Abstract
Development of mobile technology has enabled mobile devices to be adopted in daily activities. Financial
institutions are adopting mobile devices for banking purposes to enable their clients to bank from anywhere at
any time. Although, the adoption of mobile technology enabled convenience to the users, it has brought about a
great security challenge. This paper reviews the cyber security challenges to mobile banking and ways which
SACCOs minimize the impact. Findings indicate that some mitigation strategies to cyber threats to mobile
banking are in place though they seem not to address the major challenges.
