If you’re looking for a way to manage money on the go, we recommend using this app. This is the most popular option as it allows you to access your account 24/7 wherever you are.
However, if you prefer not to use an app or think that it may not be compatible with your device then there are other options available such as SMS Banking or Cellphone Banking (which requires an SMS PIN).
