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.
On top of your user name, we have adopted dual password authentication, which requires your first password and three random characters from your second password to log on to Personal e-Banking. The dual password authentication reduces the chance that hackers or attackers capture your second password in full.
If you have activated your Mobile Security Key / Security Device, you may choose to log on with your first password and the security code generated by the Mobile Security Key / Security Device.
The Security Device / Mobile Security Key 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 the 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.
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.
