6) How can I login to Lombard IB Service?
You will need to input your Login ID followed by the Security Code generated by the hardware security token (device provided by the Bank) or by the software security token (on your mobile).
7) What is the difference between a Hardware and a Software token?
Both tokens are used to generate a Security Code which together with your Login ID you may use to access the Lombard Internet Banking services. A hardware token is a physical device provided by the Bank, while a software token is an app downloaded and enabled on your Adnroid or iOS mobile phone.
8) Which is the best of the hardware and software token?
Both tokens have the highest level of security technology and they both create one time use Security Codes. The software token is integrated with your mobile phone so you do not have to carry another device to access Internet Banking. Issue of a software token is instantaneous – by simply downloading the Lombard Bank Mobile app from Google Play Store and iOS App Store. Customers may choose one or the other based on individual circumstances and preferences.
9) How do I generate a Security Code Using a Hard Token?
Switch on your Security Token by pressing continuously the arrow key whilst pressing the padlock key once. Key in the four digit Token PIN. Press ‘1’ when APPLI is displayed on the Token dial. The Token will generate a six digit ‘Security Code’. To go back to APPLI, press the arrow key again. From APPLI press ‘1’ to generate another ‘Security Code’ as required. You can switch off the Token by pressing the arrow key once whilst the display is on APPLI. Please read our Lombard Internet Banking Security Token Operating Instructions for further important information concerning your Security Token.
10) How do I generate a Security Code using a software token?
Setup your soft token using the Login ID and ‘Lombard Mobile Token’ app on your mobile phone using the ‘Soft Token Operating Instruction’ manual. Access your mobile app and press ‘One Time password/APPLI 1’. The application will ask you for your authorisation code or your biometric depending on your setup. A six-digit code is generated and you will need to input this code on your Internet Banking logon screen. To authenticate financial transactions, you will need to press the second option on our mobile application ‘Challenge Signature/APPLI 2’. This will generate a Security Code which you will input on your Internet Banking transaction screen.
