unsafe internet banking

When I logged into internet banking on my laptop with my username and password I didn't have to confirm the login with my fingerprint on my phone like before, why ? That means that anyone who has my username and password can simply log into my bank account ***

Good day 

Thank you for raising your concern.

Please note that the login experience may vary depending on factors such as whether the device is recognized as a trusted device, your recent activity, and system security checks.

If your laptop is already verified, additional authentication (such as fingerprint approval) may not always be required.

Kindly be assured that this does not reduce the security of your account.

Multiple layers of protection remain in place, and any unusual activity will trigger additional verification.

We recommend keeping your login details secure and only accessing your account on trusted devices.

Kindest regards,
Standard Bank Hello Peter Team
