At a Glance
DBS CN is committed to satisfy customers’ banking needs and a high level of banking security as well. We are pleased to introduce DBS Secure Device to enhance internet and mobile banking security.
Supreme Security
Security clearance is further enhanced with the simultaneous use of SMS OTP and Secure Device.
Quicker Access
You may conduct several transactions with lower security via DBS iBanking or DBS mBanking directly upon inputting your Username and Password. The SMS OTP or Secure PIN is no longer required for this.
Simpler Login
We have made logging into DBS mBanking easier. Your DBS iBanking Username and Password will become the same as the ones for DBS iBanking.
Portable Device
Secure Device is easy to carry which can benefit your banking on-the-go.
What is a Secure Device
The Secure Device, on top of the current SMS OTP, is an additional gateway to enhance internet and mobile banking security.
It is a small, portable electronic device, which generates random Security PIN for one-time use, required to log on and transact on DBS iBanking and DBS mBanking.
It is designed for the tightening of the authentication process. For certain internet and mobile banking transactions that require a higher level of authentication, security clearance is further enhanced with the simultaneous use of SMS OTP and Secure Device.
Where I can get Secure Device
You can take your ID documents and visit any DBS CN branch for device collection.
