In addition to having all the features of personal internet banking, Heritage Online for Business allows you to securely submit and authorise payroll, creditor and debit batches over the internet.

Heritage Online for Business uses AES encryption as well as Vasco security token devices for the secure upload, authorisation and deletion of batches over the internet. The security tokens also allow a business to create authorisation rules to match their business needs.

One or more of multiple identities may be required to authorise a batch of transactions from different physical locations and this is easily achieved with these tokens and provides greater flexibility for your business. You are also notified automatically via email when a batch is nearing the requested processing date, if you have not yet authorised it.

The virtual (floating) keyboard is an option for you to use when logging into Heritage Online on your desktop computer. The virtual keyboard moves to a different section of the screen after each character is entered. 

The online security environment has changed a lot over the years since we first introduced the floating keyboard. We've continued to add other layers of security and now have an online banking system that protects customers without needing the floating keyboard.

We do know some customers appreciate having the option to keep using the floating keyboard, so it's still available in the desktop version when using Heritage Online.

You can enable or disable accounts for eStatements in the Settings menu of our Mobile Banking App, in the Services menu of Heritage Online or by calling 13 14 22.

Due to legislative requirements, if you have a joint account with a loan or credit account you won't be able to nominate for eStatements online. Please complete and return our eStatement Application for Registration form to update your preferences.

Members using Internet Explorer may experience problems when attempting to view and download eStatements. This issue is due to an option in the browser’s advanced settings that prevents encrypted pages from saving to disk. When this option is selected, any secure downloads will fail.

You can address this issue by making the following temporary change to your browser settings:

Click on “Tools” and select “Internet Options”. In the Internet Options window, select the “Advanced” tab and scroll down to the section on Security. Under this heading you will find the checkbox ‘Do not save encrypted pages to disk’. Ensure that this checkbox is not ticked when attempting to download your eStatement and click on the “OK” button.

For our minimum system requirements for using Heritage Online please view our System and Browser Requirements. 

Our automatic time out feature reduces the chance of an unauthorised party gaining access to your personal information.

This security feature cannot be changed on an individual basis and is applicable to all members.

Pay Anyone is a password feature that allows you to add new internal or external payees. It is an alternative to SMS Security, and allows you to authorise new payees in Heritage Online by entering a set password (rather than a one time password sent to your device).

Heritage Online

In Heritage Online, the Pay Anyone process is streamlined. To perform a transfer to a new destination, simply enter the details of the new destination into the fields provided.

The system will automatically detect that it's a new payee and ask for the appropriate authentication. This will be either a Pay Anyone Password or a One Time Password depending on your settings.

Once the payee is added you can complete the transfer as normal. To learn more about transferring money in Heritage Online you can also watch this helpful how-to video.

Mobile Banking App

Adding a new Heritage or inter-bank payee in our Mobile Banking App is easy. Make sure your device is authenticated before getting started.

1. Go to Move Money on the home screen or in the ☰ menu.
2. Select your from account.
3. Click on the Someone New button and select the type of payee you wish to add.
4. Input your payee's account details and check they are correct. Press continue. 
5. Complete the transfer as normal.

Heritage Online

• Login to Heritage Online.
• Select Transfers from the main menu.
• Select either Manage Heritage Payees or Manage Inter-bank Payees
• Go to the payee you wish to delete and click More Options in the last column.
• Select Delete. A confirmation screen will appear for you to check you've selected the right payee.
• Confirm Yes or No.

Mobile Banking App

When making a payment, select My Payees.

If using an Android device, hold your finger on the payee to delete your selected payee.

Stop a scheduled transfer

If the automatic payment is a scheduled transfer that you set up in Heritage Online, follow these steps to stop the payment. 

Stop a direct debit

A direct debit is an automatic payment set up using your BSB and Account Number with an external merchant such as your gym or utility company.

To stop a direct debit, you may contact us and give us recognised instructions to place a stop on the payment. We will place a stop on all future direct debits from that merchant to ensure no further payments are debited to your account. If there are multiple payments associated with the direct debit and you want some of those payments to continue, you will need to establish a new arrangement for those payments.

Alternatively, you can contact the merchant your direct debit was established with. This will ensure your payment is cancelled within the conditions of your agreement with them.

Dispute a direct debit

If you believe a direct debit to your account was not authorised, you can either:

• contact us and give us recognised instructions to dispute the transaction. We will investigate the transaction and tell you about our findings; or
• contact the direct debit user and dispute the transaction with them.

Stop a recurring card payment

Recurring payments you have authorised by providing your debit or credit card number are different to a direct debit as explained above. To stop a recurring card payment you can contact the merchant who is receiving the payment. This will ensure your payment is cancelled within the conditions of your agreement with them.

Alternatively, Heritage can cancel your card and issue you a card with a different card number. This option would require you to update any other payments you may have set up using your card details.
