We recommend using a computer web browser or Hang Seng Mobile App to log on for enhanced security. Please visit "Security Information Centre" for more security tips.
To ensure online protection and provide you safe and secure e-Banking services, we have implemented the following online security measures.
In the meantime, you can also help safeguard your account information and data privacy. Please read the FAQs on Privacy and Security and visit Security Information Centre for more information.
When you log on to Personal e-Banking (Desktop version) with a new browser, you must choose whether to "Trust this browser".
After trusting a browser, you can log on via the same browser by entering the password or one-time security code only. No additional verifications needed. But you will be required to trust your browser again when there are certain changes on your device or browser, such as software version, to secure safety.
When using a new / untrusted browser to log on, we will need additional verification (enter a one-time SMS verification code or one-time security code) to confirm your identity.
This security measure protects your Personal e-Banking (Desktop version) against unauthorised log-on.
The Mobile Security Key / Security Device employs two-factor authentication to ensure data privacy and protect particularly high-risk transactions in Personal e-Banking. The Mobile Security Key is a digital version of the Security Device within Hang Seng Personal e-Banking mobile app. You can generate one-time security codes for verification purposes when you perform designated transactions with either your Mobile Security Key or physical Security Device.
Effective from 1 July 2022, we no longer issue a physical Security Device to Personal e-Banking customers (except for those with accessibility needs). Customers may download Hang Seng Personal Banking mobile app and switch to Mobile Security Key for more convenient banking services.
Transaction Signing
For added online protection when you perform any high -risk transactions, you are required to enter transaction-specific information into the Mobile Security Key / Security Device to generate a unique security code that will authorise the respective instruction in Personal e-Banking. This additional transaction verification function further prevents fraudulent attacks and ensures high-risk transaction will be made only for the account you specify.
