One Time Password (OTP) is a security feature in DBS iBanking. The OTP of DBS iBanking is a password sent by us to your mobile phone number (registered with DBS Bank for this purpose) via Short Message Service (SMS). An OTP is required when you log on to DBS iBanking or perform designated transactions. The SMS will not be forwarded to any other mobile phone number even if you have subscribed for SMS forwarding service provided by telecommunication service provider in Hong Kong.

(a) information you know (that is your username and password) and
(b) information the bank provides to you (that is the SMS-based OTP)

Online fraud and mischief is becoming increasingly sophisticated and as it evolves, online security itself has to advance to combat these cyber crimes. With the implementation of dual password authentication during the logon process, should your username and password be compromised for any reason, the "thief" will also need to have your registered mobile phone for the OTP, without which he will be unable to access your iBanking. This makes it more difficult for hackers who manage to obtain a string of customers' usernames and passwords via phishing or spyware.
