How to use Hume Connect

First you will need a touch-tone telephone. To test whether you have a touch-tone telephone, lift the handset and press the star “*” button. If you hear a ‘beep’ you will be able to access Hume Connect (if not, you will need to consult your telephone manual regarding tone dialing).

Steps to follow

1. Dial Hume Connect 1300 551 619 (for the cost of a local call).
2. Using your telephone keypad, enter your member number and press the star “*” button. Your member number is the six-digit number printed on the back of your passbook or statement (followed by an account type eg. S10, I3 or L14). You should only enter your member number, not the account type.
3. Enter your telephone access code, followed by the star “*” button. If this is the first time you have used Hume Connect, you will be asked to change this access code to a number of your choice. Select a 4 to 6 digit number (please avoid simple sequences or repeated digits), then press the star “*” button. Hume Connect will ask you to verify your new access code.
4. If you have savings accounts, Hume Connect will automatically give you the balances of these accounts.
5. The main menu of this service will be presented, giving the opportunity to select the service you require using your telephone keypad. The following are the options available.
