AppAuthorise is a security feature required to authorise payments or transfers (performed on HLB Connect Online Banking/Mobile Banking App) that used to require the 6-digit HLB Connect Code (sent via SMS to your mobile number).

 

A notification will be sent to your mobile device with HLB Connect App. Upon tapping on the notification, you will be able to view your transaction details and 'Authorise' or 'Reject' the transaction via HLB Connect App.

Both are IDs that contain 8 numeric characters which will be sent to your email address (registered with the Bank) and are additional verification required on top of the 6-digit HLB Connect Code:

 

  1. Temporary ID will be issued to you when you register for HLB Connect or reset your HLB Connect Username & Password.
  2. Device Activation Code will be issued to you when you link/bind your mobile device to HLB Connect App and enable AppAuthorise.

 

When a request for a Temporary ID or Device Activation Code is triggered, the Bank:

  • Sends you a password to your mobile number to enable you to open the PDF and retrieve your Temporary ID or Device Activation Code.

 

IMPORTANT:

  • Please check your email for the Temporary ID or Device Activation Code. Check your junk mail box too just in case it gets sent there.
  • Ensure that the Security Phrase displayed in the email matches the one displayed on the screen before you key in your Device Activation Code.
  • To avoid delays in receiving this email, please ensure that your device is set to fetch new email/data automatically.
