What makes Axis Mobile safe and secure:

 ‘Axis Mobile’ is user specific. This means, it requires a 6 digit MPIN code (that is recognised by the bank) for you to transact. For security reasons make sure you do not share your MPIN with anyone when transacting.

If you happen to lose your smartphone on which the ‘Axis Mobile’ App was installed, it is recommended that you reach out to the customer service team to initiate the de-registration process. Although when you register the app again on the new device with your regular credentials, it automatically de-registers the application from the previous device.

Similarly, if you have formatted your smartphone, you just need to download and install the application again. Necessary checks will be performed by the application itself to ensure security. Enter your MPIN and the application is ready to use. However, for certain smartphones you may need to complete the registration process again.

Now say for instance, after installing the app, you change your registered mobile number; then the automatic registration will fail. This is because a security measure to confirm that the customer's mobile number is the same one registered for SMS Banking.

If you are using two handsets, the ‘Axis Mobile’ cannot be used on two devices simultaneously to ensure the security of your account.

Broadly, for security purpose, keep in mind the following points while using mobile banking:

• Download only the official app of the bank

• Keep updating the official app

• When you change your smartphone, delete the app, and then re-install it again

• In case you lose your smartphone, de-register the app by contacting customer service/phone banking 
• Do not handover your smartphone to a stranger, there is chance of misuse

• Beware of ‘smishing’ (combination of fraudulent SMS (text messages) and phishing)
• Do not share you mobile phone password
• Change yourpassword regularly
• Do not saver personal information on your smartphone (clear your cookies and cache regularly)
• Avoid using easy passwords that are vulnerable to hacking
• Preferably use screen locks to prevent unauthorized access
• Sign-up for SMS alerts to stay updated, as it can even help you keep checks on frauds
• Do not open a hyperlink from unknown sources
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi while transacting vide your smartphone (use your own data connection)
