This is the same technological approach that makes Internet Banking secure.

What is Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and what does it mean for Mobile Banking?

Multifactor Authentication ensures that even if someone learns the Access ID and Mobile PIN number of a customer, they will not be able to gain account access to Mobile Banking, as there is another authentication factor: A One Time Password (OTP) during the customer’s last login. Without both levels of authentication, no access is possible.
