THIRD-PARTY LINKS

SECURITY

8.1. PIN Access

 

National Savings is dedicated to regularly reviewing and updating the privacy requirements as needed. If you have any concerns regarding the above information, please do not hesitate to contact us using the provided email address.

 

The primary security feature of the Service involves a Six (6) digit PIN. This PIN is used to authenticate and authorize transaction requests from your Registered Login/Account. Additionally, for certain transactions, you will receive a unique transaction reference number and passcode.

 

It is crucial to ensure the security of your PIN and avoid selecting easily guessable combinations, such as six (6) identical numbers or sequential numbers like 123456.

Under no circumstances should you store your PIN (or passcode) on your Branchless handset. If your handset automatically stores this information, it is your responsibility to delete it. This precaution ensures that unauthorized individuals cannot make transactions using your Registered Login/Account, as they would require your PIN and/or passcode for authorization.

 

You alone are accountable for keeping your PIN and passcode (if applicable) secure and must not disclose them to anyone. In addition to the Login Pin, a Financial Pin is also generated by you as user which should also be safeguarded by you at all times.

 

If someone gains access to your Login PIN/passcode and/or Financial Pin/passcode along with the SIM card associated with your Registered Login/Account, it will be assumed that person is you. In such a scenario, any transactions authorized by this individual will be considered legitimate and acted upon. You will be held liable for any transactions processed during this period until you notify us to suspend or block the Service.

Only transactions initiated from the Registered Login/Account will be considered legitimate and processed accordingly.

 

National Savings will never ask you to provide your clear Login or Financial Pin via SMS/Email or any Call Center. Never send your PIN and/or passcode via SMS, including to us. When authorizing a transaction, please follow the instructions sent to you via SMS to ensure successful completion of the transaction.Top of Form

 

 

DISCLAIMER

Please note that this Policy solely addresses our data collection, processing, and protection practices. It does not cover the privacy policies or practices of third-party services, websites, or applications that you may access through links within our App. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you visit.

 

Although we take significant measures to protect your personal information, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is entirely secure. We do not guarantee absolute data security. Therefore, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot warrant or guarantee its security.

 

Moreover, this Policy does not constitute any form of legal advice. If you have specific legal concerns or require legal advice regarding data privacy or any related matter, we recommend consulting with legal counsel.

 

By using our App and Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and agree to be bound by its terms. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Policy, please refrain from accessing or using our App and Services.
