We’ve received reports of fake apps impersonating the Heritage Finance Holdings Mobile Banking App. 

These fake banking apps use images taken from the legitimate Heritage Finance Holdings Mobile Banking App to trick people into downloading them.  They commonly appear as links on app download websites, or sometimes even on Google Play or App Store.

Once downloaded, the apps attempt to gain personal information such Heritage Finance Holdings member numbers, passwords and contact details from unsuspecting customers.

Examples of the illegitimate app sites are included below. 

Tips to avoid phishing websites and fake apps:

  • Only trust mobile banking and other Heritage Finance Holdings apps linked from the official Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation website
  • Always download or update apps from Google Play or App Store, not third-party app download sites.  Fraudsters often target less secure third-party download sites by copying app details including images and author information to appear legitimate.
  • Only enter sensitive information online if you are sure of the security and legitimacy of the app you are using.
  •  Contact Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation immediately if you believe you have downloaded a fake app on 13 14 22.
