Hi there @Duffygirl, sorry to hear that. Do you have issues with any other texts or one-time codes?

When you go into phone settings, is your phone number showing correctly?

Thanks,

Tyler

Just from HMRC and my banking that I can't access. The messages are not coming through to log in and access them.

Yes my phone number is showing correctly in settings.

Hi @Duffygirl , I remember seeing this issue recently, and a fellow customer (@Jackie Clowes) was able to help other customers, after finding it wasn’t an issue our end that we could resolve. Please find the answer below:

“I have managed to resolve the problem by visiting my local Co-operative Bank in person after trying all the suggestions on here without any luck. They noticed that my ability to make online payments was no longer enabled and had probably occurred when I switched to ID mobile with a new SIM even though I had retained my old number. This meant that I was blocked from receiving one time passcodes, part of Visa Secure's authentication process when using my debit card online. They reset my access rights manually and they also overwrote my mobile number to ensure it was now recognised. I was able to successfully receive the otp and make an online payment whilst in branch. I have since made several online payments without any issues. I initially tried to sort it by contacting online banking but their advice was incorrect, saying it was the phone provider who needed to "do something" although she didn't know what the "something" was !! Anyone with the same issue I would advise to visit their branch in person. I was fortunate that the guy in branch seemed to know straight away what the issue was. Shame this information hasn't been shared more widely with Co-op bank staff. Another person on here called owlsman was having the same issue. He followed my advice and went to his local branch and managed to get it sorted. Good luck, hope it's sorted soon. “

I hope this can help, please let us know how you get on.
