• What steps should I take regarding the collection of my data?

  Step 1: Check your contact information

  You need to ensure that your registered mobile number and/or email are correct and if necessary update them through the 1bank Internet or Mobile Banking (Digipass is required) or by visiting one of our Branches, before proceeding to step 2.

   

  Step 2: Answer the questions

  You will be shown twelve (12) questions, in two groups. You will need to respond to two (2) questions from Group A and two (2) questions from Group B.

   

  Important tips about your answers:

  • Group A includes questions that require a single-word response. Alphanumeric characters are accepted in your response (i.e. both alphabetic characters and/or numbers are acceptable)
  • Group B includes questions that require numeric responses only. You need to respond with a number without decimals.
  • In general, your responses should be a maximum of 35 characters, without spaces and/or special symbols.
  • You may respond in Greek, English, Russian or Chinese.
  • It's important that you remember your answers and the language used.

   

  Step 3: Select a verification method

  You'll need to choose a method for verifying your responses. There are three available methods to choose from. Each method is available subject to the below conditions, shown in parentheses:

   

  • Verify using Digipass One Time Password (provided that you own an active Digipass).
  • Verify using a Verification Code sent to an email (provided that you have a registered and valid email with the Bank).
  • Verify using a Verification Code to be sent to your mobile number (provided that you have a registered valid mobile number with the Bank).

   

  Step 4: Confirmation

  You'll need to review your responses and chosen verification method. Click the “Confirm” button to complete the procedure or select the “Back” button to make any updates you wish.

• What if I forget my answers?

  If you want to update your responses to the “Security Questions”, either because you have forgotten them or because you prefer to provide other responses, you may contact the 1bank Call Centre to RESET your responses.

   

  You can also RESET the responses to the Security Questions on your own, through our Internet & Mobile Banking. This is available under the option menu “Settings” and provided that you own an active Digipass.

  Once RESET is complete, you will be required to repeat Steps 1 to 4 as described above.
