What is the InterSwitch Safetoken Service?
This is a system that generates a 6-8 digit One-Time-Password (OTP) whenever a transaction is initiated via the InterSwitch Web Payment Platform.
The customer’s card would have been previously linked to his phone number for him/her to utilize this service. At the point of initiating a transaction, the customer may receive an OTP via hardware/software devices, grid cards or SMS and then he is required to input this OTP on the web payment platform in order to complete the payment.
Why can I carry out some transactions without an OTP?
Not all transactions today require an OTP. You are prompted to input an OTP only for transactions the bank considers to be high risk such as instant value transactions.
