What is One Time Password (OTP)?


OTP is a 6 figure numeric code sent to customers on their registered mobile number.
One Time Password (OTP) has been introduced as an additional security feature by
„MCB Bank‟ to protect customer‟s account(s). OTP is confidential and should not be
shared with anyone, even if the person claims to be an MCB Bank official. Please
ensure that your mobile number is updated with us to be able to authenticate your login.

What is the advantage of having an authentication mechanism through OTP for


Login?
The advantage of having an OTP authentication mechanism is that even if the
credentials (details) of the customer (like username, password, ATM pin etc.) are
compromised/ stolen, OTP authentication mechanism will ensure that any fraudulent/
unauthorized logins are not done through your MCB Mobile services.

Why does the customer need to enter OTP for Logging in?
This is an additional authentication required for logging in. With this added security
feature, the customer can have a greater peace of mind knowing that without inputting
the OTP, login activity will not be completed.

When will the customer need to enter OTP?


The customer will need to enter the OTP every single time he/she want to log in to MCB
Mobile.
I am entering correct OTP but it still states incorrect?
If you have tried to log in multiple times, multiple OTPs will be generated. Every new
attempt will generate a new OTP. You will have to enter the latest OTP in order to log in
successfully.

What should I do if I do not receive OTP on my mobile number registered with


MCB Bank?
This may be due to the following reasons a) The mobile number registered for the use
of MCB Mobile is not your current mobile number or b) In case your registered mobile
number with the Bank is ported out, Please SMS MCB to 9460 to ensure receiving SMS
alerts from the Bank.

Can I use the same OTP multiple times?


No. OTP is a dynamic password and is valid for one time login. For security reasons,
each OTP can only be used for 1 login authentication only.

From where will I receive my OTP?


You will receive OTP from 6222 ONLY (MCB Bank's official SMS code).

Are there any charges for using the OTP?


The Bank does not charge customers for receiving OTP. This service is completely free.

What if the customer receives the message “Already logged in”?


If the customer receives such a message, the customer must wait for 5 minutes and
login again

What if the customer receives the message “Invalid OTP Reference”?


This message is displayed when the customer has entered invalid OTP. The customer
must use one of the two links labeled “Login” or “Logout” on the user interface in order
to go back to the Login Page. And remember, do not press the “Back” button or
“Refresh” button of the browser, since it will generate Exception 500 Error.

What if the customer receives the message “Exception 500 Error”?


If the customer receives the “Exception 500 Error”, the customer must re-enter the URL
(www.mcbmobile.com) in the address bar of the browser and login again.

What is auto-pick-up facility?


It is an additional feature of the MCB Mobile App specifically designed for the OTP. With
this feature the Mobile Banking App is able to take the OTP details from your SMS
inbox to “auto-pick-up/ auto-populate/ fill in” the OTP field at the time of login. This
feature creates convenience for the customer, as the customer will not have to manually
enter the OTP details, currently it is available on all Android based mobile phones
