Nationwide: does anyone logon with the card reader?

glider3560

As the Nationwide online banking has used the card reader logon for a little while now, I was wondering if anyone actually uses it to login?

I always click the alternative option and just use my passwords.

Does anyone choose to use the card reader? If yes, is there a reason why?

I don't... I hate the whole card reader carp... I don't want to have to carry the stupid card reader around with me all the time...

I think its Halifax that instead take your mobile number and ring / text you with the verification code... much better IMHO.

I can never find one when I need it.

Lloyds do the mobile phone or home phone number thing too.

No - I always use the Memorable data instead. I find the display on the card reader difficult to deal with and so will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. Though I suspect they will drop the Memorable option at some time in the future.

yes, I always use it, but that's mainly because I have a cardreader built into my computer.

No don't use it, if I am forced to use it, I will close my accounts.

No ..............

I do if I have bills to pay. If you log in using the card reader it doesn't ask you to verify each transaction with a passcode.

Bit of a harsh knee jerk reaction.
kinda like i'll throw all my toys outa my pram if you make me put mittens on.
I personally dont see the problem with it. Its call added security and Im up for anything that can improve the security of my money when I log in to my accounts.

Not at all, I have accounts with other banks that manage very well without using some cheap and nasty card reader.

I am free to use whichever bank that I choose.

I assume that you have spare batteries for your card reader?

I use it everytime but i suppose i have got used to using the barclays one as i have an account with them too.

Just wish that the readers were inter changable its a pain carrying 2 around.
