Domestic and family violence

Know the signs

If you feel unsafe, call 000. Domestic and family violence is a very complex and personal issue, and can happen to anyone, at any time. We understand it’s not always easy to speak about the difficult times, but we’re here to help with your banking needs.

Abusive transactions

This can occur through someone sending transactions with threatening or coercive descriptions. This can look like:

  • Threats directed at the person receiving the payment or the sender threatening self harm
  • Abusive, degrading, or explicit language
  • Repeated and unwanted requests/comments 
We can help:
  • Keep your privacy safe with high security measures around storing and protecting your personal information
  • Protect your money and help with banking needs including updating your personal details, resetting passwords/PINs and changing online banking access or correspondence settings
  • Safeguard your financial future by arranging new accounts, reviewing your current accounts or helping you access hardship support for financial repayments.
