Why do we need your mobile number?

We send a code to your mobile number so we can verify that it’s you. Just when you first register for the App. Though codes are also used for other tasks too.

App vs internet banking

With our app you can do the banking you’d expect, like transfer money, pay bills and see your transaction history. There's a lot more you can do if you’d like to learn about app features. 

To access more complex services, log in to internet banking – which is also mobile friendly.

Or you can log in and see your balance by selecting ‘Balance’ in the footer menu.

How to transfer money to someone else 

The beauty of the app is being able to transfer money wherever you are. You can add new payees and pay them using their account number or PayID.

How to transfer money between your accounts

You can quickly and easily transfer money between your own accounts in the app, wherever you are.
