Why do I need 3D Secure Authentication protection?
CBD Mobile Banking Apps use various security measures and data encryption to ensure your day to day banking is completely safe with a User ID/Password, PIN and security token for high level transactions. Some of these security measures are:
The ability to control your beneficiaries by adding or removing utility bills, internal and external payments details through synchronisation from CBD Online Banking through receiving an OTP (one time password) notification on your mobile.
Smartphones make up an integral part of our lives. With mobile payments and banking becoming increasingly popular, it is important that you apply the same security measures to your mobile phone as you would to your computer. In the wrong hands, your mobile phone could give the wrong person access to your accounts and ultimately your money. Keeping your phone updated and secure is the first step towards real mobile security.
Under SIM swap fraud, fraudsters manage to get a new SIM card issued against your registered mobile number through the mobile service provider. With the help of this new SIM card, they get access to One Time Passwords (OTP) and alerts required for making financial transactions through your bank accounts.
How do fraudsters operate?
Step 1 : Fraudsters gather customer's personal information through phishing, vishing, smishing or any other means.
Step 2 : They then approach the mobile operator and get the SIM blocked. After this they visit the mobile operator's retail outlet with the fake ID proof, posing as the customer.
Step 3 : The mobile operator deactivates the genuine SIM card and issues a new one to the fraudster.
Step 4 : Fraudster then generates a One Time Password (OTP) required to facilitate transaction, using the stolen banking information. This OTP is received on the new SIM held by the fraudster.
