Using multiple devices

You can set up the personal BNZ app on four devices at a time, and you can set up the Mobile Business Banking app on two devices.

Security

Our mobile app protects your data using two different types of security: your login details, and your five-digital PIN or a biometric login (using your fingerprint or face).

• Never give anyone your five-digit PIN or write it down.
• Always log out of your app when you’re finished.
• If possible, use mobile data instead of public Wi-Fi when doing your online banking.
• We’ll never ask you to tell us (or anyone else) your password.
