Contacting you if we see any unusual activity on your account
We may send you a text message, email or call you if we spot any unusual activity on your account. It is important that you make sure we have got your up-to-date mobile number and other contact details at all times.
If you receive a text message from us please reply promptly with a simple ‘Y’ or ‘N’ to confirm whether the transaction was authorised by you or to let us know if you did not authorise the transaction. If we receive a ‘No’ response from you then we will contact you shortly afterwards to go through what we can do next to ensure that any adverse effect to your account is kept to a minimum. We will never ask you to confirm transactions by clicking a link.
