At UBS, our top priorities are ensuring that you data is secure and that our services are functioning as they should. If you use operating systems or browser versions that are no longer tested or supported, UBS may consider them to be potential security risks and inform you of this.
Why are outdated operating systems and Internet browsers considered a security risk?
Manufacturers do not continue to update outdated operating systems (e.g. Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows 98) or browser versions (e.g.Internet Explorer Version 9 and older). This causes gaps in security and poses a risk for your computer and your data.
Therefore we recommend updating your computer's Internet browser and operating system as quickly as possible. Please observe the following requirements:
Supported browser versions

- Note the last 5 digits of the number of your Access Card or Access Card Display (can be found on the front page in the lower left-hand corner)

- Transfer the generated security code to the Access app
- Give your smartphone a name
- Specify a PIN for the Access app

- E-Banking or Connect contract (valid "UBS Online Services declaration")
- Access Card with card reader or Access Card Display (Access Card with Access Key does not work)

Security
Security
UBS relies on a unique system that requires personal identification details: agreement number, personal identification number (PIN) and Access Card.
The challenge-response authorization method is used for logging into UBS Online Services – UBS E-Banking and UBS Mobile Banking. A new access code is generated for each login and is only valid for a short period of time. Your access data are protected on your Access Card and cannot be seen by third parties.
Thanks to this secure identification system, you enjoy special protection as a client of UBS Online Services.
When entering a payment to a new beneficiary, an additional check is carried out to prevent payments from being manipulated by criminals. At the moment, this can only be done in UBS E-Banking.
Confirming beneficiaries is an additional security solution for online payment transactions that prevents payments from being manipulated by criminals. Fraudulent actions usually target the actual bank client or the personal computer, whose security UBS cannot influence.
Consequently, it is important to always keep the following security information handy:
As a general rule, if you consider a situation to be unusual, refuse to disclose your personal security details or to use the Access Card and card reader. In such a case, contact the Support as soon as possible
