Voice ID uses your voice to authenticate you when you call. It recognises over 100 features of your unique voice and compares them against your enrolled voiceprint.
It’s easy to get started with Voice ID. When you call we’ll capture your unique voiceprint by asking you to repeat the phrase “My Voice is my Password”. It’s as simple as that. We will send a text message to confirm that your Voice ID is set up and then you’ll be able to use your voice when you call.

This is a completely optional service. As this type of personal data falls into the GDPR category “special category information” your explicit consent will be requested before enrolling.

Voice ID will make it easier, faster and safer to authenticate you over the phone.

• No need to answer security questions on every call; a simple phrase will do

• Saves time for our customers and staff

• We can be confident of who we are talking to; this makes your accounts safer.

The next time you call you will be given the opportunity to enrol for Voice ID.

Voice ID technology will make things safer, and better for our customers.

Unlike your personal information, your digital ‘voiceprint' can't be written down or guessed by others. Voice ID is sensitive enough to help detect if someone is impersonating you or playing a recording because your voice is unique in the same way that your fingerprint is.

Voiceprints are very reliable, but if you ever have problems, we can authenticate you with our current security procedures.

If your voiceprint fails to work repeatedly, it can always be set up again. We can delete your existing voiceprint and let you set up a new one – making sure you call from a quiet environment and have a good phone line connection.

I’m sorry to hear that you had a problem. We suggest that you give it another try and make sure you are calling from a quiet place and you have a good connection if you’re using a mobile phone. It is important to exactly match the words of the passphrase (“My Voice is my Password”)

If your voiceprint fails to work repeatedly, it can always be set up again. Please call a Customer Service Advisor and we can delete your existing voiceprint and let you set up a new one.
