Customers cannot opt out of the New Device Detection notifications as this measure is intended to help customers detect any unauthorised login from a new mobile device.

There are 3 possibilities:

1. The Bank’s New Device Detection system (“System”) captures customers’ mobile device information for DBS digibank HK logins from 3 Sep 2023 and onwards. For DBS digibank HK logins before 3 Sep 2023, the mobile device information would not be in the System’s record and therefore, any subsequent logins would trigger the New Device Detection notification.
   
   
2. The System captures customers’ last 5 mobile devices used to log in to DBS digibank HK. If the mobile device used for DBS digibank HK login is not one of those 5 devices, this will trigger the New Device Detection notification as well.
   
   
3. The customer’s last DBS digibank HK login is more than 2 years ago.

• Consider downloading an ad blocker to enable the device’s browser to block advertisements and pop-ups.
• Keep your login and biometric credentials (such as fingerprint) used to unlock your device safe and secure to prevent unauthorised use of your device.
• Always read the authentication message carefully, including the transaction details, date and time, before authenticating any transaction with your Digital Token.

• Ensure adequate security (e.g. choose encrypted network and avoid using public Wi-Fi) for wireless network and devices, and take extreme caution when accessing public Wi-Fi connections. Regularly remove unnecessary Wi-Fi connection settings.
• Turn off any wireless network functions (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC) and contactless mobile payment features (e.g. payment apps) when not in use to reduce the risk of electronic pick-pocketing.
