Do not enter your regular account password here as it won't work. - Log back in to the app once more. Success - your mobile phone or tablet is now linked to your Zempler account as a trusted device and you’ll be able to log in.

Yes, you can use the same device to manage multiple accounts. You’ll need to connect the device to each account individually by signing into the account via the app and setting it as trusted.
If you can’t use the app, you’ll need to purchase a physical Code Key which will generate the verification code you need to log into Online Banking.
If you’re the primary cardholder for more than one Zempler account, you’ll need to purchase a Code Key for each account.
- The easiest way to check you have the latest version is by visiting the Zempler Bank app page in the App Store or Google Play, and checking if it says to 'open' or 'update' the app. It will also have the latest version number.
If you can’t access or use the Zempler Bank app, it could be that your device is using an older operating system that’s not compatible with the latest version of our app. You can either:
- Update the operating system on your device. Go to the ‘Settings’ screen, look for the software update function and follow the instructions. Once your device has updated, launch our app as usual and it should work automatically. If you don't want to update the operating system or can’t because it isn’t compatible with your device, you’ll need to use a different device to access the app.
- Request a Code Key that you can use instead of the app to generate the verification code you need to log in to Online Banking. If you’d like us to send you a Code Key just call our Customer Service team. Once ordered we’ll get your Code Key to you within ten working days and then all you need to do is activate it.
