One of Nigerian leading bank, Skye Bank, has recently introduced an
enhanced security protocol for web-based transactions, aimed at ensuring
an improved service and security of customers' funds.
This protocol is a convenient and reliable means to authenticate
all payment being transact or carryout on the Web. This can only Pop up on Websites that are MasterCard Secure code enabled.
From now on, all web based transactions performed using a Skye bank MasterCard on a MasterCard Secure code enabled website will be authenticated with an OTP (One-Time Password), which will be automatically generated and sent to the customer's registered phone number and email address.
The customer will be required to input this OTP as a sign that the transaction is of authentic and approved of by the original account holder to complete the transaction.
And without the correct OTP provided, the transaction will not be completed but will rather be terminated.
Benefits of the MasterCard Secure code:
To ensure that customers do receive the OTP whenever sent, Skye bank
customers are expected to update their banking profile with their
current contact numbers and email addresses, especially if any of their
information changes.
To update your banking details, you have to visit any of the Skye bank branches to receive and complete a Customer Information Update form.
Note: You should know to be careful in how you handle and manage your mobile devices in order to prevent undue and unauthorized access to your personal banking information by a third party.
