Has anyone had any issues with airport security while travelling with Banco Popular's new security number keychain ?... I was told a while back that anything that resembles a remote control could be seized. Also do they work outside DR. I know I could ask the bank but has anyone actually used it in the US or Canada.

I have passed thru POp and SD with that Gizmo.... no problems

Yes, they work anywhere you have a computer... just punch in the code.

There is a thread on this here.... search it for more info

You have no worries..... Like Alfred E Newman

Its the new electronic gizmo that flashes a code for 20 seconds or so---- then it changes

To access your account, you enter the code and your password

Very hi-tech.... has been in Europe for a while... not so evident in No America

James Bond like.......beep- beep-beep

There is thread on it..... as DR1 BOB would say.... Use the search function , its your friend :bored:

Got no choice Mike. They replaced the number cards with this. Can't do tranfers without it. I don't understand why the Canadian banks can guanrantee security without this. Anyway, gotta go with the flow.

only valid for the one transaction and only for a short time period for the online banking.
sounds like a safe Toy to me.
