In addition, monetary transactions will require authorisation by the account signatories through the use of a personal Token and related PIN.

The mandate for the approval of these monetary transactions will be governed by the Authorisation Profiles as instructed by the customer in the UOB Business Internet Banking service registration form.

Set Cipher Strength to 128-bit encryption:

 
  Go to the browser menu.  
  Click on 'Help' and then select 'About Internet Explorer'.  
  At the pop-up window, if 'Cipher Strength' is not 128-bit, click on 'Update Information'.

Q16. Why must my browser be Java-enabled?
 

The Bank uses a Java applet for added security (beyond the 128-bit SSL) to encrypt your Password/PIN before it is transmitted to the Bank. Without being Java-enabled or having a Virtual Machine (VM) installed in your browser, the applet will not work and you will not be able to login to UOB Business Internet Banking.

 


Technical Requirements
Q17. How do I know if my browser has VM installed?
 

Check that your browser settings comply with the recommendations in Q15. If VM is not installed in your system, you will be prompted with an error message when you attempt to login to UOB Business Internet Banking.

 


Technical Requirements
Q18. What must I do to install VM on my browser?
 

Most browsers from Microsoft come automatically Java-enabled. However, some of the later versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (particularly with Windows XP) do not.
The latest java plug-in can be downloaded directly from http://www.java.com/en/download/download_the_latest.jsp

While the Bank has taken steps to keep your company's account and transactional information secure, you also play a major role in maintaining the security of such information. You should memorise your Company ID / User ID and Password and never write them down or reveal them to anyone.

 
 

To further protect your company's account and transactional information while banking via UOB Business Internet Banking, you can do the following:

 
  Change your Password when you access UOB Business Internet Banking for the first time (the system will enforce password change upon your first logon). We recommend that you change your Password regularly as an added security measure.

 
  Clear the browser's cache after each session in UOB Business Internet Banking so that details of your transactions are removed.

 
  Always log out properly after you have completed your online banking activities.
