If you are in doubt whether a website is genuine and legitimate, you should contact Customer Service. It is best practice to change your password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your MiFinity Account.

You are strongly advised to contact Customer Service without undue delay on becoming aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of your MiFinity Account, login details, password or other security features. Any undue delay in notifying us may not only affect the security of your MiFinity Account but may result in you being liable for any losses as a result. If you suspect that your MiFinity Account was accessed by someone else, you should also contact the police and report the incident.

6.3 We reserve the right to suspend your MiFinity Account or otherwise restrict its functionality on reasonable grounds relating to the security of the MiFinity Account or any of its security features or if we reasonably suspect that an unauthorised or fraudulent use of your MiFinity Account has occurred or that any of its security features have been compromised.

We will lift the suspension and/or the restriction as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension and/or restriction have ceased to exist.
