Not Receiving Push Notifications and/or OTPs

 

 

Not Receiving Push Notifications (Smart inContact)

  • ​If you have a new device and you have not linked it to your profile – you will not receive Smart inContact notifications on your new device.

 

 

If you do not have a new device and you are not receiving Smart inContact notifications, please do the following checks

  • Check that the Banking App is on the latest version

  • Check the phone settings: “Allow Notifications” on the App

  • Check connectivity (Data /WiFi) - either one should be on

 

 

Not receiving OTPs

  • If you have a new cellphone number and you have not updated it on your banking profile, you will not receive OTPs on the new number

  • You will not receive OTPs if you have a linked Banking App; authorisations for transactions will be sent to your device as a Push Notification via the Banking App (Smart inContact).

 

 

 

Linking a New Device

  • If you are linking a new device, select Allow when permissions are presented in the process.

  • This will enable verification of the device to begin; if all checks are completed successfully, this may result in instant verification and full banking functionality (limits)

  • You will also need access to your OTP number in order to complete the linking process – ensure that this is updated to your current number.

 

 

Linking the Banking App to a New Device

  • If you have a new phone and have linked the Banking App to your new phone, you will only receive Smart inContact notifications once your new phone is verified

 

 

Verify My Device

  • You can verify your device on Linking using the Selfie option.

  • You can also verify a device during certain high risk transactions using QR code or Geo Locate

  • Alternatively, you will need to do a financial transaction of R301 or more and wait 7 calendar days.
