If dual administration applies, the creation of the new user will have to be approved by another administrator. If you are an unrestricted administrator the new user should be authorised now, however you may choose to Authorise Later.

• To authorise with your card and reader
  • Insert your card into the card reader and press Respond 
  • Enter the card PIN and press OK
  • Enter the security code shown below and press OK
  • Your authorisation number is now displayed. Enter this number into the authorisation number box and select the AUTHORISE button on the screen.
• To authorise with CouttsID
  • Ensure you have your enrolled mobile phone
  • A message will be received
  • Press Authorise to authorise the changes or Reject to authorise later.

The user has been created, however will be blocked. If you selected card and reader as the authentication method:

• Select Smartcard and reader for Order type and click Confirm.

Users should only be unblocked once they have received both their card and PIN. Users enrolled with CouttsID as their authentication method should only be unblocked when they have downloaded the Coutts Mobile app and are ready to use their temporary password for CouttsID.

Please be aware that the temporary password has a short validity period so the user must be available to use the password when it is generated, you must also advise them of their username as they will need this to login.

The new card and reader will be sent to you and the PIN sent to the user within the next 5 working days. Once these have been received, an administrator will need to unblock the user before they can log in for the first time.

 Denotes that the change requires authorisation or further approval by another administrator if dual administration applies.
