Forgotten PIN

If you've forgotten your debit card PIN, you can request a replacement one by calling our Customer Care team on 01228 403 141. We’ll send your replacement PIN by post, which you’ll receive within 5-7 working days (bank holidays will extend this period).

Please note that for security purposes, we cannot provide your PIN details over the phone.

You can also request a replacement PIN in branch. If you would like to withdraw cash from your account, please remember to bring a form of ID with you.

Changing your PIN

You can change your PIN at an ATM. Simply insert your card into the machine, enter your current pin and follow the on screen instructions. The option to change your PIN will usually be found by clicking “Other Services”. Please choose a PIN that can't be easily guessed by others, and be careful not to share it with anyone else.

Internet Banking

You can update your address, email address and/or landline telephone number through your Internet Banking. Log onto Internet Banking, select 'Other Services' from the menu, and then 'Change My Details'. Follow the on-screen instructions, and ensure you have your mobile phone nearby, as we'll verify your request via a text to your registered mobile number.

Send us an email

You can scan or photograph a signed, written request to update your name, address, email or phone number and email this as an attachment to help@cumberland.co.uk .

Request a change by post

If you're unable to visit a branch, we can accept a request to change your details by post. Please include in any correspondence your full name, account number and signature. For any supporting documentation, please send the original or a Solicitor certified stamped copy.

Please address your letter to:

Customer Care Team, Cumberland House, Cooper Way, Parkhouse, Carlisle, CA3 0JF

We cannot currently accept changes to your details over the telephone.

Change of address

We will require your full address including your postcode. You will need to include in any written communications your account number and a copy of identification (e.g. driving license, passport), or if you are changing your details in branch, please bring these along with you. If your account is a joint account, both signatories will need to change their details; however you do not have to come into branch together. We can't change the other account holder’s address without his or her written authority.

Change of name

We will require your new name along with proof of your name change (e.g. Marriage certificate, Decree Absolute, deed poll).

There could be a number of reasons for this:

• The company that you made a payment to may have a different trading name to the business name you know them by. A quick internet search can help identify the company name that you’re more familiar with.
• Do you have a joint account? If so, did the other account holder make the payment?
• Have you recently signed an agreement or contract with a supplier who has then charged you for a service?
• Have you signed up for a free trial that has then become a paid service? Monthly subscriptions are often set up this way.
• Is the amount different to what you were expecting? This can often happen with overseas transactions due to daily changes in exchange rates.
