What is my e-mail address used for?
The e-mail address you provided during registration will be used in the instance you do not know the answer to your security questions and therefore can't get logged into Home Banking. When requested, a randomly generated one-time authentication code will be sent to this e-mail address that you will then use to be authenticated. |

Which e-mail address can I use?
You may use any e-mail address you choose. We highly recommend that you use an e-mail address that you can access from a browser interface. This e-mail will only be used when you forget your answers to your security questions.

Why am I shown my Security Image and Security Phrase? How does this help protect me?
One of the most common tricks fraudsters use is making users think they are logging into a valid website when they are indeed logging into a fraudulent site. Having a Security Image and Security Phrase that only we know makes it more difficult for fraudsters to trick you into giving them your answers to your security questions. If you never type in the answer to your security question unless you see your Security Image and Security Phrase then you will be less likely to be tricked into sharing it with fraudsters. |
