With Secure Key, our latest QIB Mobile App feature, simplicity meets security in every transaction you make. Say hello to a new level of digital banking security through a simple multi factor authentication.
Instead of going through the hassle of entering the OTP you receive by SMS, you get a more secure and even more convenient alternative to authenticate your transactions, all at your fingertips.
One-Time Password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction. It is only effective for a fixed and short period of time and becomes invalid once the user logs in or completes a transaction, making them exceptionally useful against spyware such as key logging programs.
