To ensure your account is as secure as possible, and to comply with new government requirements, we’ve introduced a ‘pause, reflect, protect’ feature. When adding a new payee, a pop-up window will appear with questions designed to make you aware of possible scams and reduce the chances of being caught out. While we appreciate this might feel like a bit of a pain, nobody will be more inconvenienced than the scammers!

At the moment, you will only see this new pop-up when adding a new payee in online banking. However, this feature will be coming soon to mobile banking too.

If you’re at all unsure, delete the new payee and contact us on 133 282 for assistance.

For added security, when you next log on to online banking you'll be prompted to change your password and set up security questions. If you've already tried to log on and entered an incorrect password multiple times, then your PASSWORD may have been locked.

If this happens you can reset your password through the ’Forgot your password’ function on the login page providing you have set your security questions in online banking. If your security questions are not set, you'll need to call us on 133 282 to reset this for you. For more information, check out this handy guide on how to reset your password.
