Dear Customer, As part of our security measures to protect your online banking account, Abbey has introduced a recent internet banking security upgrade. This compulsory upgrade requires you to authorize access to your Abbey online account on a fixed computer, marked by your IP address. This establishes a secure connection to your online account. This upgrade ensures that only access from the computer registered to our security system are authorized. Any access from a different computer will display a simple security tip from your personal records. Any incorrect detail entered immediatialy triggers a security alert and restrict further access to your online banking details, preventing fraudulent activities. This is one of our varying methods of checking online fraud by preventing a third party (unauthorized) access to your online banking information.
