Do I always need my card-reader when I bank online?

To keep your account secure, you may need to use a card reader to confirm your identity when logging into Online Banking.

In Online Banking, you'll also need a card reader to:

  • set up a payee
  • make a payment for the first time
  • update any regular payments, like standing orders
  • update personal details, like your mobile number, PIN, email address or password
  • manage your activity alerts

Alternatively you may be eligible to use your biometrics on your mobile app.
