A card reader is a security device needed by all customers looking to get the most out of Online Banking. It works with your Online Banking service to provide an extra layer of protection against online fraud.
When you register for Online Banking a card reader will automatically be sent to you and should arrive within 3-5 working days.
You can also register for biometric approvals on your mobile app which will allow you authorise certain transactions within Online Banking instead of using your card reader. Criteria apply.
You may sometimes need your card reader, or your mobile app if you have registered for biometric approvals, when logging into Online Banking and will also need it to complete certain tasks, such as:
It’s really important to remember we’ll never contact you and ask you to share your card reader details with us over the phone.
If you don't have a card reader, you can still make payments and manage regular payments with the mobile app anytime, anywhere. You can also use your biometrics to authorise Online Banking transactions if you have registered through your mobile app. Criteria apply.
When paying someone new using the mobile app, there is a limit of 5 payments totalling £1,000 per day. When paying an existing international payee, there is a limit of £10,000 per day. You must be aged 16 or over.
Setting up biometric approvals through the Ednites Credit Union app gives you more control over your accounts. You can use it to authorise:
If you're registered for face biometrics, you can pay a new payee up to a maximum of £20000, or £50000 for Premier and business customers, in a single payment without a card reader. The recipient will appear in your saved payees after the first time you make a payment to them.
App available to customers aged 11+ using compatible iOS or Android devices and an international mobile number in specific countries. Biometric approvals are available to eligible mobile app customers aged 16 or over.
