One Time Passwords add an extra level of security to online banking by using a two-step verification process.
This means once you’ve successfully logged into your account using your internet banking password (or PIN/pattern/fingerprint if you are using the app), you’ll also be asked to enter a unique code when you perform certain actions.
This second verification provides an additional layer of security that reduces the risk of fraudsters being able to access or transfer funds out of your account.
Currently, when you login to Internet Banking you use your member number and a password. If someone managed to access this information (if you’d written these details down or stored them in your phone for example) they may be able to transfer funds out of your accounts. By adding an extra step to the authentication process, we significantly reduce the risk of this happening, and if someone does gain access to your log in details, they won’t be able to access your accounts without also having access to your mobile.
If we have your current mobile number, then you can simply log in to Internet Banking on a desktop and click on the One Time Passwords option within the “Services” menu. Remember, you must have access to the nominated mobile phone number to ensure you receive your SMS code.
If we do not have your current mobile phone number, you can update it in Internet Banking or contact us on 1300 362 216.
