Security

 

Device Registration

 

1.) Why do I need to register my mobile device?

Every time you download the RCBC Pulz app on a new device, you will have to register the device. 

This is to ensure that your account can only be accessed on your trusted mobile devices.

Upon login to the newly downloaded RCBC Pulz, you will be prompted to register your device. Enter the required OTP to validate your device registration

Biometrics

A biometric log-in allows you to sign into your RCBC Pulz account using your phone’s built-in biometric scanner. This can be done through facial recognition (iOS device only) or fingerprint scanning.

 

2.) What are the benefits of logging in using biometrics?

The primary benefit is convenience. With biometrics, you do not have to type in your User ID and password every time you log in RCBC Pulz. Your identity will be proven by your biometrics and log-in will be instantaneous. You can also use biometrics for certain transactions such as bills payment, etc. instead of inputting an OTP. 

 

3.) How do I use the biometric log-in?

You must first log-in to your account using your User ID and password. Upon successful log-in, a prompt will ask you if you would like to use biometrics for your next log-in. Once accepted, you will now be able to enjoy hassle-free log-in using biometrics to your RCBC Pulz app every time by tapping on the fingerprint/ face logo in the log in page. You may also enable/disable biometrics via “Security Settings” of your app.

One-Time Password (OTP)

A One-Time Password (OTP) is a unique 6 digit code that will be sent via SMS to your registered mobile number every time you login and transact in RCBC Online Banking.

 

 

2.) How does a One-Time Password provide better online security?

 

A One-Time Password serves as an additional layer of security to your online account. Since the OTP is sent to your registered mobile number, only you have access to the OTP which is needed to complete the login process and transaction.

Do not divulge your OTP to others. Anyone from RCBC will NEVER ask for your password.

 

 

3.) How do I update my mobile number to receive OTP?

 

Please visit any RCBC branch to update your mobile number.

2.) What is Push-Notification?
Push notification is a small, pop-up message sent by a mobile app (like a text message) to a user’s device. Unlike SMS that is used as a means of conversational communication, push notifications are designed to deliver important information, updates, promotion and more, in a personal way as related to the app.

 

3.) I downloaded the RCBC Pulz app on multiple mobile devices, will I be able to receive the OTP on all of my devices?
No. You need to set a primary device. The primary device will be the only device that will receive the OTP via App.
