Ways to bank

Instant money & remittances

Send money to anyone with a phone number, in under a minute

Overview

Send money to anyone in the United States using their mobile number or email address, whichever bank they use. If they have no bank account they can collect cash at an HBI ATM or branch using a code sent to their phone.

For international remittances we show the fee and the exchange rate separately, so you can see the full cost of the transfer before you send it.

Why HBI

Every channel does the same job

Whichever way you reach us, you see the same balance and can do the same things. The app, online banking, the ATM network and the branch are four doors into one account.

We build for ordinary conditions: older phones, slow connections and people in a hurry. If something is quicker in the app than at a counter, we will tell you.

Good to know

How we look after you

Three commitments that apply to every ways to bank product, this one included.

We never ask for your PIN

No one from HBI will ask for your password or one-time passcode by phone, email or message. Anyone who does is not us.

Changes apply immediately

Card freezes, limits and payee changes take effect the moment you confirm them, on every channel at once.

Help at any hour

The fraud and lost-card lines are answered at any hour, every day. Everything else has a published opening time and a call-back option.

Questions

Questions clients actually ask

If yours is not here, a banker will answer it directly.

A cash code expires after fourteen days and the full amount, including the fee, returns to your account automatically.

Not always. A payment to a bank account is final once sent, so check the name we show you before you confirm. Never send money to someone you cannot verify.

More than forty countries through our partner network. The destination list and the current fee are shown in the app before you confirm.

$2,500 per transaction and $5,000 per day by default. You can lower it in online banking; raising it requires verification.
