2FA refers to two-factor authentication, an enhanced process to secure your access and use of Internet Banking.

Two-factor authentication is a security process in which the user provides two means of identification. One is typically a physical token which generates a One-Time-Password, for example, the Digipass. The other is typically something memorised i.e. USERNAME, PASSWORD and ORGANISATION ID. In this context, the two factors involved are sometimes spoken of as “something you have” and “something you know”.

Used in combination, these two factors will provide greater peace of mind in performing banking transactions over the internet.

Our Bank is committed to high levels of online banking security. We introduced 2FA in Internet Banking since its inception in 2001 The introduction of the 2nd factor authentication during login process provides an additional layer of security to ensure that our customers’ banking information and transactions online are safe and secure.

In light of increased Internet security threats like Phishing and the use of Spyware, employing 2FA will significantly mitigate the risk of someone, impersonating as yourself, gaining illegal access to your Internet banking account.

By combining the use of "something you know" (your login credentials and password) and "something you have" (your personal Digipass) to access Internet Banking, this works in combination to provide you with greater assurance and confidence when performing financial transactions over the Internet.

The Digipass security device has been successfully adopted by Internet Banking customers since its inception in 2001. Hence, we would like to continue with a practice which our customers from the business community are already familiar and comfortable with.

The new Digipass provides both security and convenience. Access to Internet Banking is further protected by the USER NAME, PASSWORD and ORGANISATION ID which is something known only to the User. This fulfils the 2FA security process where ‘something you have’ (hardware token) and ‘something you know’ (Username, Password and Organisation ID) are both required in order to login to Internet Banking. For security reasons, users are advised to keep their passwords confidential and to keep their Digipass with them at all times.

The new Digipasses in the Starter Kit are not pre-assigned. Each user can choose any one of the new Digipasses to complete a one-time registration and activation process upon first login.

No, once a user has completed the one-time registration to their Digipass, their Username / ID will be registered to that Digipass making this Digipass unique to the User. The Digipass cannot be registered to another Internet Banking user. This protects and ensures the integrity of each user’s access to Internet Banking.

If the Digipass(es) has already been registered to their respective user, the correct device must be used for login, otherwise the login will fail.
