How AXS Protects You
AXS uses industry-leading secure technology and protocols to ensure your payment transaction and information are safe, whenever you transact on AXS m-Station (Mobile Payment Portal).
- 128-bit Extended Validated Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Our online payment site is kept secure by a 128-bit Extended Validated Secure Socket Layer (SSL). All information that you enter on the site will be protected and kept confidential under SSL.
For payment, we follow the industry standard of authentication - your Bank’s User ID/PIN and 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) token/SMS OTP for eNets transaction or User Login for PayPal transaction.
The billing information and payment records that you choose to store in your local mobile/tablet device is kept secured by the passcode you have set-up. Passcode length is from 6 to 12 numbers. Your information and records are encrypted by 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
The Passcode is only known to you. If the Passcode is forgotten, the billing and payment information stored in your mobile/tablet device is not recoverable.

Mobile Transaction
- Take extra care in guarding your mobile/tablet device. It’s more prone to getting misplaced than your computer.
- If the function is available, turn on the password function in your mobile/tablet device and make sure that you use a strong one. This function protects your mobile/tablet device so that no one can use it.
- Most mobile/tablet devices or smart phones have an “Erase Data” function. If your mobile/tablet device has this, always turn it on. This function erases all your data after several invalid password attempts, so your data will not be compromised if your mobile/tablet device is lost.
