JN Live Online Banking Two-factor Authentication FAQs

To protect you further JN Bank will be implementing two-factor authentication to access your JN Bank LIVE account. Two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA, is a security feature that provides you with more than one way to log into an application or online platform, or to conduct certain activities via the application or platform. In simple terms, it’s an added layer of security to protect you.

No, users will be required to do 2FA using the Google Authenticator app.

It is an independent application that adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts through a second step of verification when you sign in.
