Needham Bank recommends that you shop with merchants you know and trust. Making sure any internet purchase or shopping cart is secured with encryption to protect your account information. Look for secure transaction symbols such as a lock symbol in the lower right-hand corner of your web browser, or “https://…” in the address bar of the website. Once you've completed your purchase, log off from any website after a purchase transaction is made with your credit or debit card. If you cannot log off, shut down your browser to prevent unauthorized access to your account information.

When selecting a PIN, we recommend that you do not use a number or word that appears in your wallet, or any easily identifiable personal information, such as name, birth date, or phone number or other information that could be easily accessible on social media.
