Our upgraded cards and improved Internet and Mobile Banking platforms will be live from Sunday 1 September. For us to make these improvements, we’ll need to have some planned system outages which we’ve outlined below. This means that access to your cards, Internet and Mobile Banking will be temporarily unavailable during the times outlined below. We recommend you plan for these outages.
Rest assured, we will be working hard to minimise disruption to you during these outages and will restore full functionality as soon as possible. Updates will be provided here on our website and Facebook page during the upgrades next weekend, and we’ve added answers to common questions in our updated frequently asked questions. If you’d like to receive text message updates, please ensure we have your correct mobile phone number on file.
Our Contact Centre will also be available on Sunday, 1 September, from 7.00 a.m. to help you with any card or access-related questions. You can reach us on 0800 229 943, however, please be patient with our team; they are learning our new system, and we may be experiencing higher call volumes than usual.
