Privacy and Security

Dsk National strives to exceed expectations regarding your privacy and security, as both are very important. We won’t store personal or financial information on your mobile device and will not use your camera or contact lists for any purpose. All wireless communications are securely encrypted using the industry standard.

Recently, Dsk National has seen significant changes in the Online Banking threat landscape. Fraudsters have continued to develop and deploy more sophisticated, effective, and malicious methods to compromise authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorised access to customers’ online accounts. Rapidly growing organised criminal groups have become more specialised in financial fraud and have been successful in compromising an increasing array of controls.

Various complicated types of attack tools have been developed and automated into downloadable kits. Fraudsters are responsible for losses of hundreds of millions of dollars resulting from online account takeovers and unauthorised funds transfers. Dsk National is providing the below security awareness information for your use and action to help protect your online account and transaction information.

To access our Online Banking service, you must enter the Username that’s established or provided for your Online Banking Customer Account together with a Password and additional security credentials. It is your responsibility to safeguard these credentials after they are provided. Anyone to whom you give your Online Banking credentials will have full access to your accounts, even if you attempt to limit that person’s authority. You or someone you have authorised by giving them your Online Banking credentials can instruct us to perform the following transactions:

  • Make transfers between your qualifying accounts to the extent authorised
  • Obtain information that we make available about your qualifying accounts
  • Obtain other services or perform other transactions that we authorise.

You must have enough money or credit in any account from which you instruct us to make a payment or transfer. You also agree to the Terms & Conditions of your deposit account that you received when you opened your deposit account.
