159 phone number
159 phone number
Intended for use by consumers, 159 provides an easy route back to safety when you get an unexpected phone call about a financial matter. Easy to remember, the short code number now connects customers of more than 99% of the UK’s retail bank current accounts safely and directly with their bank. Unlike many long-form numbers, 159 cannot be spoofed or impersonated.
- Telcos provided a consumer-facing phone service;
- Banks handle the calls;
- Tech sector has given 159 advertising inventory so we can build public awareness.
If every participant had taken only a narrow view of their own returns from 159, it would never have got off the ground – and yet now we believe it will be one of the most powerful tools for helping consumers protect themselves.
