Why you need security tokens

To access secure features in CommBiz like authorising transactions or changing settings, you need a CommBiz Security Token.

There are two types of tokens:

  • eToken
  • GO3

You won’t need a token if you have permission to View only or View and create.

Types of security tokens

eToken

  • Built into the CommBiz app
  • Generates a unique one time password
  • Needs to be registered and is unique to each user
  • Not able to use eToken and a physical token at the same time

GO3

  • Simple to use
  • Generates one unique one time password
  • Unique to each user
  • Physical device
