FAQs
Setup & registration
Is it safe to use my mobile device for banking?
Using your mobile for internet banking is as secure as using internet banking from your computer. You can also use SMS authentication to add an extra layer of security.
After logging into the Hume Bank App, you’ll remain logged in for up to 15 minutes after your last transaction. Reopening the app within this time will not require you to re-enter your PIN.
How do I log in to the app?
The first time you log in to the Hume Bank App, you’ll need your customer number and online banking password. Then you can set up a PIN, pattern, or facial recognition (iOS only) for future access.
What is PIN login, how do I use it, and is it safe?
During registration, you will be given the option to select how you want to securely log in to the Hume Bank App. You can choose from using your customer number and online banking password or creating a PIN, pattern, or facial recognition (iOS only). You can enable, disable, or change this feature at any time through the app settings.
When choosing or changing your PIN or pattern, make sure it’s not easy to guess or easily connected to you (e.g. consecutive numbers or your date of birth).
I forgot my password/PIN, how do I reset it?
To reset your PIN or pattern, select ‘Forgot your PIN/Pattern’ then follow the prompts to enter your customer number and online banking password.
If you have forgotten your online banking password, you can reset it through the password reset tool in iBank. If you still need help, call 1300 004 863 or visit us in branch.
What is Quick Balance, and how do I switch it on/off?
Quick Balance allows you to view the available balance of your default account without needing to log in to the Hume Bank App.
You can assign your default account by setting up Quick Balance in settings or from the home screen. If no default account is selected, Quick Balance will not be displayed.
You can switch Quick Balance on or off at any time in the app settings or by selecting ‘Manage’ under your Quick Balance.
Do I need to register for SMS authentication?
You do not need to register for SMS authentication to access the Hume Bank App, however some higher risk functions will be unavailable without it.

Why is my external transfer failing?
A number of factors may prevent you from making external transfers from the Hume Bank App. We have listed the most common issues, along with their solutions, below:
- You have not registered for SMS authentication
To keep your account secure the app will not allow you to externally transfer any amount to a new payee until you have registered for SMS authentication. You can set this up in iBank by going to My Options and then Security Device - You have not set a daily external transfer limit
If you have not deliberately assigned a daily external transfer limit the limit will be set to zero. You can set a new limit by calling 1300 004 863 or visiting us in branch – remember to bring a valid ID - You have reached your daily external transfer limit
If you have set your daily external transfer limit, you may have reached it for that day. Please try again the following day. You can increase your limit by calling 1300 004 863 or visiting us in branch – remember to bring a valid ID - There are insufficient funds in your account
Check that the account you are transferring from has sufficient ‘available balance’ (indicated when you select that account during the transfer process)
- You have not registered for SMS authentication
Can I access the Hume Bank App overseas?
Yes. However, while Hume Bank doesn’t charge any fees to access the app overseas, your usual roaming charges will apply unless you are connected to a WiFi network. To find out more, please contact your mobile service provider.
How can I find the interest rate and repayment details of my loan account?
