One-Time Passwords is a unique password sent to your nominated mobile phone as an SMS message when prompted.

Importantly, NEVER share a One Time Password with a third party as this will increase your risk of fraud.

One-Time Password is an extra level of security on your Internet Banking. It is easy to use, quick and portable so you can access your Internet Banking account with confidence from anywhere around the world.  

We offer one type of One Time Password:

  • SMS text - One Time codes are sent by text message to your nominated mobile phone

The One-Time Password service creates random temporary codes that you will need to input when prompted  - typically when using Internet Banking, Mobile App or paying for goods online.  

The OTP is automatically sent to the registered mobile phone number when requested. 

Once you receive the password, enter the code into the space provided.

We encourage all members who use Internet Banking to request this additional layer of security on your accounts. Once registered you will be required to use a One-Time Password when prompted - giving you that extra level of security all the time. Once you have requested this service, within 3 business days, your daily external internet banking limit will be increased to $4,000.
