Awkward but as a form of MFA it’s reliable, secure, and does the job.

You can switch to other forms of MFA, including biometrics.
I have the reader and I’m keeping it, because it’s simple, reliable, and absolutely bulletproof from a security point of view.

You can even verify by post.

My wife lost her little reader thing.
She keeps her card in my wallet because I still carry a wallet.
She pays for everything with her phone.
I tell her it’s a dangerous game the day some transaction needs to be verified haha

Yes. Because you are still bent over with butt cheeks spread for that shambles of a bank.
Even my grandparents had the sense to leave them after banking with them most of their lives.

uhh yeah? These are standard across most banks.
Now more than ever, security is something that has to be taken seriously.

Partially unrelated with this topic. AIB is collecting your biometric (aka face scan) photo when using the app as replacement of the card reader. So it’s not on demand check on app side, your photo gets uploaded to AIB

I moved to online banks, N26 and Revolut, both miles ahead of any of the old school banks, never looked back.
I never use cash anyway, can’t even remember the last time, it has been multiple years.
I do have a free AIB account still, but the free one banks must offer these days, just so in the extremely rare case I get cash somewhere and want to put it in the bank, so I funnel it through AIB. Did that exactly once, 3 years or so ago. Since the account is free, no harm keeping it for that, but would not pay for it.

They have multiple options. If you don’t want to use this one, switch to one of the others.

It is not. That’s why they have the app.
