CIMB to require biometrics or passcode for online transactions from Sept 19

thestar.com.my

CIMB customers must verify online transactions using biometrics or a device passcode starting Sept 19. This applies to payments via CIMB Clicks Web and merchant sites, with approval through SecureTAC on the CIMB Octo App. The bank stated the change strengthens security against unauthorised access and fraud, replacing password-based approval. Verification uses facial recognition, fingerprint, or passcode; transactions fail if these are not set up, prompting an error message to configure them. CIMB’s FAQ notes password approval will no longer be supported. Customers can find setup instructions and further details on the official CIMB website.
