SIX FIGURE CONBFIRMATION CODES - NO MOBILE SIGNAL

I have a Saga savings account from which I tried to draw money on Tuesday for the first time. Saga required me to enter a 6-figure code which it sent by text. Our mobile signal here is very poor and after several requests to 're-send', all the codes arrived the middle of the night. By then, the account was frozen. I was told that I will have to phone every time that a code does not arrive - which will be nearly always. Can your recommend a good savings account which does not require these codes? I have been told that Cynergy doesn't. There must be others. I will transfer my account. Thanks.

Is there an option for your Saga codes to be sent to a landline number?0

I've used Chip for the past couple of months for quite a few deposits and withdrawals - never been sent a code by text, not sure they even have this option. I've also used Al Rayan and Zopa and don't remember getting text codes from them when withdrawing money, although I haven't used them recently.'Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.

Cynergy require you to use an authenticator app on your mobile and then send it a 6 figure code. Not any good for you methinks.0

Of the top-paying easy access accounts available at the moment, I know that Principality (limited access) and Shawbrook do require codes to be sent via text. The Yorkshire BS use text but also have a 'call' option so you can presumably arrange an automated call to your landline if necessary, although I haven't used that option myself. I don't have any accounts with the Family Building Society so can't advise on their requirements.
Off the top of my head, other banks that don't require security codes to be texted are Atom, Chase, Zopa and Ford Money although the easy access rates from some of those are lagging behind the best at the moment.1 -
Many of the app-based banks don't use OTP for transactions but one or two do send one OTP as part of the account opening process.
I do empathise with you. The only reliable signal in our house is in one corner of the kitchen so you have to leave the phone there, come back to the PC, trigger the OTP then go and get the phone. It's not exactly efficient.1 -
