Mobile Banking

Setting up smile mobile banking

To get started with mobile banking you'll need to register for online banking first. Which if you haven't already done so, you can easily do within our app.

Once you’ve downloaded the app you’ll be prompted to enter your online banking:

Username
Password
6-digit online banking security code

Next we’ll send you a verification code. You can choose for this to be sent to the mobile phone number or email address you have registered with us. You’ll then be prompted to enter the verification code. Never share this code with anyone.

Please note – the code you receive will be valid for one hour. If your code expires or you haven’t received it, you can request for us to resend it to your chosen device.

Once we’ve verified your identity we will ask you to create a 6-digit passnumber.

What you need to know if you have previously set up balance and limit text alerts

Balance and limit text alerts are not available to set up in our new app. You will also no longer receive alerts that you set up in a previous version of our app. Overdraft alerts will be unaffected; we will continue to send you a text to notify you either before you go into or when you have entered into an unarranged overdraft.
