What is the Access Code?

The Access Code is a code composed by 7 digits that allows access to the App, website, Automatic Service and Support Line services, making it possible to perform transactions in every account the Client has.

Clients should not have an Access Code that can be easily memorized by others and must change it periodically on our website activobank.pt in Setup.

Activobank.pt will never request, at any time and at the same time, more than 3 digits of your Multichannel Access Code. Any request in that sense should be considered fraud and must be immediately reported to: 210 030 700.
