Why do you need a Physical Security Key (PSK)?
Regulations have been introduced that affect how we access online and mobile banking. These laws will help fight fraud and make you even more secure online. When you access online banking now, you will need to use a “security device”. This can be a PSK or the Bank of Ireland banking app on your smartphone or tablet. We recommend you use a smartphone or tablet. It’s easier, faster and just as secure as using a PSK.
