Ways to bank

Mobile banking app

The whole bank, in about four megabytes

Overview

The HBI app does everything online banking does, plus the things that only make sense on a phone: tap to pay, mobile check deposit, cardless ATM withdrawals and biometric sign-in.

It is deliberately small and works on an older phone over a weak signal, because a banking app that only works on a flagship phone is not a banking app.

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.

Very little — a typical session uses under 200KB, so it works where the signal is weak.

Your biometric data never leaves your device and we never see it. The device confirms the match and releases a credential bound to that device.

Call us and we deregister the device immediately. Your account is not accessible from a deregistered device even with your password.

Yes, up to three devices. Each must be verified separately with a one-time passcode, and you can remove any of them from online banking.
