Step 1

Get ready for Bankline

Know what you need to get started

Here’s what you’ll need to log in to Bankline for the first time:

  • Your activation code: You’ll have this already in the email we sent you. 
  • Your Customer ID and User ID: Log in details to enter every time you log in. Your administrator will give you these.
  • Your smartcard and card reader: Your administrator may give you these, or they may be sent to your home or office address. 
  • Smartcard PIN: The code to activate your smartcard. We’ll post this to the address registered for you in Bankline.


For UK addresses, it takes 7 days for your smartcard and reader to arrive from the point your administrator set you up.

Two things to do while you’re waiting

While you’re waiting for your log in items to arrive, there’s three things to do to get ready. 

This is the ideal time to talk to your administrator about using Bankline, and learn about how it works

1. Talk to your administrator

Your administrator will be reaching out to share your Customer ID and User ID. Why not take the chance to have a quick chat about Bankline? 

They’ll know how your organisation uses Bankline and have plenty of advice to share. 

Ask them about: 

  • What role you’ll have and what you’ll be doing in Bankline.
  • The security controls that your organisation has in place in Bankline.
  • Whether you’ll be needing the Bankline Mobile app.
  • If there are any other administrators (good to know for future reference).

2. Take a quick tour
