Frequently asked questions

  • Use your card reader in Online for Business to:

    • Log in
    • Add recipients
    • Make payments
    • Set up standing orders.

    Please note: there’s a limit of two additional card readers per customer.

  • Your batteries might need replacing.

    If you see a ‘Battery Low’ warning message on the card reader display, the batteries will need replacing.

    To replace the batteries, you’ll need 4 x LR44 1.5v batteries and a small screwdriver. Remove the screw at the back of the reader, replace the batteries, and your card reader will be ready to use.

  • Any UK bank card reader should work with your card in the same way. The card reader doesn’t store any personal information about you, so you can use a colleague’s reader if they have one available. 

    As long as you have your unique card and PIN, you’ll be able to generate passcodes.
