BRAC Bank has strengthened the security of its Astha App by introducing a QR-based login system for its web platform. To access the Astha web platform, users now need to scan a QR code displayed on the web login page using the Astha App on their mobile device. Once scanned, the mobile app session automatically closes, and the user gains access to the web platform. This system enhances security by ensuring that accounts remain active on only one platform at a time. Additionally, BRAC Bank has enhanced the app’s security with a device binding feature which allows users to register only one device per account, adding an extra layer of security against unauthorized access. Users must verify their identity with a one-time password (OTP) when binding their account to a device. For those switching to a new device, the OTP verification is again required to ensure the secure binding of the new device with their account.
