How we protect your business

  • Secure log on - you can create a secure link between your trusted device and your online banking profile. Each time you log on, the digits we’ll ask for from your memorable information will be different.
  • Automatic log off - you can set up how long your online banking session stays inactive before it logs you off.
  • Fraud detection - we monitor your account(s) for any unusual activity.
  • Account suspension - we’ll temporarily disable your account(s) after a number of incorrect logon attempts, in case fraudsters are trying to guess your details.
  • Fraud refunds - we do all that we can to protect your money. But you need to know how to avoid scams and fraud and protect your security details. You can find out more about fraud here. We’ll refund any payments that are made without your approval. You should tell us about the payment as soon as possible.  If you haven’t kept your security details safe or failed to tell us within 13 months, we may not refund you.

    You need to tell us right away if you believe you’ve sent a payment to a fraudster’s bank account. We can then investigate your claim to decide on a refund for any money you may have lost. Contact Us.
  • Confirmation of payee - when you add a new payee, we automatically check the payment details match our records to make sure you’re paying the right person or business. Learn more about confirmation of payee.
  • Strong customer authentication - new industry regulation means you may see an extra security check when you buy something online. Find out more about strong customer authentication.

We use leading security technology and fraud prevention techniques to protect you and your money online.
