The Digital Helpline

How the Digital Helpline can help you

We want to help our customers and their friends and family be confident using the internet, not only for banking, but for other things too. So, in partnership with the Digital Helpline we are offering 1-2-1 training sessions. These sessions are tailor-made to your needs, so you can start with the basics of how to charge a device, turn it on and connect to the internet, right through to online banking. 

You can learn to:

  • Set up a device and connect to the internet 
  • Create an email account and send emails
  • Sign up for Internet Banking and bank online
  • Book a doctors appointment
  • Shop online for groceries
  • Stay in touch with family and friends through video calls

Call the Digital Helpline to have an initial chat and they will try to help with any queries there and then. Or they’ll book in a phone call or video call depending on your skills. Booking in a call for up to 2 hours can give you time to learn at your own pace.

Lines open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm

If you have a hearing or speech impairment, you can book a session using Relay UK or BSL SignVideo (available on Safari, Chrome or Firefox web browsers).

To be eligible for this service, individuals must be:

  • Residents of the United Kingdom or Channel Islands
  • At least 18 years old 

We’ll never get in touch to ask you to move money to another account, for your banking details or to take control of a computer. The Digital Helpline won’t do this either.
