One-Time Code

What is One-Time Code?

One-Time Code is a unique code which is sent to your nominated mobile or landline number as an extra security measure when you're completing certain transactions within Skipton Online, such as setting up a withdrawal to a new nominated bank account or changing your personal details.

When completing one of these transactions, you will be asked to enter the five-digit One-Time Code sometimes in combination with your Skipton Online password.

We have created a short video to explain how to use One Time Code and answered commonly asked questions below.

Using your One-Time Code

Things to consider

  • You may only nominate a UK registered mobile or landline number to receive your One-Time Code.
  • It is important to ensure your registered mobile and landline numbers are up to date. You will see the registered number before the One Time code is sent.
  • Your One Time Code is a security feature and as such should never be shared with anyone. We will never ring you and ask you for a one time code that has been sent to you.
