SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT
How Can I Secure My Account?
- Always use a complex password (e.g., not “123456”)
Secure your account and personal information by using a complex password. Complex passwords include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Don’t use information that’s easy for hackers to find, like your birth year or digits from your phone number.
- Use a different password from other web accounts
Creating unique login credentials for each and every account you have online is one of the most important steps to securing your information. Having strong, unique login credentials for each account can prevent scammers from accessing each of your accounts at once.
- Notify our support team if you notice unusual activity
If you’ve noticed unusual activity on your GetitBB account, we strongly recommend that you change your password immediately. Notify our support team using the chat function in the app or on our website, and we’ll help you secure your account.
We strongly recommend that you also immediately contact your financial institution and payment card provider to stop any further transactions.
