Using Digital Secure Key

Generating and using Digital Secure Key codes

To access online banking, and validate certain transactions inside online banking you’ll need to generate a Secure Key code.

If you haven’t yet activated your Digital Secure Key, you should do that first. Once you’ve activated the mobile app, your physical Secure Key will stop working. You can continue to use your Digital Secure Key through your mobile app. Make sure the time setting on your device is set to 'Auto' so the Digital Secure Key works.

Log on to online banking with Digital Secure Key

1. Launch the HSBC Bermuda app (you need to have activated your Digital Secure Key). Select ‘Generate a code’ from the bottom of the screen.

2. Select ‘Log on to online banking’ from the available options.

3. Enter your 6-digit PIN (or use biometrics if enabled on your device). As a security measure, an incorrect PIN will generate an invalid security code.

4. Your security code will be displayed. Enter the security code on the online banking logon page.

Verify transactions with Digital Secure Key

1. Launch the HSBC Bermuda app (you need to have activated your Digital Secure Key). Select ‘Generate a code’ from the bottom of the screen.

4. Enter your 6-digit PIN (or use biometrics if enabled on your device). As a security measure, an incorrect PIN will generate an invalid security code.

5. Your security code will be displayed. Use the security code to verify your transaction in online banking.
