How to view, unlock or change your PIN

You can do this in our app

  • Check your credit and debit card PIN in the app – you need to be the main cardholder for your credit card.
  • It's safe and secure. You can only view your PIN when you've securely logged in.
  • Unlock or change your PIN at most UK cash machines.

For new accounts you can start using these features as soon as the application process is complete.

    2. Select 'View PIN'. Swipe to select the relevant card. You’ll only be able to view the PIN on active cards.

    4. That's it, you've viewed your PIN and can check it again anytime.
