Q. Just how secure is the mobile phone banking service?


A. It uses the same secure backbone as UK cash machines. It’s been developed with some of the world’s leading banking security companies.

Absolutely no bank account information held on your mobile, and every time you want to use the service, you need to enter a passcode that you set yourself.

All the information is 256 bit encrypted; this is a very high level of security.

Q. What’s the difference between the full mobile phone banking service and the text-only service?


A. The full service allows you to access your account details any time you like. You can view recent transactions and balances, get SMS alerts and top-up any pre-paid mobile phone. Most modern phones can use the full service.

The text-only service sends you SMS alerts when your account hits limits that you set up yourself. You’ll also get a balance update once a week. All mobile phones can use the text-only service.

A. You’ll need to login to our mobile phone banking service, download the software to your new phone and set a new password. This only applies to our full service.

Q. Will my phone work with the full mobile phone banking service?


A. If your phone has a camera and is under three years old, it will probably work with our full service.

However, if your phone doesn’t work, you can always sign-up for our text-only service.
