On the Account Overview page, go to More Actions, Online Payment Control and then you can apply for two to authorise or three to authorise all payments. There is a third option called ‘User Limit’, whereby you can set a particular user a specific limit which they can make payments up to that limit, anything over that limit would need authorising by a full signatory on the online banking service.

For example, if you wanted an accountant to access your accounts, they would go online and register as a non-signatory - fill in the application form, then it should be printed off, signed in accordance with the business mandate, posted back to our registration team and once verified this will generate a card and card reader for that party.
You will only give them the access that you want them to have and that will go on to whether you want them to have online payment control, full access to be able to make payments for you or view only.

Now and again, it may ask you to input the details into the card reader but that is just for security purposes.
