Online banking user permissions

You can give your team members access to your business accounts in online banking with our default role types. These roles have a fixed set of permissions, allowing individuals access to different services within online and mobile banking.

Role types: 

By appointing users to the account, you give them authority to instruct Allica on the account holder’s behalf in accordance with the following permission levels:

The initial user, being the individual who submits the account application, will be assigned the role of ‘Super User’ and subsequent users will be assigned ‘Online access’ by default.

If the Super User would like to vary a user’s permission level, this can be done via online banking or by contacting us (via your relationship manager or calling us on 0330 094 3333). There must always be at least one ‘Super User’ in relation to the account.
