Three Ways to Verify Your Transactions
A standout security feature of UnionMobile is its flexibility in how you authorize transactions — choose whichever suits you:
1. Self-selected PIN — set during registration
2. SMS token — a one-time code sent to your registered phone
3. Hardware token — a physical device obtainable from any Union Bank branch
This gives you more verification options than many competing apps, which often default to just one method.
Using Cardless Withdrawal
1. Initiate a Cardless Withdrawal within the app.
2. Choose whether you're withdrawing for yourself or a beneficiary.
3. Generate the one-time code as prompted.
4. The beneficiary enters this code at any Union Bank ATM to complete the withdrawal — without ever needing a physical card.
This is especially useful for sending emergency cash to someone without a Union Bank account or card of their own.
