Registration details you need for different account types
Trouble registering?
Make sure to check the following:
1. You are entering the correct details (card number, expiry and CVV)
2. Your User ID has at least one letter and one number and is between 8-16 characters long
3. Your Password follows security rules
- Must be at least 8 characters long with a maximum of 16 characters
- Must have at least one number and one letter
- Cannot have three of the same characters
- Cannot have three of the same characters in a row, e.g. aaa, 333
- Cannot have three consecutive characters, e.g. 123, abc
- Cannot be the same as your User ID
- Use of special characters is recommended, e.g. $, +, ?’
- Cannot be the same as your previous Passwords.
To choose a high-level security Password, it is recommended that you:
- Do not create a Password that can be easily identifiable with you, e.g. that contains your name, date of birth, email address etc
- Do create a Password that only you can easily remember but that will be meaningless to anyone else. Choose a phrase or a combination of words, that makes the Password easier to remember, eg: cmp/w@le30ds = change my password at least every 30 days
- Do create a Password longer than the minimum required, e.g. use 12 characters in lieu of the minimum 8
- Do not use single words that can be found in any dictionary
- Cannot have three consecutive characters, e.g. 123, abc
- Once created, never share your password or write it down - commit it to memory!
