Phishing is a criminal activity, commonly used to fraudulently trick people into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an electronic communication. It is typically carried out using email or an instant message, although phone contact has been used as well.
If you receive an email that appears to have been sent by Northern Bank that requests you to enter personal information such as your account number or credit card number, do not reply and do not follow the instructions - even if the email suggests that you need to take immediate action to stop your account being frozen, or it indicates that you may incur a fine if you don't.
Northern Bank will never ask for personal information through email, and will not have sent this email.
If you suspect that you are the victim of fraud or a phishing attack, please report it using the form provided.
