Security
Your information’s security is our top priority at National Investment Bank. Your information is protected from unauthorised access and use, modification, and deletion using physical, technological, and administrative safeguards that adhere to the applicable legal standards. To make sure that your transactions remain private, we have put in place both internal and external control procedures.
While Internet Banking is simply a different banking channel that we provide for the convenience of our clients, NIB has evaluated the risk from both an operational and a technological and security standpoint. The following list includes some of the dangers we have taken into account:
From an operational standpoint, consumer transaction authentication is a critical risk area. We have set up a multi-level process as a precaution, whereby customers can only conduct Internet Banking transactions if they are legitimate account holders and then by using a combination of a special Customer ID and a special, randomly generated password that is known only to the customer and that he or she can change as needed. The consumer is responsible for protecting the privacy of the password. Additionally, clients are only permitted to conduct financial transactions across accounts if they already have regular operational permissions to do so.
Another danger that has been discovered is the consumer rejecting the transaction. However, in order to conduct transactions, clients must first log in using a specific Customer ID and Password combination. Highest industry standards for security have been adopted by the Bank, and they are continuously evaluated to address any emerging security concerns. Our data centre has a specialised crew that monitors the financial systems around-the-clock.
The operational and internal control measures we have in Internet Banking include:
Access to Internet Banking provided only based on application and valid customer ID. Internet banking password – issued to customers only on specific request.
OTP – generated using an internationally validated algorithm via text message.
Access to customer information – given based on a combination of a unique Customer ID and password.
Therefore, a customer can access account information only on those accounts where he has a relationship with the bank (Account Holder). Wherever, the customer has opted to avail the third party fund transfer services of the Bank, the bank provides a window for transfer of funds to any account holder within the bank and who does not share any relationship with the customer’s account. All correspondence on account of transactions originating from Internet Banking is sent to the customer’s address registered with the Bank and not to any third party address. Account related customer information or instructions which are confidential in nature are not solicited/accepted over email. Customer logins and activities are tracked and the same is available for future investigation.
National Investment Bank follows a strict policy of Backup, Storage and Retrieval for all its systems, which includes Internet Banking.
While we do make every effort to ensure the security of every information/data on all our electronic channels and media, NIB makes no warranties, whether express or implied that there are no cybersecurity or related risks whether to the information shared here or in your access and use of this or any other channel services the Bank may provide. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not accept liability of any kind (direct, indirect, consequential) which may arise which may arise from your use, reliance or access to these channels, except there is a clear negligence on our part.
