Online banking user permissions 

hero-simple-shape

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: 

User role 

Permission level 

 

View only

Read only access to view transactions and data in relation to the account. 

Online access 

 

Able to initiate and view all transactions and data in relation to the account.  

 

Approver 

Able to initiate and view all transactions and data in relation to the account, and authorise payments.  

 

Super User 

Full access to the account, including but not limited to initiating and viewing transactions and data, authorising payments, and adding or amending other users and their permission levels. 

Custom 

Tailored access configured to meet your unique business needs.


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.
