With Telephone Banking you can:

Use our automated service to check balances, transfer money and pay bills

Speak with one of our team about your accounts.

If you can't remember your Customer Number, PIN or password then our Support Centre is here to help.

Prefer texting over calling?

Our app comes with Secure Messaging which lets you speak with us by text. It's really simple to use. Just tap the 'Help' option to start.

Learn about Voice ID

Voice ID is a new security feature for Telephone Banking customers. It authenticates you using your voice in our automated system or when you speak to one of our team. This means you don’t have to use your PIN and password when you call us.

Getting started is simple – you just need to be registered for Telephone Banking and speak to one of our team who will be able to enrol you.

More secure

Using your voice to access Telephone Banking is the most secure way to protect your account.

Faster

Once enrolled, we'll recognise your voice when you speak to us - no time spent verifying your identity.

Easier

It authenticates you using your voice, so you don’t have to remember a password.

How it works

Your voiceprint

Just like your fingerprints, your voice is unique. Voice ID analyses over 100 aspects of the way you talk, from your accent and pronunciation to physical differences like the size and shape of your mouth. All these things create your unique voiceprint.

Staying secure

While a PIN and password can be written down or guessed by fraudsters, nobody can copy your voiceprint. With Voice ID you can be more confident than ever that your banking details are secure.

Get started with Voice ID in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Call us on 03457 242 424 (Overseas: 0131 549 8888, Relay UK: 18001 03457 242 424). You'll need your Telephone Banking security details. If you aren't already registered, please follow the steps to register first.

  2. 02

    Confirm your identity using your customer number, PIN and password. Please have your mobile phone handy when you call us, so we can send you a one time passcode.
