Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
I know it's for security, and fraud is rife BUT, certainly up here it's going to cause a problem for many people. There are quite a few black spots that I know of and there's bound to be more. I think there needs to be another way.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
How hard is it? My bank just sends my mobile a security number to be entered, it is even easier because I do most of my banking on my phone anyway and my phone needs my finger print to open.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
I have never thought mobile telephones are safe enough for internet banking. I won't be doing it if there is any other alternative. I have a decent laptop and much prefer to come home and do my banking and purchasing on my lappy which I know is secure. Can't understand why they can't accommodate laptops. I don't like the small screens on mobiles anyway.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
It all seems to be getting a bit too invasive. They want to know everything about us so nothing is private any longer.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
Already fell foul of this.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
I can't see it as a problem, just get a cheap phone and another SIM card and use that exclusively for banking or financial transactions if you are concerned about security. Use your main phone for your personal stuff.Re: New online security checks exclude people without mobile phones or decent signal
It might not be as bad as I thought. Just had a message when I opened my on-line banking. It told me of the changes and how they would work. A mobile is probably not necessary. The bank asked me which device I wanted to use for identification purposes. I confirmed that I wanted the device I was on (which is my laptop) and it said they had registered it as the device I wanted to use for ID confirmation. That might be all there is to it then - fingers crossed.
