Identification
You will be required to provide identification in accordance with the ID check when you are opening a new account or becoming signatory to an account.
Why we need your Tax File Number (TFN)
It is not compulsory to provide your TFN but if you choose not to provide this or evidence of your tax file number exemption status, or if you are a non-resident, we are required by law to deduct:
- Tax from any interest earned on your account at the maximum personal tax rate.
- The Medicare levy.
Note: If you are opening a joint account we will require the TFN for each account holder.
