Why has the sign in page changed?

We will be making changes to the sign-in page as part of our ongoing program of improvements for Internet Banking.

The change involves a new online keypad which you will need to use to enter your password. The online keypad uses special technology which scrambles your Customer ID and password to prevent those attempting fraud from capturing the information you have entered. Using the keypad to enter your password also helps protect against most types of keyloggers.

I use a screen reader - can you explain how the online keypad is laid out on the screen?

The online keypad consists of the following text:

"Enter Customer ID using your keyboard" and a box to enter this information in.

"Select the type of customer you are" with two buttons to select from: Personal or Business.

"Enter password using the buttons below".

Next is a three row keypad consisting of:

Line 1 - selectable keys marked 1 to 0

Line 2 - selectable keys marked A to M

Line 3 - selectable keys marked N to Z

The next line has an icon reading "Clear" and a box that shows dots to correspond with each password character entered. Our accessibility testing found no audible confirmation for each character entered. Next to this box is an icon reading "Sign in".

On the last line is text reading "If you have forgotten your password please call us on 1300 137 074."
