Bank of Valletta has launched ‘BOV Protect’ a service that is backed by a software package that is being offered to customers free of charge. BOV Protect provides an added layer of internet security on the customer’s personal computer.

“Whilst the Bank’s systems are secured by a state of-the-art security infrastructure, the personal computers that our customers use to conduct their internet banking transactions can be infected by malicious software (malware) designed to simulate situations which could lead to online banking fraud. Now, by installing the BOV Protect service, our customers can protect their personal computers and keep them clean of financial malware, thus increasing security when online,” said Michael Galea, Chief Officer Operations at Bank of Valletta. “This is yet another layer of security that we are adding on to our 24×7 services so as to assist our customers to be safer and more secure during their online banking sessions,” added Mr. Galea.
