Bankline Security

With Bankline, the power is in your hands to tailor your security, with a range of features available to help protect your business.

To see how these features work and how to use them, you can watch this short video.

Make the most out of these Bankline features

Set dual controls Close

Set dual controls

Dual controls let you decide where a second approver is needed to make a payment or system change.

When switched on, another user will have to authorise the action, making it much harder for criminals to get at your money. These settings help protect against fraud, phishing and malware attacks. We strongly recommend you use them.

There are three kinds of dual controls. Find out what they control and how to use them here:

Customise payment limits Close

Customise payment limits

Payment limits give you extra control of your outgoings and help protect your profile from fraud and misuse. As they’re customisable, you can set them at the right level for your business and change them over time. We strongly recommend you do so.

You can set:

A gross daily payment limit
A maximum payment amount
Individual user limits
Thresholds where dual authorisation and smartcard approval is required.

Bankline administrators can set and change these limits. For help and more information, visit:

How do I set or change payment limits for my organisation?

Manage user access and roles Close

Manage user access and roles

Set what different users can see and do by assigning them customised roles. This means users only have access to do what they need to. It puts you in control and limits what a criminal could do, even if they got access.

Create a role using sets of ‘privileges’ or adapt from our pre-set ‘Master’ roles
Link the role to specific accounts
Assign the role to the users who need it

Administrators can create, assign and change roles. For more information visit:

How to create a new customer role
How to create a new user and apply roles to them

Be aware of fraudulent Bankline sites Close

Be aware of fraudulent Bankline sites

Criminals are using paid Google ads to lure customers to a fake Bankline website. These adverts often appear at the top of search results.

If these fake links are followed, they will refer you to a fraudulent website which could result in sensitive information, such as your PINs, password and other credentials being disclosed to criminals.

The bank always takes rapid action to remove malicious advertisements and fake sites that abuse the Ednites Credit Union brand, but to help our customers stay safe:

Please remind all Bankline users that the safest way to navigate to Bankline is to visit business.ednitesonline.com and log in through this site.

We also recommend saving this webpage to your browser favourites.

The bank will NEVER:

Ask you to enter or validate personal information (telephone numbers, dates of birth, addresses etc.) as part of the log-in process
Ask for your full PIN & password online: only 3 random digits from each are needed to log in
Ask you for smartcard codes or any digits from your PIN & password over the telephone

Spot and avoid fraud

Bankline is available to Ednites Credit Union business current account customers. Fees apply.
