On every sign-in, and again before an outside transfer is accepted.

Instant alerts

Sign-ins, payments, card activity and profile changes, as they happen.

Freeze in a tap

Lock a card, set daily limits, turn international use on or off.

Zero liability

You are not liable for unauthorised card transactions reported promptly.
