I can’t activate the App. What should I do?

Check:

  1. Your phone has a signal and internet connection. 
  2. You’ve registered the correct mobile phone number with Metro Bank. You can see what it is if you log in to internet banking. If you want to change it, call us or come into a store.
  3. You’ve entered these details correctly:
    • Your 12-digit customer number or username
    • Your 8-digit security number and password
    • Your 8 digit verification code which was sent to you in a text message.
  4. If you didn’t receive the SMS, you can request a new one within the app. If this still doesn’t work give us a call on 0345 08 08 500 or pop into a store.

If you still can’t activate it, come into a store or call us on 0345 08 08 500.
