Verification messages

Every time there's a transaction on your card, you'll receive a notification on your primary device. These verification messages are more secure than SMS verifications and help protect you from SIM-swap fraud.

Stop and replace cards

Lost your card or suspect suspicious activity on it? Deactivate it immediately and order a replacement using your app.

The service is powered by havibeenpwned.com and can be accessed in the Security and Fraud hub on the Banking App.

    • If you’ve misplaced your card, you can easily lock and unlock certain transaction types, so they’re only active when you allow them, and unlock when you’ve found it.
