How ASB can help you transform your finances with just your phone

Want to change how you use your money? ASB has an app for that.

- To set up FastPhone call 0800 803 804 or speak to a friendly ASB staff member at a branch.

If you were to ask people about technologi­cal advances that make life easier, they may talk about smartphone­s, computers or even cars.

Yet one of the biggest boosts to easy living in recent years has been the digital transforma­tion of the banking industry and the arrival of online banking apps.

Just think of it. No more lunchtime lines as people rush to get their banking done. No more deposit slips or having to set aside half a day to get into a branch, just to check your balance. No more getting caught short at the weekend and having to wait until Monday morning to withdraw extra cash.

These days ASB’s customers can use the bank’s mobile banking app to access their funds 24 hours a day, seven days a week. ASB’s Mobile Banking app, which can be downloaded on a smartphone or tablet, gives customers quick and easy access to many services. It’s like having your bank in your back pocket.

The ASB Mobile Banking app makes handling your finances quick and easy.

You can set up automatic payments and rent payments, make regular transfers to a savings account or pay bills straight from your smartphone. You can check your balance and statements any time of the day or night and move money between accounts in seconds. Simple.

This app also has strict security measures in place, including a system called Card Control, which lets you put a temporary lock on your ASB Visa Debit or credit card if you misplace it, change the PIN number, and limit the type of transactio­ns the user of the card can make.

Making the switch to ASB’s Mobile Banking app doesn’t mean you go without the friendly, personal service ASB is known for.

The bank has a dedicated phone line for customers aged 65+ or those who need extra help with their banking. Anyone who has questions about how to use the app, or to check if they have completed an online transactio­n correctly can call 0800 272 119 and the friendly ASB team will be happy to help.

If you’d like more support to set up internet banking or mobile banking, an ASB Better Banking Workshop could be just what you need. At these free in-branch workshops, trusted ASB team members show you how to make the transition to online banking and share helpful tips and tricks.

Register for a workshop on asb.co.nz/workshop.

You can download the ASB Mobile Banking app at a workshop or in the App store on an Apple device or Google Play on an Android device. If you are new to online banking you can read more at asb.co.nz/how-to.

Another phone option is the 24/7 FastPhone service. This is a free service which allows you to use your touch-tone phone to get direct access to your accounts at any time of the day or night.
