If you bank online, you know how important it is to keep your account secure when logging in or approving transactions. In the past, this meant relying on passwords, security devices or physical tokens.

Now, HSBC has taken online banking to the next level. With HSBC Secure Logon, you can enjoy a secure and seamless logon experience by scanning a QR code and/or verifying a 6-digit number – no passwords or mobile secure keys required.

Here are 3 reasons why HSBC Secure Logon is the better choice for online banking:

HSBC Secure Logon removes two major online banking security risks: passwords and shareable security codes. Without anything to remember, type, or manually approve cannot be delegated to another party since the registered device must be with the user, the chances of phishing or password theft are drastically reduced.

The QR code you scan is unique, time-sensitive, and expire after use. To add an extra layer of security, you’ll match a 6-digit number on your browser with the one on your trusted device. This ensures the login request is genuine and initiated by you. The additional step of verifying the three-browser log on information gives you extra confidence that you are logging on to HSBC genuine website.

Logging on has never been easier. HSBC Secure Logon removes the need to remember passwords or generate Mobile Security Key (MSK) codes.

Instead, you simply scan a QR code and match a unique 6-digit number using the HSBC Malaysia Mobile Banking app. This makes the process faster, smoother, and hassle-free.

Since your registered device is already part of your daily life, HSBC Secure Logon ensures secure access wherever you are – without needing extra devices or credentials.

Every time you log on, you’ll see details like your browser, location, and the date/time of the request. This gives you:

• Instant confirmation of successful log on
• Early warnings if something doesn't look right
• Greater confidence that your account is protected
   

If you notice anything suspicious, you can reject the log on request with a single tap and report it immediately.

While HSBC Secure Logon is designed with advanced security in mind, it’s still important to practice good digital habits:

• Register your own facial or fingerprint recognition on your own device, not someone's else
• Keep your registered device secure and protected
• Download and install only official/known apps from official app stores
   

By verifying each log on and keeping your device safe, you can enjoy a secure, seamless, and hassle-free online banking experience –  without the need for passwords or mobile secure keys.
