at a time. You don’t have to take the course all in one sitting. Choose how much you want to do at each sitting

3. Where possible use this guide in tandem with working on the system so that at the end of the first module, make the time to try it out in practice. Then proceed to the next module

4. Recognise that at the end of the learning process and with a little practice, what you found difficult at first will become second nature and you will soon be telling your friends that it is ‘dead simple, really’

The Need for Security

• You are concerned about system security. Your FI is concerned about system security. Paynet is concerned about system security.

• All of us need security to prevent financial systems and/or transactions being hacked, and perhaps fraudulently misused.

• For this reason Paynet have used all the current global best practices to maintain system security.

• The procedures will take you some time to understand and to put into practice but they are essential to protect you, your systems and your business.

• So be patient as you learn the process

11

The Secret Challenge• When you first login to the system the Secret Challenge

field will be blank. You will be asked to complete it. To do so enter a memorable word or phrase of your own choosing. A word or phrase that you will not forget.

• Your password is required to contain a minimum set of alpha/numeric characters plus at least one additional non-alphanumeric character (such as $, %, &, *, #). Thus it is sometimes not that easy to remember your password.

• In the event that you forget your password details, you will need to remember the ‘secret challenge’ word or phrase in order to reset your password.

• There is a failsafe to all this and if you forget both your password and your secret challenge memorable word, you may contact support@paynet.co.zw and the system can be re-set for you.
