Internet Banking FAQs



I use Internet Explorer 7 and can’t see the security padlock on NAB Internet Banking. Where is it?
In Internet Explorer version 6 and earlier the padlock displayed to allow users to confirm they have established a secure connection with a website was located at the bottom right of the browser window.

With the recent upgrade by Internet Explorer to version 7, this padlock has been moved and is now displayed next to the address bar of the browser and is hidden when accessing NAB Internet Banking.

Customers should always confirm they are transacting over a secure connection when using NAB Internet Banking and customers using Internet Explorer 7 can continue to do this by pressing the F11 key when on the NAB Internet Banking login screen. A padlock image (as per below) should be present to validate that a secure connection has been established.



Further information about confirming the validity of security certificates and general security information can be found on this page and through our security section.

What security measures has NAB put in place?
Security for communications and transactions over the Internet is important for both NAB and our customers, and we'd like to let you know that the NAB Internet Banking security system has been selected by our data security experts following extensive research.

Encryption of information between the customer and NAB is provided by industry standard 128-bit SSL encryption technology. This is the current security standard utilised by most banks in Australia in connection with their internet banking customers.

In addition to our sophisticated cryptographic implementation, robust firewall technology is employed to help to protect NAB's internal systems and customers’ information against intrusion from the Internet.

For greater security NAB Internet Banking has the facility to allow you to voluntarily lock your password when logging out from the application. NAB Internet Banking cannot be accessed again until your Internet Banking password is unlocked. To unlock your Internet Banking Password you need to call l 1300 651 656 and enter your Telephone Banking Password when prompted.

NAB has introduced these measures to help provide a secure environment for you to complete your banking. Find out more.
