Is the service secure?
Yes, your mobile phone offers the same online security features currently
in place for Arab Bank Online Banking Service on the computer. 128-bit
encryption, the highest encryption commercially available, is used for all
communications and financial transactions to protect the information you
send through our network. It also protects the information sent to you.
For security reasons, you should make sure not to reveal your password to
anyone else.

Relax--you don't have to worry about eavesdroppers anymore. Talking on your
mobile phone could be more secure than ever, with a specially modified
phone that encrypts conversations.
Now available worldwide, the TopSec GSM phone offers business executives,
government officials, and law enforcement officers the ability to talk via
a secure connection even while on the move. The company is marketing it at
a list price of $2742.
Based on Siemens's popular S35i GSM (Global System for Mobile
Communications) handset, the phone is modified with a so-called
"crypto-chip," according to spokesperson Stefan B�ttinger of the German
communications security company Rohde & Schwarz.
