Welcome to Cater Allen Internet Banking

Cater Allen Private Bank Internet Banking Service Terms and Conditions.

The following Terms and Conditions apply if you have registered for Cater Allen Internet Banking (the "Internet Banking Service"). Please note, these Terms and Conditions are in addition to the existing Personal or Non-Personal Terms and Conditions which apply to your Account(s) and services and all appropriate information which we give you before you open your Account. All your existing Terms and Conditions remain effective.

You will be able to cancel the service at any time, for which there will be no charge.

With the Internet Banking Service you will be able to view and, where applicable, operate your Account(s) via the internet. Your existing services will remain unaffected, for example the Cater Allen Telephone Banking Service.

1.   The Internet Banking Service
  • (a)
    • In order to be registered for the Internet Banking Service you will need to have provided us your mobile phone number (which must be for a mobile phone which is able to make and receive both calls and text messages) and your email address so that these can be registered in relation to your Account(s).
    • When you open your account with Cater Allen, you will receive two welcome letters, one with your Customer ID and the other with your Account Number. You will need both of these details when you first register and then log into the Internet Banking Service. When you first register you will be prompted to choose your Personal Access Code (PAC) and password. You will need to validate these new credentials using a One Time Passcode which will be sent to your registered mobile phone. Following first log on and every time you log in or change credentials, you will be prompted to use your Customer ID, 6 digits from your PAC and your password.

    • It is your responsibility to ensure you keep your Internet Banking Service Personal Security Information safe and do not disclose them to any other person.
