You can activate our new service on a tablet/iPad. To ensure the activation of our new service is as secure as possible, we’ll need to text a verification code to a mobile phone number. If we’re unable to text you your verification code then unfortunately you’ll be unable to use the service.
Yes, you can access our new app via your tablet or iPad instead of using a smartphone, but you’ll need a mobile phone to receive the activation code. Once you’re set up, if you’d prefer not to use a mobile phone, then we suggest using our new digital service via your browser for the best experience.
Whilst we’ll need to text you an activation code to set up our new digital service, once this has been done, as long as you have WIFI you won’t need a mobile phone signal to use our service.

Yes. Our new digital service is built on a state-of-the-art platform, which has been subject to robust testing and complies with all industry security regulations to ensure it’s completely safe and secure.
Apple upgrade their operating system (iOS) regularly. Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your Apple product's security. We highly recommend that you keep iOS and all apps on your device up to date at all times. To make this as easy as possible, we recommend that you activate the automatic update features on your Apple device (both automatic software updates and automatic App updates).
To maintain access to your Coutts account(s) you need to make sure you always have the latest version of the Coutts app. If you have turned off automatic App updates, refer to Apple's How to update apps manually on your Apple device guide.
You can learn more about Apple security updates here.
For security, please make sure that you delete the app from your old device. The service will carry on as before, but you'll need to download the app again on your new device from the relevant app store.
If you have already transferred your app to your new device, please delete the app and reinstall, and follow the on screen steps to register your new device:
Click ‘Start’ then read and confirm you are happy with our cookie policy by clicking ‘Next’. When asked ‘Have you registered your password?’ please click on ‘I’ve registered my password’ to continue through the remaining steps.
