IV. First-time Login
Depending on the settings of your computer you might be asked to download add-ons or change settings, before you reach our login page. More information about this you can read below at user information. We will continue now with the procedure for first time login.

If you came to our office and applied for Internet Banking, you were asked to enter a 6 digit password. This password you can use only one time, as the system will force you to change the password into a new password with a combination of case sensitive letters, numbers, etc. Also the ID number, which you used to open the account, will be asked at first time login.

After you have logged in with your 19 digit account number and password, you are offered the possibility to create your own username. You can also deny the option to create a username, and create one later through menu-item “customer service” within the Internet Banking. After you have taken these steps the system will automatically log off and process your new setting. Within a couple of seconds you can log-in again with your (new) username and password.

You can find helpful advice in our Internet Banking manual in order to check if your PC/ Browser has the right settings e.g. with regard to the pop-up blocker, security settings and active x-control.

3. Security
Besides the encrypted connection to our login page, which you can recognize by the “S” in the web address starting with “Https..” and closed “locker” symbol (If you click on it you should see that VeriSign issued a certificate to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, Beijing, Beijing, CN), it is also important that you can recognize several types of crime like “fishing”, “malware” and “possible identity fraud”.

It is important to make use of computers with the up-to-date virus protection, active firewalls and the latest browser versions.

ICBC makes use of several security methods to protect your privacy, and controls movements by verifications, USB-Shield and passwords. Also we have personalized your welcome page, and give instructions about necessary browser settings.

- False login attempts and definite block
Your username will automatically freeze for a day after you tried to login 3 times with an incorrect password. If your username has been frozen for 10 times, it will have a permanent block. We can only unblock the username when you identify yourself at our counter in Mumbai. 
- USB-Shield
Our USB-Shield is needed for you to authorize your orders. USB-Shield is a client certificate introduced by ICBC with a patent, as well as a high-level security tool provided by the Bank for e-banking services.
USB-Shield is embedded with a micro smart card processor, which encrypts, decrypts and signs digital signatures on e-banking transaction data through a digital certificate to ensure the confidentiality and tamper-resistance of the transaction data and the uniqueness of identity authentication.

Retrieve username and/ or forgot password?

Our security policy directs to divide the channels by which passwords and usernames are issued.
Passwords can be entered personally in our system at our counter, and the username is pre-defined by your account number. After the first login you can make a more user-friendly username.

- Retrieve username
If you forgot your username but still know your password, you can also use your 19 payment account number as a username. Under “customer service” and “Set logon option” you can find back your Username. If you do not have your account number available, you can go to “user management” on the login page and complete the verification details to retrieve your username in the screen.
- Forgot password
Your password can not be re-issued on the line. If you forgot your password it is only possible to come to our counter with your ID. We will reset the system and give you the opportunity to enter a 6 digit password. After you login the first time, the system will force you to make a new password with a combination of Case sensitive letters and numbers just like when you used internet banking for the very first time. You can still send us order forms to execute e.g. payments, etc.
