The Secure Device, on top of the current SMS One Time Password ("SMS OTP"), is implemented as an additional gateway to enhance internet and mobile banking security.

It is designed for tightening the authentication process. For certain internet and mobile banking transactions that require a higher level of authentication, security clearance is further enhanced with the simultaneous use of SMS OTP and Secure Device.
