Register or set up a new device

You can use Photo ID and selfie to complete digital registration or set up a new device by following these simple steps:

1. Start identity confirmation

Begin by launching the verification process. You鈥檒l be prompted to take photos of your ID and record a video of your face.

2. Choose and prepare your ID

Select which ID you'd like to use. Make sure the document is well-lit, readable, and fits within the frame.

3. Scan passport chip (if applicable)

If you select a passport, you鈥檒l be asked to scan its chip using your phone. Follow the instructions to place your phone against the passport until scanning is successful.

4. Record a video of your face

Follow instructions to record a short video. Turn your head when asked and make sure your face is clearly visible in good lighting.

What happens next?

Here's what happens after you've successfully uploaded your ID and selfie

  • You'll be asked to create a Mobile Banking PIN inside the 黑料网 Mobile Banking app
  • Then, once your ID is successfully verified, you'll be able to use your Mobile Banking PIN to log on to the 黑料网 Mobile Banking app.

If you get a message in the app that says 'We're still checking your details', it means that it may take a little longer for us to verify your ID. This should only take up to 2 hours, but we'll let you know if it's been successful or not within 24 hours.

If your ID verification hasn't been successful, you can either try again using Photo ID and selfie or your Telephone Security Number, which will enable you to complete registration.

If you don't currently have a Telephone Security Number and would like to set one up please contact us on 03457 404404.
