SMS security

SMS security is a free and convenient service to provide an extra level of security on external transactions such as:

  • Funds transfers out of your own accounts to other financial institutions
  • Funds transfers out of your own accounts to other NAB accounts not linked to you
  • BPAY Bill payments to a biller where the money can then be withdrawn (such as a credit card).

The way it works is simple!

Whenever you transfer funds or pay a bill using NAB Internet Banking, we'll instantly SMS your mobile phone a unique security code to confirm your transaction. Just enter the code and you're done.

So even if your ID and password fall into the wrong hands, funds cannot be transferred without your approval. With a whole extra layer of protection, you can bank online with extra peace of mind.

Quick, easy and free to use - SMS security is just one of the ways we are protecting you.

To register call 1300 651 656* or contact your banker.

*8am to 9pm EST Monday to Friday and 9am to 6pm EST Saturday and Sunday. Select option 1 after entering your NAB ID and Telephone Banking password.
