Domestic banks have taken many measures to upgrade the security of transaction through online bank. To fully meet clients’ demands on the security of online bank and to build safe environment for online transaction, since the opening of online bank business, China Minsheng Banking Corp. Ltd has focused on the security of online bank, constantly improved management of security of online bank and built a safe system for online bank by taking bank terminal, internet and client terminal into consideration.
At present, authentication methods for online bank security include digital certificate, dynamic password and cell phone verification of which digital certificate is the most popular one in use with high security. Since the opening of online bank business, Minsheng has adopted the digital certificate issued by CFCA, an authority in the third-party security authentication organizations in China. With this method, the authenticity of identity of both parties involved in a transaction and the privacy and factuality of a transaction are guaranteed. In 2008, we launched personal online banking U Bao which stored the digital certificate in the USB-key in order to prevent it from been copied, falsified or educed. Clients can only log in online banking with U Bao and password. In this way, the security of transaction through online banking has been upgraded. As the online banking product with the highest security level launched by this bank, Minsheng U Bao has been acknowledged in the financial and banking industrial and by clients. It has been awarded “Safest Online Banking Award” by CFCA for two consecutive years, “Safest Online Banking Product of 2010” at the 4th Chinese E-financial Development Annual Meeting, etc. To meet clients’ demands, we have constantly upgraded and optimized U Bao. By now, we have launched U Bao free of driving, U Bao with preset certificate, colorful U Bao, Shengxiao U Bao and octopus U Bao. At present, nearly a million clients are using Minsheng U Bao, including a large number of medium and high-end clients. These people are our most important online banking clients.
While promoting Minsheng U Bao, we have actively taken many other measures to safeguard transaction through online banking. In 2009, we began to provide phishing site monitoring service which monitored phishing sites and fake sites on internet related with our bank for 24 hours. Once fake sites are found, the service system will inform Anti-Phishing Alliance of China to close the sites. In this way, we can effectively prevent phishing sites from eavesdropping or attacking our clients’ private information, such as account number and password and therefore, prohibit injuries to our clients’ interests from phishing sites and wrong links. We have online banking transaction risk control platform that protects our clients’ funds by screening suspicious transactions by analysis of cases and data and defining monitoring rules. We have online banking antivirus tool that shields virus online when clients log in or use online banking. Clients are free from risk of revealing of information when using online banking because our online banking antivirus tool will clear away virus in the clients’ computers. Meanwhile, we reinforce education on security of online banking. We have online banking transaction risk tips on our website, apparatus showing how to use online banking and brochures on security of online banking at counters in the bank. With these measures, we guide clients to use online banking correctly and safely, develop good habit in using online banking and raise awareness on fake websites.
