Search Instantly

Sometimes, it’s very hard to find exactly what you’re looking for. HBL Mobile Banking introduced a new way for you to search for information in your HBL Mobile App.

With this new search mode, called In Apps Search, you can quickly find content from installed apps. To access this feature, go to the "More" menu at the top right corner you will the search bar at the top of your mobile screen.

Lock Account Dashboard

Without an option to hide your account balance in the app, anyone behind you or in front of your phone can see confidential private information, easily. The only way to avoid this would be to use your hand to cover account balance and that’s just not enjoyable to do while trying to do other things on the app.
