Simple steps to protect your IDEaL account, and how to recognise messages that do not come from IDEaL.

4 steps About 2 minutesUpdated 15 October 2026
1

Protect your password

Use a strong password that you do not use anywhere else, and never share it. IDEaL staff will never ask for your password or verification code.

2

Pay only to IDEaL's official accounts

Payments are made only to the bank accounts shown on our website at checkout, in IDEaL’s name. Be cautious of anyone asking you to pay into a personal account, or contacting you from an unfamiliar number or email address. If in doubt, call us on the numbers on our Contact page.

3

Sign out on shared devices

If you use a shared or public computer, sign out when you finish (My profile → Logout) and do not let the browser save your password.

4

Report anything suspicious

If you think someone else has used your account, reset your password straight away and email support@ideal-nig.org.
