By pairing your mobile device via this app, you add an essential extra layer of protection against fraud and unauthorized access.

Starting August 2019, EBS requires users to provide additional security details alongside their usual login credentials. This extension guides you through setting up the app using a one-time activation code sent by post, ensuring a smooth and secure login experience. Simply download, enter your Customer ID and Personal Access Code (PAC), then input the six-digit activation code to start using EBS Your Accounts Online safely and confidently.

User Reviews

Users broadly report that EBS Authenticator is essential for accessing EBS online banking but is plagued by reliability and usability problems. The push notifications frequently fail to arrive, OTPs can be delayed or missing, and logins time out or require many attempts. Pairing the paired device is unstable and often has to be redone. The overall UX is described as slow, overcomplicated, and frustrating, with some reports of root-detection blocking access and excessive permissions. A few users note minor improvements like beneficiary online management, but the app remains a major pain point for most customers.

Pros

Essential for logging into EBS online banking; the app provides the required 2FA/authenticator.
Generates one-time passwords (OTPs) for authentication when the notification works.
Widely used as the available authentication method for EBS (i.e., customers rely on it to access services).

Cons

Push/notification delivery is unreliable; notifications often do not arrive or time out, blocking login.
Login process is slow, unreliable, and frequently fails with endless 'authenticating' screens or timeouts.
Device pairing is unstable; users must re-pair or are logged out and blocked on every other login.
UX is overly complex and clunky; described as slow and frustrating.
Rooted-device detection and broad permissions can cause login failures or raise privacy concerns.

Recent reviews

Often tells you they have sent a notification which doesn't arrive. Sometimes when you click on the notification straight away it times you out. There is zero incentive for it to be better since you have to use it to login. As the only game in town for EBS customers, we're stuck with this glitchy app.

Dreadful. On many occasions I have failed to receive the authenticator on my phone and this can happen on multiple occasions in a row. Very frustrating. I have accounts with other banks and have never had a problem.
