Your password should contain a unique combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and special characters. Don’t use common dictionary words or personal details like your name, customer ID or date of birth, otherwise you could be liable for any unauthorised transactions. You’ll be able to see a password strength indicator the first time you register via the app or when you change your password through internet banking.

A one-time password (OTP) is a 6-digit number that is sent to your registered phone number as a text message to authenticate a particular transaction or to confirm the updating of your personal information. Newcastle Permanent OTPs now include a description of the activity that has prompted the authentication.
