SSL Certificate

provides protection from any third party breach while the two i.e. bank and the
account holder are sharing a layer of communication. SSL protects this layer
and prevent any interruption. It uses the encryption technology that is
impossible to crack. A supercomputer would take 100s of years if it starts
decrypting the SSL protected layer.

payment or any changes to the bank account is confirmed by a password followed
by another step that is added to provide even more security. In digital
Banking, the two-step verification is used by OTP method meaning an OTP will be
sent to your mobile number.

the very first step includes providing the password which is followed by
providing the payment key via OTP sent to the mobile number registered with the
bank. It prevents any false payment initiated and helps the account to secure
its payments.
