To know that an email or website is not authentic, you should watch out for the language used in the email. Most suspicious emails will tend to refer you as dear and sometimes do not mention your name because they do not know it. More often than not, these fake emails will be telling you that you have won a discount or prize and that you should follow some instructions to claim it.

Watch out for emails that tell you to click on a particular link. These links will lead you to a fake website that the fraudsters can trick you into your account as they copy your login credentials. Once these scammers get your credentials, they can make illegal transactions using your account. Do not reply to an email that asks you for your password or credit card information.

Once you receive emails that seem to have a particular urgency telling you to verify your credentials so that your account is not suspended, you should report these emails to Transferwise. To avoid your account from being hacked, you should update your privacy by changing your password as regularly as possible and avoiding using obvious passwords like your birthday.

To choose a secure password, you should use a combination of letters, numbers, and special symbols. Choose a password that is unique and has more than eight characters. To enhance your security, never entrust anyone with your password or put your password when other people are looking. You should also update your security questions.

Transferwise protects your account information by encrypting it and regularly updating their servers. The technical team at TransferWise monitors the data and watches out for suspicious activities of any of the accounts. The staff at TransferWise undergoes regular training where they are educated on how to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
