Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is a process involving two layers of identity verification. 2FA is an efficient means to drastically reduce occurrences of unauthorised access to your FSM Global account. Besides knowledge of your login ID, and your pre-determined password, the second layer of verification involves a possession factor – a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number, registered email or retrieved from a 2FA authentication device, which is in your possession.

Placing the 2FA at login ensures that all your personal and financial information held with FSM Global is only available after you have sufficiently verified your identity.

The second factor used by FSM Global will be a One-Time Password (OTP) upon login. Investors who have used internet banking whether with the local banks (DBS, UOB, OCBC) or their overseas counterparts will not be unfamiliar with this process. The OTP can be obtained in 3 ways either via SMS text message, a Digital Token or Email. At each and every login to your FSM Global account, you will be required to enter an additional OTP which is unique and randomly generated. This OTP will be the second factor used to verify your identity and allow access to your account.

Do note that the sending and delivery of SMS text messages may be setup differently by the various mobile service providers in each country.

If you are still unable to receive your SMS OTP at your current mobile number registered with us, it could be due to the following reasons:
