When you first register for eBanking we’ll send you an eight digit User ID and a four digit temporary passcode via letter. When you are logging on to eBanking for the first time, or have ordered a new passcode, you will have to change the temporary passcode we’ve sent you to a four digit passcode of your choice. Choose something you can remember, which cannot easily be guessed and isn't too simple, such as 1111, 4444, 1234.

Your 4-digit passcode will form part of your electronic signature. This will become the passcode you will use each time you log on to eBanking on a computer. You will also need this to log on to the Mobile Banking app for the first time, after which you will be prompted to set a separate passcode.

To get logged on to eBanking for the first time watch our eBanking video guide or take a look at our eBanking setup guide. You cannot set-up your 4-digit passcode on the Mobile Banking app, this first log on must be completed using a computer.

If you want to change your passcode and you know your current passcode, you can do so in desktop eBanking but not on the Mobile Banking app.

Make sure you choose a new passcode that you will remember. If you try to log on to eBanking or the Mobile Banking app unsuccessfully five times in a row, using your old passcode for example, your account will be blocked and you’ll need to contact Customer Support to have the block lifted.

How you change your passcode:

• Log on to desktop eBanking.
• Choose “About eBanking” in the top right hand corner, then choose “Settings”.
• Choose "Access ID" in the drop down menu and click "Change passcode".
• Type in your current passcode.
• Type in a new passcode.
• Repeat it and click "OK".

Only you should have access to your eBanking passcode. If you suspect that somebody else knows your passcode, you must block it as soon as possible. This ensures that your account and information is kept secure.

How to block your passcode:

• If you are able to access your eBanking right away, you can change your current passcode from the settings menu. This will instantly block your previous passcode.
• If you are unable to access eBanking, you must order a new passcode immediately. You can do this by contacting the Bank on 0345 603 1534 or +44 (0)28 9004 9219 if you are calling from outside the UK.

In each case it may be beneficial to contact us and explain what has happened. An advisor will be happy to assist you where necessary.

If you forget your 4-digit passcode, contact eBanking Customer Support on 0345 603 1534 (or +44 (0)28 9004 9219 if you are calling from outside the UK) to have a new temporary passcode issued to you.

If we hold a valid mobile number for you we can send you a temporary passcode by SMS. If we do not hold a mobile number, we can register a number for you however you must then wait 48 hours before a temporary passcode can be sent to that mobile number. You can also call into any of our branches to receive a new temporary passcode right away. In some circumstances, we may need to issue your temporary passcode by letter and you can expect to receive this within 5 – 7 days.

Once you receive your temporary passcode you’ll need to log on to desktop eBanking in order to create a new four digit passcode.

If you use the Mobile Banking app for your day to day banking, you will still need to log on to desktop eBanking initially to create a new four digit passcode in order to gain access to the Mobile Banking app.

If you’ve forgotten your User ID, contact eBanking Customer Support on the number above to have your User ID provided over the phone.
