to fix it.
• Use only the recommended app stores (Apple and Google) to download new apps and only download the apps that come from well-known publishers and have high review scores.
• Avoid rooting your phone which manipulates your device operating system and may make it more vulnerable to malware and viruses.
• As a good security practice, we strongly recommend that you change passwords regularly, consistently update your antivirus software and be careful when connecting to WiFi networks. Fraudsters are capitalizing on these vulnerabilities to steel user’s online credentials.

Should I be concerned about phishing from my mobile device?
Conceptually, phishing is the same on a mobile device as it is on your computer. A fraudster uses a fake website to capture your personal information. Always verify the entire URL before entering your personal information on any website.

Should you receive any suspicious links, sites or emails please call 62-FIRST or email  channelsupport@firstcitizenstt.com
To be safe make sure the lock icon appears next to the browser address and that the address begins with “https”. The “s” indicates that you have a secure connection. First Citizens never uses “http” for any customer interaction.

What is a spoof or fake app in the App Store?
A spoof is an app created to look like the official First Citizens Mobile App. This is similar to phishing, but it’s performed through an app instead or a website. To avoid downloading a spoof app, always use the recommended app stores (Apple and Google) to download or update the First Citizens Mobile App and confirm that First Citizens is the publisher.
