Need support on how to use the internet?
We’ve teamed up with We Are Digital to help customers with little or no digital skills learn easy and safe ways they can get what they need online.
They offer free training and guidance on how to use the internet, including:
- Online Banking - viewing your account balance & making payments
- Online food shopping
- Booking a doctor’s appointment
- Staying in touch with friends and family through video calls
If you know someone that could benefit, ask them to contact the Digital Helpline on 0345 222 0333 from Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.
Those who are Deaf and use British Sign Language (BSL) can book a session using BSL SignVideo. Available on Safari, Chrome or Firefox web browsers.
Customers who have hearing loss or a speech impairment can use the service through Relay UK.
Remember, we’ll never get in touch to ask you to move money to another account, for your banking details or to take control of a computer. We Are Digital won’t do this either.
