AppAuthorise is a security feature required to authorise payments or transfers (performed on HLB Connect Online Banking/Mobile Banking App) that used to require the 6-digit HLB Connect Code (sent via SMS to your mobile number).
A notification will be sent to your mobile device with HLB Connect App. Upon tapping on the notification, you will be able to view your transaction details and 'Authorise' or 'Reject' the transaction via HLB Connect App.

Both are IDs that contain 8 numeric characters which will be sent to your email address (registered with the Bank) and are additional verification required on top of the 6-digit HLB Connect Code:
- Temporary ID will be issued to you when you register for HLB Connect or reset your HLB Connect Username & Password.
