What is a Personal Assurance Message (PAM)?
Your Personal Assurance Message is a message that will appear on a BankSA screen during your secure Internet shopping transaction. It’s your way of knowing, before you enter your password, that the Internet site has connected to the Bank and the transaction is secure. The first PAM you see will read “Welcome to Secure Shopping”. You should personalise your PAM as soon as possible to identify it as your own. Your PAM is not another password for you to remember. It should be an easily recognisable name or sentence like your favourite movie or your pet’s name. Your PAM can be any message with 6-30 alphanumeric characters. Remember not to include your Internet Banking password in any form!
