Why do I need to set up a trusted mobile device?

Openbank is serious about the security of your account, your money, and your information. That’s why we’ve built industry-leading security into the way Openbank works – so that the only person who can access your account is you (or a joint account owner).

Setting up a trusted mobile device is a critical piece of this security strategy. Essentially, it ensures that your mobile device is the key to your account on the Openbank app. We recommend using biometric authentication which offers an extra layer of security and streamlines access to your account.
