What is a One Time Password (OTP)?

A One Time Password (OTP) is a code sent via SMS to the mobile number you have registered with BankVic, to add additional security to your account. OTP’s provide additional security to your Internet Banking.

Why is BankVic now using OTP?

Because OTP’s give us another way to verify who you are, it means that you won’t need to call us when you want to change your Internet Banking password.

Why do you need my mobile number for OTP?

OTP’s work by sending a code that can be used only once to a device that belongs to you. In this case that device is your mobile phone. When we have your mobile number registered, we can send OTPs to that number to confirm that the person requesting a change to your Internet Banking password is you.

What if I don’t use a mobile phone?

We understand not everyone is able to, or wants to use, a mobile phone. In this case, it just means that if you want to change your Internet Banking password, you’ll need to call us so that we can ask some questions that will verify your identity.

How can I use the OTP function if I don’t use a mobile phone?

If no mobile number is recorded on your profile, unfortunately you will not be able to use the password reset facility. You can always call us to reset your password instead.

Do I need to register for OTP?

If we already have your mobile number, you will automatically be registered.

If we don’t have your mobile number, we recommend you call us to provide your mobile number and request to be registered for OTP.

Do I need to use an OTP every time I log in to Internet Banking?

No, OTPs are only sent when you perform an action that needs an additional layer of security. To start with, we’ll be using it when you want to change your Internet Banking password, but in future we will extend this to other banking activities like payments.

Why do you need my mobile number, can I use my email instead?

Unfortunately, OTP is only compatible with SMS and your registered mobile number for security purposes.

Can I receive an OTP if I am travelling overseas?

Yes, but you’ll need to activate international roaming on your mobile phone (and keep your Australian SIM card in your phone) when you travel overseas to receive OTPs. Contact your network provider as you may incur an additional cost.

Please note that there can be a delay in receiving the text message. After 10 minutes the OTP will no longer be valid. If you have problems call us using our international number (+613 9268 9373) during our call centre business hours and change your password by speaking to us.

Will I need an OTP each time I log into Internet Banking or the app?

No. The way you log into Internet Banking and the app won’t change.

Will I receive an OTP for everything I do within Internet banking?

No, an OTP will only be triggered if you initiate an Internet Banking password reset request. We may require an OTP for some other transaction types – such as cash transfers – in the future.

What happens if I enter an incorrect OTP?

You will be told to enter it again. You can do this up to four more times before your account is locked. If this occurs, you’ll need to call us on 13 63 73 to unlock your account.

How many attempts do I get?

Five attempts total are given to enter the OTP correctly. Failure to enter the OTP correctly after five attempts will cause your account to be blocked. You will need to call us on 13 63 73 to request your account to be unblocked.

How long is the OTP valid?

The OTP is valid for 10 minutes after being issued.

What does the OTP SMS look like?

The SMS will come from ‘BankVic’ and say:

Your Internet Banking SMS One Time Password is 'XXXXXX' and expires at XX:XX:XX.

(‘X’ represents a digit)

Why am I not receiving my OTP?

There may be a few reasons you are not receiving your OTP:

• we don't have your current mobile phone number
• there may be a delay with your service provider sending SMS
• you are overseas and have changed your SIM card

Can I use the same mobile number on two different Internet Banking logins?

Yes.

How do I update my mobile number that is registered for SMS?

To change the mobile number registered for your SMS OTP security, you will need to call us on 13 63 73 and let us know your new number.

You cannot update your mobile number via Internet Banking for security reasons.

What can I do if I have lost my mobile phone/don’t have access to it and I have generated an OTP?

Call us on 13 63 73.
