6. General Conditions
6.1. Bank of Heritage Isle App Passcode
When you register for the Bank of Heritage Isle App, you are required to set up a Bank of Heritage Isle App passcode. You can change this passcode at any time, once you have logged into the Bank of Heritage Isle App.
6.2. Protecting your Bank of Heritage Isle App Passcode
You must look after your passcode so as to minimise the risk of allowing it to be used without your authorisation. Below are some guidelines to protect your passcode:
- memorise the passcode as soon as possible;
- use a unique number that is not obvious or can’t be easily guessed (eg. don’t use your date of birth or driver’s licence number); and
- take precautions when using the Bank of Heritage Isle App (eg. don’t let anyone watch you enter your passcode).
- never tell or let anyone find out your passcode – not even family or friends;
- never record a passcode on your device or computer; and
- do not keep a record of the passcode with your device unless you make a reasonable attempt to protect the security of the passcode.
A reasonable attempt to protect the security of a passcode record includes making any reasonable attempt to disguise the passcode within the record, or prevent unauthorised access to the passcode record, including by:
- hiding or disguising the passcode record among other records,
- hiding or disguising the passcode record in a place where a passcode record would not be expected to be found,
- keeping a record of the passcode record in a securely locked container, or
- preventing unauthorised access to an electronically stored record of the passcode record.
These guidelines provide examples only of security measures and will determine your liability for any losses resulting from unauthorised transactions. Liability for such payments will be determined in accordance with the ePayments Code (where applicable) and the Access Methods Terms and Conditions.
6.3. Other things you must do

7.5. Suspension or termination
We may suspend or terminate your use of the Bank of Heritage Isle App without notice at any time eg. if we suspect unauthorised transactions have occurred or that the Bank of Heritage Isle App is being misused.
7.6. Reporting Lost and Stolen Cards
Cancelling your card through the Lost and Stolen process, using the Bank of Heritage Isle App, does not mean that you have disputed any unauthorised transactions made on your account. Call us right away if you need to report any unauthorised transactions.
The report lost or stolen function is reliant on computer and/or telecommunications systems. Disruptions to these systems may result in the report of damaged and lost or stolen functions being unavailable from time to time.
Whilst we make every attempt to decline transactions once you have completed the lost/stolen process, some transactions may still go through eg. transactions that are not sent to us for authorisation including some contactless payments or transactions processed when there is a system interruption. If you identify any unauthorised transaction you can lodge a dispute with us.
Reporting a card as lost/stolen will cause all transactions against the card to be declined including any recurring payments linked to your Bank of Heritage Isle Visa Debit card and/or your Bank of Heritage Isle Low Rate Visa Credit card.
The cardholder can report their card lost or stolen using the report lost/stolen function, however, the settings will only apply to the card(s) held by that cardholder.

When you login using Biometric login, you instruct us to perform those transactions.
You can delete any of the Biometric identifiers you store on your phone at any time by going into your phones settings.
If you lose your phone, you must notify us as soon as possible.
We also recommend that you enable a screen lock on your phone, in addition to the Bank of Heritage Isle App Passcode, to prevent unauthorised access to your phone and the app.
Your phone Passcode and your app Passcode must not be the same number.
