To keep you and your money safe, we have introduced a secure mobile authentication app. It's a simple way to verify yourself when logging in to online banking and to approve your online payments.
It is a digital banking service designed for easy handling of large transactions and volume of payments on one platform. You can use it with one or multiple businesses so all of your accounts are viewable in one place in real time. And, you can arrange for customisable users and access levels.
There is a monthly service fee dependant on how many users you register on the platform.
Certain payment types attract additional fees, which is not unique to the Financial Director Online service. Please view the full tariff of fees for all costs.
If your business handles fewer transactions and a smaller value of payment, perhaps our Business Online Banking service is better for you.
