Banking My Way

Banking My Way is a free service that lets you tell us what your banking needs are.

We share this information with our teams so we can better support you with your banking.

Specialised support

We have tools or services to make your day-to-day banking easier.

Online Banking and mobile app

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our digital products and services.

To do this, our website and our app are continually reviewed against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard and tested using automated testing tools by our teams.

How our website and app are accessible:

  • They support settings that change colours and contrast levels.
  • They support keyboard or speech recognition software.
  • They provide alternative text and logical heading structures to support screen readers.
  • They make sure links tell you what to expect when you click on it, instead of saying 'click here'.
  • They have clear form navigation with labelled fields and a logical tab sequence.
