Authentification with the help of Code card
Upon logging on to the Internet banking site, you, as the User, are prompted to enter the User code, permanent password and a specific code from your code card. These means of identification are issued to you when you apply for electronic banking services at a branch of the bank.
The code card contains 72 six-digit codes. Every time you log on to the Internet banking site you will be prompted to enter one of the identification codes from your code card. Do not use the code card for writing down your permanent password or User code.
Should your permanent password become known to any third party, contact Customer Support Service immediately by dialling 67444444 and cancel your user rights until you receive a new password.
Keep your password secret, for the Internet banking site automatically presumes that the person logging on to the bank is you. The instructions given to the bank during a log-on session with correctly entered passwords and codes are considered your instructions and will be duly performed.
Authentification with the help of Code Calculator
The Code Calculator is an electronic device whereby the customer may identify himself/herself for the purposes of using electronic banking services either Internet or Telephone banking.
When using the Code Calculator as the log-on means for the Internet banking, you are asked to insert the User Code and an 8-digit code generated by the Code Calculator for the user identification purposes. The access code generated by the Code Calculator is generated once, in real time and is valid for a restricted period of time. Thus, even if it becomes known to any third party, he/she will not be able to use it anymore.
The Bank recommends using the Code Calculator for customers whose payment amounts exceed LVL 3000.
The Code Calculator is linked to the particular User. This implies that when using several services at the same time (for example, Swedbank Internet banking, Swedbank internet banking for business clients and Telephone banking services), you may use one Code Calculator for all these services Code Calculator.
The security ensured by the Code Calculator is based on two-tier authentication mechanism:
- entry of a PIN code for the Code Calculator set by the User, which enables the User to use the Code Calculator;
- entry of the access code generated by the Code Calculator, which is necessary to log on to the Internet banking site.
The PIN code (5 digits) is a combination of digits, by entering which the User generates an access code in the Code Calculator to be used for logging on to the Internet bank. The PIN code is requested upon pressing the button ON/OFF. You SHALL NOT disclose this PIN to ANYONE (including employees of the bank).
When you receive the Code Calculator at the branch of the bank, it will have a temporary PIN code (11111) installed. This is to be replaced by you with a five-digit PIN code at your discretion when using it for the first time.
When choosing the PIN code, select a combination of digits not easy to guess.
Remember the PIN code of your Code Calculator, do not write it down.
Under no circumstances should you keep the PIN together with the Code Calculator.
If you have forgotten your PIN and enter an incorrect digit combination for three consecutive times, the Code Calculator will be blocked. In this case the User should visit the bank to unblock the Code Calculator.
If the User has accidentally disclosed his/her PIN code or the User has any suspicion that the PIN may have become known to a third party, the PIN code must be changed immediately (see the Code Calculator User Manual).
Upon entering an incorrect PIN code, an error message (FAIL) is displayed. After the third consecutive unsuccessful attempt to activate the programme with an incorrect PIN code, the Code Calculator's programme is automatically blocked and cannot be activated anymore. The Customer must visit the bank to replace the Code Calculator.
The access Code is an eight-digit combination generated by the Code Calculator for the use of the banking services. The User receives the Access Code only after entering the five-digit PIN code (known only to the User).
The Access Code should be entered on the Internet bank log-on page or stated to the operator of the Telephone banking services.
The code generated by the Code Calculator may be used to log on to the Internet banking or Telephone banking services only for one single session. An Access Code cannot be used twice. The generated code is valid only for a certain period of time. This prevents the possibility for the access code to become known to third parties and for these to have fraudulent access to your account.
