That's odd, I've not seen those and have been banking with Lloyds since was 17, and have been using online banking pretty much since it was set up. I wonder why they've not pushed one of those onto me. Perhaps I don't earn enough to be a juicy target ;-) -- Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire!

Interesting, though, I would have thought they would have completed the trial by now! -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:tony(a)vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England

Well, I've got three similar devices on my desk, it's getting a bit much! -- Blast off and strike the evil Bydo empire!

I wonder why they've not pushed one of those onto me. New customers only or opt in? I recently opened a new business account with HSBC and was given the option of this 6 digit keyfob device. What I want to know is can I use this "HSBC" keyfob with another bank should they decide to use them or do I *have* to use their supplied fob? I don't mind carrying *a* fob but I don't want to carry any more plus a couple of card reading things... -- Cheers new5pam(a)howhill.com Dave. pam is missing e-mail

Presumably the banks could share the serial of your fob; it's not in their interest to keep paying RSA the not inconsiderable sum for fobs when they don't have to. So, in answer to your question, yes you have to use their supplied fob :-) http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=214756 -- <http://ale.cx/> (AIM:troffasky) (UnSoEsNpEaTm(a)ale.cx) 17:28:45 up 73 days, 19:31, 4 users, load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.08 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0 |
