Step 1

Get ready for Bankline

Know what you need to get started

Here’s what you’ll need to log in to Bankline for the first time:

  • Your activation code: You’ll have this already in the email we sent you. 
  • Your Customer ID and User ID: Log in details to enter every time you log in. Your account leader will give you these.
  • Your smartcard and card reader: Your account leader may give you these, or they may be sent to your home or office address. 
  • Smartcard PIN: The code to activate your smartcard. We’ll post this to the address registered for you in Bankline.


For UK addresses, it takes 7 days for your smartcard and reader to arrive from the point your account leader set you up.

Three things to do while you’re waiting

While you’re waiting for your log in items to arrive, there’s three things to do to get ready. 

This is the ideal time to talk to your account leader about using Bankline, learn about how it works, and sign up for a webinar with our team. 

1. Talk to an account leader

One of your account leaders will be reaching out to share your Customer ID and User ID. Why not take the chance to have a quick chat about Bankline? 

They’ll know how your organisation uses Bankline and have plenty of advice to share. 

Ask them about: 

  • What role you’ll have and what you’ll be doing in Bankline.
  • The security controls that your organisation has in place in Bankline.
  • Whether you’ll be needing the Bankline Mobile app.
  • The names of any other account leaders (good to know for future reference).

2. Take a quick tour

To get a feel for how Bankline works, take a look at the dashboard below and explore the key areas of Bankline. Permissions are required to access some of these areas.
