How to Confirm Your Bank Account Has Been Compromised

    Pin down what was accessed and what was moved before you call.

    What to do

      • Open the bank app from a device the scammer never touched
      • List every transaction, payee or login alert you don't recognise — note dates, amounts and reference numbers
      • Check Recent activity / Login history for unfamiliar devices, IP addresses or locations
      • Look for new payees, standing orders, direct debits or changed daily limits
      • Screenshot everything before the bank closes the session
