Your cache is like a memory for your browser. If you are having problems loading pages, clearing your browser's cache may fix the problem.

Simply follow the instructions below for the relevant browser you are operating on:

Internet Explorer 6

If you are operating off Internet Explorer 6, you will need to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or higher.

Upgrading is free and is available to download via the Internet Explorer official website.

4. How to upgrade your browser

Failing all the steps above, you may need to update your browser that you are using to ensure that you have the latest version. The security level on some older versions can sometimes create issues and lead to problems as Internet Banking sites are upgraded.

You should always ensure that you are running on the latest version of your browser. You can upgrade to the latest version of your browser for free via the internet. Simply google your browser name to find the relevant page.

How to check you're using the latest security protocols



On 25 May 2010, Easy Street made a change to restrict users of our online services from using an outdated security feature known as SSL 2.0 Protocol. You can check your browser is using the latest protocols by:

  • Upgrading your browser to the most recent version if you haven't already (see above for instructions)
  • Click on the Tools menu and then select Internet Options
  • Go to the Advanced tab
  • Scroll down to the Security options
  • Ensure that 'Use SSL 3.0' and 'Use TLS 1.0' are ticked
