Yes. Biometric ID has the same level security as all authentication methods for Online and Mobile Banking.

Biometric ID is available for iOS and Android devices that have compatible Biometric ID support running Android 6.0 or higher. Compatible Android devices are those that are using Android’s fingerprint support. Specific devices from Manufacturers that have created their own Fingerprint supported devices and are not using Google’s built-in support for Android, are not compatible. Examples of known devices that are not supported are the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4. These devices use Samsung’s Fingerprint drivers, not Google’s Android.

No. You can use your Login ID and Password to sign in to Abington Bank Mobile and Online Banking.

Abington Bank does not collect your Biometric ID details, and cannot link it to the personal information we hold about you. Abington Bank is relying on the device to authenticate the Biometric ID and confirm or reject verification.

On the Abington Bank Mobile Banking App login screen, enter your password and then navigate to the Mobile Services menu > Service Center > Biometric ID> Biometric ID Enrollment. You will then be prompted to give your device a name (should be unique) along with providing your Abington Bank Online Banking Login ID and Password. Once all three fields are completed, select enroll. The next time you login to your Abington Bank mobile app, you will be prompted to use your Fingerprint/Face ID.

On the app’s login screen, a message will display prompting you to log in with your Biometric ID.

Abington Bank does not hold or store your Biometric ID. Your Biometric ID is stored on your device (as part of the user settings) when you set it up and we rely on the device to authenticate your fingerprint if you choose to use Biometric ID when accessing Mobile Banking.

Abington Bank does not collect or store your Biometric ID in any case. Your Biometric ID is stored on your device when you set up your fingerprint enabled device. Just like it is your responsibility to keep secure your Online Banking password, Biometric ID should be treated with the same level of security. This means that you must not have other people’s Biometric ID stored on your device if you would like to use this login option. However, if someone else’s Biometric ID is stored on your device and you enable fingerprint authentication, the second person will also have full access to your account.

Yes. You can still log on to the Abington Bank Mobile Banking app using your account username and password.

If your mobile device is lost or stolen you can delete a device at any time by logging onto your account from a PC or another device and selecting the Biometric ID Management screen. You can delete the lost/ stolen device from the list of devices currently authorized. In addition, anytime a new fingerprint is added to the device, re-enrollment is required so a lost device should not be able to access your account without your Biometric ID or account Login ID/ Password.

Please call our Customer Care at 877.380.BANK (2265) in the event your device is lost or stolen so we can reset your password as an added level of security.

Biometric ID can be disabled from a desktop or mobile device by clicking on the person icon in the upper right hand corner > Service Center > Biometric ID > Biometric ID Enrollment.

You will need to register your Biometric ID on the new device, and then re-enroll Biometric ID to access Mobile Banking using your fingerprint or face.

In some situations, Abington Bank may provide an additional level of security and ask you to verify your identity. This is another level of security for your protection.

For login assistance you can call Customer Care at 877.380.BANK (2265).

If you forgot your Password, click on the Forgot Password link located on Logins area at AbingtonBank.com or on the User ID and Password screen. You will then be asked to enter information to identify yourself and allowed to choose and confirm your new Password.

Samsung Pay provides owners of select Samsung Galaxy devices the ability to use their Galaxy phone to make payments almost anywhere you can swipe or tap your Abington Bank debit card.

Select Samsung Galaxy devices are equipped with Near Field communication technology (NFC) that transmits the tokenized version of the debit card payment credentials securely to a merchant terminal. In addition to NFC, Samsung Pay supports a new proprietary technology, Magnetic Secured Transmission (MST) which transmits the same secure tokenized debit card payment credentials. See below for more information about NFC and MST.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that allows two devices to exchange payment information quickly and conveniently at close proximity. Samsung Pay uses NFC technology to transmit payment information from your phone to the contactless payment terminal.

Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) replicates swiping a physical card at the payment terminal by securely sending payment information directly to the magnetic strip card reader without touching it. Samsung Pay uses NFC technology or MST to transmit payment information from your phone to the contactless payment terminal.

Samsung Pay can be used almost anywhere you can use a credit card to make purchases, or wherever contactless payments are accepted. Plastic cards may need to be used where contactless payments are not accepted (Ex. Gas Station Pumps).

The availability will vary by mobile network operator. The app will appear when customers install the most up to date operating system. Samsung Pay will be a preloaded app on upcoming Samsung devices. The app is not available for download on unsupported devices.
