Why do I need to set up a trusted mobile device?

Openbank is serious about the security of your account, your money, and your information. That’s why we’ve built industry-leading security into the way Openbank works – so that the only person who can access your account is you (or a joint account owner).

Setting up a trusted mobile device is a critical piece of this security strategy. Essentially, it ensures that your face or fingerprint become the keys to your account on the Openbank app – using biometric authentication on a smartphone or tablet that you choose as the gateway to your account.

For complete details on setting up the Openbank app, enabling face or fingerprint verification (biometric security), and setting up a trusted mobile device, please refer to our step-by-step demos for Apple® devices or for Android® devices.
