Why is OTP SMS Secure?

OTP SMS provides a 2 stage security while utilizing Internet Banking. By using a one time password that is sent to your mobile phone in addition to your user ID and static password, you have a high level security.

The passwords generated by the OTP SMS are one time passwords. Meaning that the OTP SMS password you have used for one of your transactions can't be used for a second time by you or another person.

Why Is This Security System "Smart"?

You have to use an OTP SMS confirmation password only when you are making for the first time a money transfer to an account.

Once you have used the OTP SMS one time, the OTP SMS recognizes the account you are making a money transfer to and you don't have to use any more "OTP SMS confirmation password" for the money transfers you are going to make to the same account later on. You need to delete the check at the box near "Always request Smart PIN for this receiver" line.

Why OTP SMS?

  • It provides a two stage security for your risky operations.
  • Your password sent by the OTP SMS can be used only once. It can't be used again even if it is obtained by others.
  • You don't have to remember an additional password for extra security.
  • You can have the extra security as free-of-charge.
  • You can begin using it immediately upon your application
