I am in town and need to get online to Barclays Bank but left my PinSentry device at home.

Is there anyone who will lend me a PinSentry for just 15 mins ?

Have laptop will travel.
Happy to even meet in bar with WiFi, and the drink are on me.

Please send PM with phone number.

Yours desperately.
Richard


p.s. Yes, I know there are other routes, but they require a "secret forgotten word", and to get that back you have to use Phone Banking who will not talk to you until you give them the "secret word" - sigh !

Is that the same as the matrix card?

I've never heard of a matrix card, but this is what a PinSentry is:

I have one of those with my NatWest card. The matrix card is a low-tec. alternative. Sorry I can't help.

Colana, thanks for the offer, but I need it in the next 1-3 days.

Whistle, also many thanks. I have sent you a PM, and hopefully we can get together quickly.

Thanks Richard.
Yes, that was going to be my next port of call, but I have actually been "inundated" with very kind offers from some very nice people in Carvoeiro, so I am now pretty much sorted.

So, thanks to all who have sent offers.
I may need it once more, but hopefully my own is being posted to me from the UK.
