Whilst many of us now own smartphones and computers, Online Banking can be an area that our members need support with when getting started. It provides the convenience to use banking services over the internet in a secure and safe way.
There are many Online Banking benefits you can access as a member of Horizon Bank. In this blog post, we share the top ones.
How do I set up Online Banking? Here's how you can enjoy easy setup and access
Setting up Online Banking is free for Horizon Bank members. You can easily access Online Banking from any desktop, mobile or tablet device. When you open an account with us, our staff will offer you Online Banking access. At this point, you can register for Online Banking, or you can register at a time that suits you by filling out our online form.
To access our Online Banking, select our green online banking button from the right hand side on our website homepage.
When accessing Online Banking from a mobile or tablet device, you’ll be given two options: Mobile Banking and Desktop Banking.
Mobile Banking – is a cut down version of Online Banking, designed to be compatible with your mobile device. You won’t be able to access the full suite of services offered within Online Banking.
Desktop Banking – is the full version of Online Banking. However, you may find it hard to navigate your way around depending on the size of your device.
Which option do I choose?
If you have forgotten your Online Banking password, no problem! If you have a Horizon Bank Visa card, you’ll be able to reset your password by clicking ‘forgot password’ and completing the required fields. Otherwise, contact your local branch during business hours for assistance.

If you would prefer a standard bank transfer, this option is always available and is set as the default transfer option.
For added convenience, you can transfer money to someone using their PayID. This can be in the form of an email address, mobile number, organisation ID or ABN. You can also create and manage your own PayID within our Online Banking. This can then be provided to anyone needing to transfer money to you, provided they use a participating financial institution.
We don’t transfer you to an overseas branch or call centre
