Re: Online banking using a smartphone…

We know what each individual customer's typical usage pattern is. The vast majority just logon to look at their account balance and that's it.

I won't say what systems are in place but anything outside of your norm will not go unnoticed

You 100% do !! That’s the bank I was referring to. Of course you need to get one of your payments referred to the fraud team first to have to go through this. 99.9% of all payments don’t get referred.
