Have had mine for three years for the personal banking, and a year for business banking, no problem so far, have never had to replace it.
totally agree........I had a new one delivered to me as the old one gave up on me after 1 year .. then the new one came which was faulty so had to return it and then wait weeks to have a new one delivered. Then tried to do a third party transfer online which could not go through until someone at the bank "fixed" a configuration which noone could explain to me why was necessary. Very very irritating to say the least.
agree that it makes online banking safer but not worth the trouble. a simpler way improve the security is to change your password regularly.
I think the device is very good. I have it for my HSBC and hang seng account too but the hang seng account is stupid because you do not need it to log in and only for transfers, i would want it for log in too. I got mine when HSBC first had and i log in everyday and till now around 3 years never changed it yet. Never ran out of Batt or malfunctioned
I treat mint quite rough. Its in my keychain for 3 years and no problems at all.
I quite like 2 factor authentication, in fact I think its a necessity in today's insecure network environment. Are there still any banks out there that are doing just username/password. I thought everyone has a hardware token or SMS authentication.. right?

I think Standard Chartered is simple user id / password. Not sure, I've not logged into that account in a year or two.
yeah no problem have one for personal account as well as Company account and no issue at all
