Some AIB customers unable to install security update on devices

Some AIB customers have experienced problems when attempting to install a new layer of security designed for those using online or mobile banking.

In recent days, customers were sent a message on their mobile devices saying: “To make payments you now need to update your security. This will make mobile and online banking even safer.”

But in a number of cases the update to the app is not possible because the process fails.

AIB said the issue is not widespread.

A spokesman for the bank said: “The issue seems to lie in registering a secure connection between the bank and a mobile phone.”

The spokesman said the bank had not received a level of complaints that would indicate the issue was widespread. He said anyone affected should phone the bank’s technical support team.
