Nedbank’s app is secured by Entersekt, an award-winning local company with a large and rapidly growing international footprint. The SDK (software development kit) platform provides two-factor authentication without the need for one-time passwords (OTPs), using your mobile device as the second factor of authentication.
This promises to counter “all phishing, proxy Trojan horse, keystroke logging, call forwarding and number porting attacks”. To get started, you authenticate yourself via your regular online banking credentials (profile number, PIN and password), then provide a new five-character PIN to gain access to the app’s various functions
