You’ll be required to enter two pieces of information when you log in. We ask for the email address you registered your account with and your password. We don’t have a separate username. That’s one less thing to remember!
Forgotten your password?
Not a problem, this is a simple one to fix, just follow these steps:
Head to the sign in page and click the forgot your password link.
Enter the email address you use to log in to your Xe account and we’ll send you a code to verify your identity.
Go to your email inbox and check for an email from us with your code. If it’s not there, try refreshing your inbox or looking in your spam or junk folder.
Return to Xe and enter the code in the box as prompted to activate the password reset function.
Create a new password and you’re all set.
Absolutely. We encourage you to use Touch ID to make your account as secure as possible. Not to mention, it makes it quick and easy to log in and out when using the app!
There’s a few simple steps to follow to activate Touch ID:
Open the app and sign in to your account
Click the Profile icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen
Choose Settings and navigate to Security
Use the slider to turn on Touch ID
We place the highest importance on ensuring the security of your information, which is why we’re using two-factor authentication (2FA). Under two-factor authentication, two forms of ID are required in order to confirm an action. This could be any combination of two out of the three categories below:
• Something you know (e.g. log in details)
• Something you have (e.g. phone)
• Something you are (e.g. fingerprint)
This means, for example, you could access your account using your login details and confirmation of a code sent through to your phone. This tells us that it really is you trying to complete a certain action.
We will ask customers in the UK and Europe to verify a code at login, which we will send in a message to your phone. It’s easy to do, and the instructions will be clear on the website for you. This means that we can confirm it is you, increasing the security of your account.
Please check that the phone number on your account is correct to ensure we send the code to the right number.
Don’t worry – if you forget your password or change your phone number then you will still be able to access your account, simply follow the instructions we provide.
We use 2-factor authentication to keep you and your money as safe as possible. Your phone number is a key form of identification in this process and there may be a time when you wish to change the number you use for this. It’s easy to make this change in the app or on our website and can be done in a matter of minutes.
In the app, click the Profile icon and then select View Profile to access your details. You’ll see an option for Your mobile number and clicking the pencil icon will present you with the option to update your phone number. Please select the appropriate country code and then add your number before hitting save to finish.
If you’re using our website, you’ll find the option to change your contact details by heading to My Account and then the Contact Details page. You can make your changes there by clicking Edit phone. You can provide a landline or mobile number and choose which one is your primary point of contact. Hit save to make the change.
Losing your phone can be a real pain. You might be worried you’ve lost access to your Xe account as you use your mobile number as part of the 2FA login process. Don’t worry. We’ve planned for situations like this and provide alternative methods for accessing your account.
We’ll be able to detect if you’ve lost your old phone and are using a new one to access the app. You’ll always be required to enter your email address and password when you first log in on a new device – this is the first factor of the process. We’ll then send a code to your email address, which acts as the second factor, and you’ll need to successfully enter that code to gain access to your account. This new device will be trusted moving forward.
If you’re using our website, follow your normal route to the login screen. Enter your email address and password but when you get to the security check you’ll notice an option to change your phone number. You’ll be presented with a new screen where you’ll be prompted to tell us your new phone number and required to input a verification code we send to your registered email address. Successfully enter that code and you’ll gain access to your account.
No problem! If you've lost your mobile but have access to a landline then we can use this number for your 2FA. Follow the instructions above to navigate through the login process and choose the change your phone number option. At this stage, instead of entering your mobile number, simply add your landline details and we'll send your verification code there.
