✅Double-check who’s contacting you. If something feels off, don’t reply.
✅Contact the bank directly using official details (their website or app) - not the message you received.
✅Don’t click links in unexpected or suspicious messages.
✅Never share sensitive info like codes, passwords, or banking logins - they will never ask for these.
✅Don’t allow remote access or screen sharing on your device, even if they claim to be from a trusted organisation.
ANZ shared that they may contact you to check a transaction but they will never ask for access to your device, security codes, or to move your money.

For some, it's a chance for an epic Easter egg hunt and for others, it may be a trip to church. For some, it might just be a few days of sleeping in.
We'd love to know, how do YOU mark Easter each year?
