Passkey is a new authentication method in My CBC mobile app that replaces SMS OTP codes for financial transactions. Instead of waiting for SMS codes, customers use their fingerprint, face recognition, or device PIN to authenticate transactions.
SMS OTP has served us well, but scammers have gotten smarter. SMS codes can be stolen in three main ways: fake websites, SIM swap, and social engineering. Passkeys eliminate all three because they're locked to your device and only work on the real My CBC app.
Safer than SMS codes because:
A password manager is a secure digital vault built into your phone that safely stores your Passkeys. Think of it like a locked safe that only you can open with your fingerprint or face.
For iPhone users:
Your password manager is called Passwords. It's the same place where Safari saves your website passwords. Apple built it into every iPhone - you already have it.
For Android users:
Your password manager is called Google Password Manager. It's the same place where Chrome saves your website passwords. Google built it into every Android phone - you already have it.
Other devices, i.e. Samsung may also have a default password manager, Samsung Pass.
When creating your Passkey, please use your device's default password manager. This ensures your Passkey works correctly during transaction verification.
Passkeys are becoming mandatory for two important reasons:
Regulatory Requirement: The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Circular 2025 1213 requires stronger authentication methods.
Your Protection: Passkeys protect you from SMS-based scams, which are increasing. By making Passkeys mandatory, we're ensuring all our customers have the strongest protection available.
Yes, you'll still use your password to log in to My CBC. For now, Passkeys replace SMS OTP codes for financial transaction authentications only.
For the first month after we launch Passkeys, it's optional - you can continue using MPIN, SMS OTP, biometrics if you prefer.
After the first month, Passkeys will become required for all My CBC users to meet new security regulations. Don't worry - we'll remind you before this happens and help you set it up!
Setting up a Passkey is easy and takes less than a minute:
For iPhone:
iPhone running iOS 16 or later. Your device must have Passwords (iCloud Keychain) enabled
For Android:
Android version 9 (Pie) or late. Google Mobile Services (GMS) must be installed. Google Password Manager enabled
To protect your password manager, you should always enable a screen lock (biometrics, or passcode or PIN) on your device. This prevents unauthorized access if your device is lost or unattended.
Most password managers will prompt you to set up a screen lock if one is not already enabled.
Your Passkey is securely stored in your device's password manager
iPhone: iCloud Keychain (the same place your passwords are stored)
Android: Google Password Manager
You’ll use Passkey to authenticate financial transactions:
If authentication doesn't work: Try again
If it still fails, call our Customer Contact Center
Common reasons for failure:
While you can delete your Passkey from your Password Manager, we do not recommend you do it.
If you accidentally delete your Passkey, please contact our Customer Contact Center. They will reset your Passkey in our system and guide you through creating a new one.
Your My CBC Passkey cannot be transferred to another device. Please contact our Customer Contact Center, where a device and Passkey reset will be performed, and you will be guided through.
Common reasons:
Check these options:
Your Passkey is protected even if your phone is stolen:
For extra protection:

Google Wallet usually comes pre-installed on Android phones. All you need on top of that is the My CBC app (version 1.8.5 or later) to add your card.
Nope, it’s completely free. My CBC doesn’t charge any fees for this.
Your Android device needs to support NFC (Near Field Communication), which you can enable through your phone settings, and have Google Wallet installed. My CBC works on Android 9.0 and above.
You can add the following:
| Network | Cards |
| Visa Credit | Classic Visa Instant Card / Landers Instant Card |
| Visa Credit | @home Visa Platinum |
| Visa Credit | Velvet / Landers Executive Visa Signature |
| Visa Debit | Classic (incl. Young Savers) |
| Visa Debit | Signature Debit |
| Mastercard Credit | Prime Mastercard Instant Card |
| Mastercard Credit | Platinum (Freedom / Cash Rewards / Destinations) |
| Mastercard Credit | World PHP (Wealth / Destinations World) |
| Mastercard Credit | World USD |
| Mastercard Credit | Elite (incl. Wealth) |
Yes, you can add it straight from the Cards Hub.
Yes, also available through the Cards Hub.
It’s simple:
Yes, but only for your Primary Credit Card. Your Virtual Card, and Debit Card can only be added through the Cards Hub.
Not at the moment. You can only add your card through the My CBC app, or manually through Google Wallet itself.
Yes, you can manually enter your card details there. Learn more on the Chinabank Cards Google Pay page on our website.
Yes. Head to the Card Hub and you’ll see “Added to Google Wallet” for cards already set up, or the “Add to Google Wallet” button for those that aren’t yet.
Of course, as long as your card is still active and eligible, you can re-add it anytime through My CBC or directly via Google Wallet.
ID&V stands for Identity & Verification. If you didn’t complete the SMS OTP step during setup, your card may show as “Pending ID&V” in Google Wallet until you finish verifying.
In My CBC, you’ll still see the “Add to Google Wallet” button. In Google Wallet, your card will show “Finish Set-Up.”
Just tap “Add to Google Wallet” again in My CBC. It’ll pick up right where it left off, no need to go back to Google Wallet. You’ll be asked to enter an SMS OTP, and once verified, your card will be added successfully.
It’s a security step to confirm it’s really you completing the setup, keeping your account protected.
Once verification is done, your card status in Google Wallet will switch to “Default for contactless payments” or “Hold to Reader,” and My CBC’s Card Hub will show “Added to Google Wallet.” That means you’re all set to pay.
Your physical card works as usual. However, Google Pay payments won’t be available until your card shows “Ready for Payment” in Google Wallet.
Definitely. This is one of the most secure ways to add a card to a digital wallet. Your real card number is never shown or shared. Instead, a secure digital token is created for your transactions, backed by industry-standard encryption and PCI DSS compliance.
It’s a unique, secure number that stands in for your real card number during digital payments. Even if it were ever compromised, it can’t be used to access your account or make unauthorized transactions. Your actual card details stay protected.
No. Only you, logged into your own My CBC account, can add your card this way.
Report it to Chinabank right away. We’ll suspend or cancel the digital token tied to your card so it can’t be used for Google Pay anymore. You can also temporarily lock your card yourself through the Card Hub in My CBC while you sort things out.
Try these steps:
Yes, just repeat the steps on each device. Each one gets its own secure digital token.
If your card’s already in Google Wallet, the “Add to Google Wallet” button might not show up again on that device. If you’d like the added security of adding it through My CBC instead, you can remove the card and re-add it that way.
You’ll need to add your new card to Google Wallet again, either through the My CBC app or manually through Google Wallet.
Just unlock your phone, hold it near the payment terminal, and authenticate if asked. Look out for the Google Pay or contactless symbol at checkout.
Anywhere that accepts contactless (NFC) payments.
Yes! Just select “Google Pay” at checkout on supported websites and apps.
