Things you should know
When sending money to someone for the first time through online banking and the HSBC UAE app, to keep you safe we will ask you to authorise the transaction by generating a one-time transaction code on your Secure Key. This is a security step that verifies your credentials. It also increases security against possible fraud attacks which can be potentially caused by malware.
