At SBM, we are committed to make your online banking experience as secure as
possible. We have adopted several measures and security standards to enhance the
security of your funds and protection of your account. SBM uses 256-bit SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer) encryption which is the highest level of encryption for information
currently available for internet banking. Moreover, each user has a unique User ID and
passwords (login and Transaction passwords).
As an additional security measure, you will automatically be logged out if your session
remains inactive for 15 minutes. You should always close your Internet Banking session
when you have finished.

1.7 Data protection while being transmitted to the Bank

SBM Bank (Mauritius) Ltd. uses Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) for secured
transmissions. SSL applies encryption between two communicating applications, such
as your PC and our Internet server. When your data is transmitted over the Internet, it is
encrypted at the sending end and then decrypted at the receiving end. We use 256-bit
encryption, since this is the best technology available currently on the market.
