How we protect your business
We use leading security technology and fraud prevention techniques to protect you and your money online.
- Secure log on - you can create a secure link between your trusted device and your online banking profile. Each time you log on, the digits we’ll ask for from your memorable information will be different.
- Automatic log off - you can set up how long your online banking session stays inactive before it logs you off.
- Fraud detection - we monitor your account(s) for any unusual activity.
- Account suspension - we’ll temporarily disable your account(s) after a number of incorrect logon attempts, in case fraudsters are trying to guess your details.
- Fraud guarantee - if you become a victim of fraud, we’ll refund your money as long as you’ve been careful. Make sure you’re aware of our Fraud Guarantee.
- Confirmation of payee - when you add a new payee, we automatically check the payment details match our records to make sure you’re paying the right person or business. Learn more about confirmation of payee.
