FAQ - Online and Mobile

How is customer data protected on mobile applications?

All data exchanged between Mobile Web Banking and Mobile Banking Apps with Queensborough is protected in transit using SSL. In Mobile Web Banking, no customer information is stored or cached on the device. Mobile Banking Apps use the device’s secure storage to host sensitive data.

What controls are used to prevent unauthorized access to our customers’ accounts in Mobile Web Banking and Mobile Banking Apps?

Mobile Web Banking and QNBT Mobile Banking use out-of-band multifactor authentication to authenticate users at login. QNBT also employs biometric authentication to mobile devices through Touch ID.

How is Online Banking information (including login credentials) kept secure?

Mobile Web Banking does not store any information in the user’s device or the Web browser cache. Mobile Banking Apps use the device’s secure storage to host sensitive data. All data is securely transmitted to Digital Insight servers using SSL.

Does the Bank use browser cookies and device identification on the mobile channel?

Yes. Mobile Web Banking uses cookies to fingerprint mobile devices. This feature reduces the threat of having a banking session hijacked and manipulated by attackers.
