You need a card reader to add new payees.
This is why I use HSBC for day to day stuff. The additional layer of security is good but very inconvenient.
While you're waiting for your card reader to arrive, you can ring the telephone banking team on 08457 888 444 (01274 394611 is the same service and may be free depending on your telco deal). They will be able to order a reader for you, as well as add any payees and make transfers over the phone.
I tried that and they couldnt help me - think you can only do it using card reader now
Extra security and a little inconvenience = good idea.
16 numbers is easy to remember, just break it down.It can go too far though. My gf has opened a new account with Tesco's I beleive.
So far she has received a dongle calculator thing, a user id, a user pin number and a first time pin number.
All of them are 16 charactors long and are impossible to memorise so she has to keep them written down which kinda defeats the point.

I disagree. It's not convenient to carry my card reader around with me so that I can make transfers from home or work. I make a lot of transfers so this pretty much renders this account useless for everyday use. I'll therefore use my HSBC account which doesn't require a card reader.

I bet you carry your phone everywhere... and your wallet... and possibly a diary, hell probably an iPod or similar.
All of the above are bigger than the card reader (except if it's an iPod nano )
Stop talking out of your arse for the sake of a petty point.
