Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What has changed on the mobile app?
We have enhanced the security of transactions on our mobile app. Depending on the value of your transaction, additional authentication steps may be required to better protect your account.
Do I need to memorise the new authentication rules?
No. The mobile app will automatically guide you through the required authentication steps for each transaction.
Why am I being asked for more than just my PIN?
For higher-value transactions, additional verification (such as OTP, Token, or Biometrics) is required to provide extra protection and prevent unauthorised access to your account.
What authentication methods are used?
You may be asked to use one or more of the following:
• PIN
• OTP (One-Time Password sent to your registered phone number)
• Token (Secure Pass app)
• Biometrics (Fingerprint or Face ID, if enabled on your device)
What is the Token (Secure Pass)?
The Token (Secure Pass) is a secure mobile application that generates authentication codes required to complete certain transactions, especially higher-value transfers.
Do I need the Token to complete transactions?
Yes, for certain transaction amounts (particularly higher-value transfers), the Token is required as part of the authentication process.
How do I set up the Token (Secure Pass)?
To set up your Token:
1. Download UBA Secure Pass from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
2. Open the app and enter your Internet Banking User ID
3. Select your account country
4. Enter the OTP sent to your registered phone number
5. Follow the prompts to install and activate your Token
6. Create your passcode
Your Token will then be ready for use.
Why is my transaction not going through?
This may happen if:
• The required authentication method (e.g., Token) is not set up
• OTP is incorrect or delayed
• Biometrics is not enabled on your device
Please ensure all required authentication methods are properly set up.
I am not receiving my OTP. What should I do?
• Check your network connection
• Confirm your registered phone number is active
• Wait a few seconds and try again
• If the issue persists, please contact our support team
Can I use biometrics instead of OTP or Token?
Yes, for eligible transactions, you can use biometrics (Fingerprint or Face ID) if your device supports it and it is enabled on your mobile app.
Why are different authentication methods required for different transaction amounts?
Higher transaction amounts carry higher risk, so additional layers of security are applied to ensure your funds remain protected.
New authentication requirements
| Transaction Amount | Authentication Options |
|---|---|
| Up to ₦200,000 | PIN or Token |
| Above ₦200,000 – ₦250,000 | PIN + OTP or PIN + Biometric or PIN + Token |
| Above ₦250,000 – ₦500,000 | PIN + OTP or PIN + Token |
| Above ₦500,000 – ₦10,000,000 | PIN + Token |
| Above ₦10,000,000 | PIN + Token + Biometric |
Can I still make transfers using other channels?

• Internet Banking
• USSD: *919#
• Leo (WhatsApp): +234 903 001 0007
• ATMs & POS terminals
• Cards for payments and withdrawals
