Is an e-token secure?

Similar to a wallet, your mobile phone is a personal item that contains confidential information and has the ability to provide additional security controls. Most smart devices allow you to set a password before the phone can be opened/accessed.

You should set a password in order to lock your phone and ensure that you do not save your details for logging into Rural Bank Internet Banking.

When selecting a 4 digit PIN or password for logging onto Internet Banking it’s recommended to use a unique set of numbers and not something that could be easily guessed, e.g. date of birth, sequence of numbers like 11111 or 1234.
