Register for My Account
All customers will need to register for the new My Account
Whether you use the previous My Account or not, all customers will need to register for the new online system, My Account. This will allow you to get the best use of the app.
To register, you will need your:
- full name
- email address
- mobile number
- date of birth
- reference number (application or payment)
Application (bidding) reference: This is the reference number customers are given when a housing application has been successfully completed and submitted.
Payment reference: This number will appear on all of your rent statements. Your payment reference is a seven digit combination that will end in an alphabetic character.
You will only need one reference, not both. If you need help getting your reference, please get in touch.
Please note, you can register without your reference number, but you will need to ‘create a connection’ to your details later within the app.
Register for the updated My Account, you can download as an app, or register through our webpage:
The app will be available on iOS (Apple) shortly too. However, don't delay, please register for the new My Account system and we will update you when the app is available for download.
