Make sure you keep your contact numbers up to date
We're going to be introducing some additional security measures to help keep you secure online.  These improvements will mean it's important that we have your up-to-date contact telephone numbers.

Over the next few weeks, we shall be giving you the opportunity to update your details when you sign in to online banking.  See online help for more information.

In the event that we detect unusual activity on your account, an alert message may be displayed on screen.  The alert message will include a short confirmation code.  We will then contact you by telephone, on one of your pre-registered numbers, and ask you to enter the code into the phone before you can proceed.

These alert messages should only happen very rarely when you use online banking - however you will still benefit from improved fraud protection. Take a look at our online demo to see how this will work.
