Extra security when you shop and bank online
It's simple in the app
We’ve added extra security checks to protect your account. These checks happen when you:
- shop online
- log in to online banking
- make a payment to someone new.
This means if you don't use our app, or we don't have your phone number, you might not be able to continue.
The simplest way to prove it's you is by using the app.
Steps to take
We'll guide you through it.
-
You’ll notice the extra security during payment.
- App: Use the app to verify your purchase.
- Text: We’ll text a passcode to your mobile phone, which you then enter on the payment screen.
- Call: We'll call you and ask you to say a code that comes up on the payment screen.
