If another user on your agreement has access to the 'User Administration' module in District, the user can see the user ID associated with your eSafeID device.

The codes from your eSafeID device are unique to you and no-one, not even the Bank should ever ask you to share these.

If you are contacted by someone who is requesting these codes it’s likely a fraudster!

You should end the call immediately and report this to us using our 24 hour emergency telephone number 0800 917 7918.
