We use industry-leading fraud defence technology to protect you and we work around the clock to monitor for suspicious activity on your account.  We will contact you if we spot any unusual activity on your account.  You can order a replacement card and monitor your account for any suspicious activity via Online or Mobile Banking if you have any concerns.

Here are some simple steps you can take to better protect yourself:

• Sign-up  for our free Account Alerts service via our Online or Mobile Banking so you can keep track of activity on your account
• Ensure that you don’t recycle your passwords - use a unique password for your online and mobile banking and don’t  reuse this password with any other online service
• Over the coming weeks, you may receive emails, phone calls, or SMS messages relating to this issue.  If you receive such as message, it is worth taking a few moments to stop and check whether it is genuine. Remember we will NEVER ask you for your full PIN or Password, card reader codes, or ask you to move money from your account.
