HSBC is committed to providing high levels of security to allow peace of mind for our customers. To protect from any unauthorized access, HSBC Mobile Banking has the same access level of security as HSBC Internet Banking with introduction of Security Device and Dual Password. The technology provides one of the most successful and convenient security measures available that best meets our customersÂ’ need for flexibility and portability.
The Security Device is a small digital authentication generator (the size of a key ring) that generates a constantly changing, single-use six digit Security Code. When you activate your Security Device, it becomes unique to you only.
Certain online activities and transactions, eg. 3rd party account transfers, requires Security Code in order to add protection to you.
Your Role in Security
To ensure Mobile Banking security, HSBC would suggest you to adopt following measures:
 |
Your password must be secure, unique and difficult to guess. It MUST NOT be shared with anyone. No one from HSBC will ask you for your Password. |
 |
DO NOT choose a Password that you use for other services (eg. public email accounts, social networking accounts). Your password for Mobile Banking should be unique. |
 |
Change your Internet Banking password regularly. |
