Yes, you will need to turn on notifications for FAB Mobile. This will not only allow you to authorise your online banking transactions, but will also ensure you receive important account related information, alerts, reminders and customised offers.
A liveness check is a highly specialised security feature that captures your biometric details accurately through a video selfie. This means no fraudster can use a photo, video or mask to deceive or bypass facial recognition systems and gain unauthorised access to your accounts or data. You only need to do this ONCE when you register on FAB Mobile for the first time.

To ensure your video selfie is registered effectively, you will be prompted on the screen. But here are certain guidelines to follow:
1- Center your face and look straight ahead
2- Maintain a neutral expression, no smiling
3- Ensure even lighting, no glare or extreme lighting
Online shopping transactions will continue to use OTP for now. But we will let you know as soon as that changes.
