To use the Internet Branch, certain security steps must be completed to ensure the system recognizes the user. By entering your customer number, password, and SMS verification code, you identify yourself to the system and complete the identity verification process.
It is a security measure implemented to enhance the safety of your transactions carried out through the Internet Branch.
With the "Remember Me" feature in the Katılım Mobile app, you can log in to the Internet Branch within the specified time by confirming the Mobile Notification sent to the device you logged in to with a single password.
To receive the Mobile Notification, your device must have the "Notifications" permission enabled in the Katılım Mobile app. If you have multiple devices registered with the "Remember Me" feature, you can select the device you wish to use for Mobile Notification login from your registered devices.
For transactions above certain amounts made through our Internet Branch, informational messages will be sent to your mobile phone registered as the contact number with our bank. This way, you can stay informed about all transactions made through the Internet Branch.
To prevent phishing attacks targeting Internet Banking customers, the use of a Security Image is implemented during the login process to the Internet Branch.
An SSL security certificate is used during your Internet Branch sessions.
SSL is a security protocol developed by Netscape to ensure the security and privacy of information transfer over networks.
SSL ensures that the information can only be decrypted at the correct address. Before the information is sent, it is automatically encrypted and can only be decrypted by the correct recipient. Both parties perform authentication to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the transaction and information.
During your Internet Banking session, if no action is taken within the allotted time, a warning window will appear asking whether you wish to continue your transactions. If no response is given within the given time frame or if you click the "Close Session" option, your session will be terminated. If you choose to continue your transactions, your session will remain active.
At all our ATMs, card copying is prevented by using Card Copy Prevention (CCP) devices, which create an electromagnetic protection field around the card reader area to prevent card duplication.
From your Internet Branch Security settings, you can set limitations and restrictions based on transaction limits, transaction restrictions, access times, and access identification (IP, ISP, domestic, international).
Mobile phone information can be updated at our branches or through our Ziraat Katılım Mobile app.
