7.9 You may be responsible for unauthorized payments made from your accounts if you have not kept your mobile device and your security details safe and follow the security precautions that we advise you to undertake from time to time including those set out in this Clause 7, or if the biometric credentials stored on your device are not your own in the event that you have activated such authentication method on the device and on the Mobile Banking app.
