            Introducing Singpass Face Verification (SFV) to protect you against phishing scams NEW!

            As part of the latest industry move to strengthen the resilience against phishing scams, we have introduced Singpass Face Verification (SFV) as part of the Digital Token set-up.

            This additional layer of authentication will be prompted if there is any unusual or suspicious activity detected during the Digital Token setup process, which will make it harder for scammers to gain access to your accounts. This is in addition to the authentication required when you perform high-risk transactions currently, and is part of the bank’s continuous efforts to reinforce existing processes and controls, to detect and block suspicious transactions and accounts.
