Troubleshooting tips
If your device is telling you to try the action again: Check your internet connection is strong enough and try moving to another room or waiting a few minutes before attempting the transaction again.
If you’re having issues downloading the App: Check your device is compatible (any smartphone or tablet that uses operating systems iOS 8.0 onwards or Android 4.1 onwards are compatible)
If you’re having issues with scanning the Authentication code: Check your device has got permission to access the camera. Go to your settings and ensure that the camera permissions are 'ON' for the Cynergy Bank Authenticator App
If you're having issues with the authenticator on your device: have you upgraded/changed your device recently? If so then you'll need to reset your app and then register your new device. Details on how to do this are included in the Authenticator App FAQs
If you’re having issues logging in using the App: Is the device you are using only being used by you? You cannot share your device with others to access Online Banking so make sure you are the only one who has registered the App to your device.
If you’re having issues with authenticating and logging in on the same device: Check your device on Private Browsing or Incognito mode. You can change this on your browser settings and ensure this is not selected.
Reset Your Registration: To reset your registration, please contact our Customer Service team.
