Introduction
To further protect your Internet Banking, Elders Rural Bank is introducing a new Security Token.
A Security Token provides an extra level of protection for your Internet Banking. It looks like a keyring with a digital number display (see pictures below). At the press of a button, it generates a six-digit number called an Authentication Key.
Even if a thief obtains your Access ID and PIN, they will need to have an Authentication Key generated by your Security Token in order to access your accounts.
To order a security token for use in Internet Banking, choose the Customer Services category from the top navigation menu and click the Security options item in the side navigation menu. Alternatively you can click on the Order token now? Hyperlink on the account balances screen and you will be directed straight to the Order token screen.
There are various activation options available for the token which will allow you to assign the level of protection you require. For further details please refer to the Activate Token Help screen.

Q.What do I do if I already have a Security Token? -
A. If you have already purchased a Security Token, there is no need to enter the Authentication Key on the Logon screen until you have activated your Token for Logon. To do this simply logon to Internet Banking (without entering the Authentication Key) and then go to the Activate Token tab which can be found under Customer Services - Security Options. Alternatively, you can select the ‘Activate token’ link from the Account Balances screen which will direct you straight to the activate screen. To attach your Security Token to services (including Logon), select the corresponding tick box, enter a valid Authentication Key and then click the Activate button.
Once the service has been activated you will need to enter an Authentication Key every time you access this service. You will not be able to de-activate the use of your Security Token for a service, this will only be possible by calling Elders Rural Bank on 1300 651 839.

Q.Why do I need a Security Token? -
A. Like any other form of banking transaction, Internet Banking is
a target for criminals. One method used by criminals is to
download a “Key Logger” virus on to your computer
that records your keystrokes (eg. your banking Access ID and
PIN) and then transmits them back to the criminals. (For more
information on this and general Internet Banking security please click
here.)
Using a Security Token to generate a unique “One-Time” Authentication
Key improves your Internet Banking security. Even if criminals capture
your Access ID and PIN, your Internet Banking cannot be accessed without
your Security Token.

Q.What is a Security Token? –
A. A Security Token is a small digital Authentication Key
generator. A Security Token generates a “one-time” Authentication
Key that changes with every use. The device uses Greenwich
Mean Time so that it works anywhere in the world.
Below are examples of the two types of Security Token available:
Vasco One Touch Security Token |
Vasco Professional Security Token |
|
|
Top
Q. What is the difference between the 2 Security Tokens? –
A. The difference between the 2 Security Tokens available
is as follows:
Vasco One Touch Security Token:
The Vasco One Touch Security Token is small (Key ring size),
compact, durable and light with a simple “One Touch” operation.
By pressing the button to the left of the screen, this will
display a One Time Authentication Key. This is beneficial for
personal customers as it is extremely convenient, yet still
offers a high level of additional security. Life expectancy:
5 years
Vasco Professional Security Token: The Keypad
located on the front of the Security Token offers another level
of Security before you attempt to access your Internet Banking session.
This is done through the use of a separate PIN that must be
entered into the Security Token keypad before the Authentication
Key will be displayed. This extra Security option is beneficial
to Business Customers who may have their Security Token in
the Office and do not want other staff to be able to access
it. Life expectancy: 10 years
