Data security

Security is our primary concern. We are committed to ensuring that your personal data are protected from unauthorized or accidental access, processing or removal. To ensure the safety of your personal data, we take appropriate measures in terms of facilities, electronic systems and management.

The security area of the website uses the 128 - bit transport layer security protocol encryption (Transport Layer Security (TLS)), which is the safest standard for the industry to encrypt data on the Internet. When you provide important information to our bank, it will be automatically converted into code, and then it will be safely transmitted over the Internet.

The server of this website is protected by a "firewall" and the bank constantly monitors its own system to prevent unauthorized access by anyone.

The Bank will not transmit personal data to you by ordinary e-mail. As there is no guarantee of the security of ordinary e-mail, you should only use the security e-mail facilities provided by this website to send e-mail to us.

The bank will take all practical steps to ensure that your personal information will not be retained beyond the necessary time, and the bank will also comply with all the laws and regulations concerning the preservation of personal data in the Macao Special Administrative Region.


Security guarantee

You have the same important responsibility as our bank in preventing online fraud.

We will try our best to maintain a high level of safety standards to protect your interests.

You should ensure that your bank account information (including your username and password) is not leaked. You should ensure that you do not intentionally or unintentionally share, hand over or allow unauthorized persons to use such information. Do not let others know your username and password, and do not let others obtain or use such information.

You should keep your username and password confidential. Do not write down this information. Since you are the only person who knows the password, we will never ask you to provide it.

When you choose your own username and password, do not use information that is easy to guess, such as your birthday, phone number, or name combination.

If you believe that the name or password of its own user has been leaked, lost or stolen from third parties, and that your residence may have been unauthorized, you have the responsibility to notify the bank immediately.

Although the opportunity is very small, if an unauthorized transaction is found in your account, the Bank protects you from direct loss as long as it is not a fraud, error or negligence, and the maximum amount of guarantee is the total amount of the unauthorized transaction.
