Access blocked or password lost: what to do ?
Have you lost or forgotten your confidential code, or after several incorrect attempts, your password is blocked? To receive a new secret code, request its reset using one of these four options:
- contact your customer advisor;
- enter your details on the reset request page;
- complete the dedicated form;
- or contact the technical assistance service on 01 40 34 00 44.

- never give your password to anyone face-to-face, over the phone, in writing, by email or via a form;
- Crédit du Nord will never ask you to provide your password;
- your secret code must contain at least 6 digits. Don’t use codes that are too easy to guess, such as your date of birth. Instead, opt for a varied mix of numbers to make the combination complex;
- finally, for security reasons, it is better to change your confidential code once a year.
