By using our digital banking services, you agree to these terms.
We don't charge for our digital banking services but you may be charged for making certain types of payments. You can find further details in your Product terms. Your network operator may also charge you for using the internet.
We'll do all we reasonably can to prevent unauthorised access to your accounts through digital banking. You must also act reasonably to prevent misuse of your accounts through digital banking. If you don’t, we may block your access to protect you and us from unauthorised use.
If someone else tries to access, or has accessed, your accounts through digital banking without your permission you must contact us as soon as possible. We'll ask you to give us information or other help and we may also give, or ask you to give, information to the police to assist with any investigation.
You should also check your Product terms as they may tell you more about what you need to do to keep your accounts or products secure.
You can find more information about using our digital banking services, including tips about how to keep your accounts secure and how to make payments, in Banking made easy (if you have a current account or savings account), when you log-in to digital banking and on our website.
From time to time we may make changes to the digital banking service (such as introducing new features or making updates to our Mobile Banking App). Depending on the update, you may not be able to use digital banking until you have updated your browser or software or downloaded the latest version of our Mobile Banking App. You may also need to agree to new terms if you want to continue to use the services. We'll let you know through your mobile device if there is a new version of our Mobile Banking App.
The digital banking service will be available 24/7, unless:
-we're making changes to our systems or if we can't provide the services for technical, security, legal or regulatory reasons or due to unusual events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control (for example, if a service provider stops providing services for any reason); or
-your internet connection, mobile device or network fails. The Mobile Banking App may also not be available if you do not keep it updated.
You'll still be able to use your accounts (e.g. through Telephone Banking) so we won't be liable to you if digital banking is unavailable.
We provide digital banking “as is” and it's your responsibility to use it in an appropriate way. We may also provide tools that you can use with our products and related services if you want to. We'll take reasonable care to make sure that they work as described, but you shouldn't solely rely on them and we won't be responsible if they don't always work as you expect. You should monitor your accounts regularly to check that any tools are operating in the way you expect. Our responsibility is to provide the relevant product or service in accordance with the terms.
We'll take reasonable care to ensure that any information we provide to you through digital banking is an accurate reflection of the information we hold or, if it is provided by a third party, that it accurately reflects the information we receive. Where information is provided by a third party we can't guarantee that it is accurate or error free. We'll explain when you use digital banking if information we provide is subject to restrictions or if we provide it on a specific basis (for example, if it's only accurate at a particular date).
We'll use reasonable skill and care to ensure that digital banking is safe and secure and does not contain viruses or other damaging property, for example by incorporating security features into it, however, we can't guarantee that this will be the case or that no damage will occur to your data, software, computer, mobile device or other digital content. If we fail to comply with this and you suffer loss and/or damage to your data, software, device, digital content and/or other equipment, we'll be liable.
We won't be responsible for:
-any equipment, software or user documentation which someone other than us produces for use with digital banking; and
-any service you use to access digital banking or which you access through digital banking which we don't control.
If you use digital banking outside the EU, Channel Islands or Isle of Man we won't be liable to you if this does not comply with any local laws. We may block your access to our digital banking services if you try to access them from a country that is subject to sanctions (even if you're only there for a short period of time).
