the
first level authentication to confirm your identity and to ensure the privacy of your Internet &
Mobile Banking session.
2. Secret Word for Genuine Site Verification
Before you enter your password, you will see your Secret Word. Secret Word is a mutual
authentication used by RHB to verify that the login page is from a genuine RHB site. You will be
asked to register your Secret Word when you first register to use RHB Now. Thereafter, your
Secret
Word will appear on your Internet or Mobile Banking whenever you login. Always check that the
Secret
Word is the same as the one you have registered.

As the name depicts, OTP is only valid for one transaction. This is the second level protection
to authenticate your transaction. It will be sent together with Security Code via SMS to your
registered mobile number. It is given randomly in alphanumeric code. No one can determine what
OTP number to be generated.
Reminder: You have to make sure that the Security Code displayed on the Confirmation page of your transaction is an exact match with the Security Code sent via SMS before entering your OTP to complete the transaction.
