Mobile banking


  • Can I access my accounts through a mobile app?

  • How do I update the transfer limit of my delegate(s)?

    If a primary account owner makes an update to their daily transfer limit amount, this change will not adjust the amount of your delegate(s). To adjust the transfer limit of your delegates, you will need to update the overall daily limit permission within their profile, following the steps below:

     

    1. Log into to online banking
    2. Click ‘Users’ and ‘Users’ on the main navigation
    3. A list of delegate(s) will appear
    4. Under ‘Action’ select the three dots on the right and select ‘Permissions’
    5. A list of accounts will appear; select the down arrow 
    6. In the ‘Overall daily limit for this Account’ field, adjust the amount
    7. Select ‘Save’ at the bottom of the screen

     

    To finalise the update to the transfer limit, the delegate will need to log in to online banking, and update the limit on their end using the steps below:

     

    1. Click ‘Other services’ on the main navigation and select ‘My profile’
    2. Select ‘Limits’ in the tab 
    3. Under ‘Action’ select the three dots and select ‘Edit’
    4. Enter your new limit and select ‘Update’. If the limit has been raised, we’ll confirm the change by sending the delegate a SMS confirmation code to enter
    5. Select ‘Submit’ to finalise the new limit.

Delegated User Authority (DUA)


  • What is delegated user authority?

    The primary use of DUA is for account holders who wish to delegate access for another person to act on their behalf using online banking. As a delegator, you are able to select the permissions that the delegated user will have, and are therefore responsible for the actions they perform on the account.

  • Who can create a delegated user?

    A delegated user may be created by any client who is an account holder or signatory for one or more entity accounts. The delegated user is given a relationship to the nominated entity and will not be connected to all entities of the client.

  • Is there an application form?

    Yes, to set up a delegated user, the account holder/signatory and delegate must complete the Delegated User Nomination form.

  • Is anybody eligible to become a delegated user?

    A delegated user may be an existing or non-existing client. However, you cannot nominate a current signatory of an entity account as a delegated user. A signatory already has the maximum level of permissions of a delegate. 

     

    If the account holder still wishes to appoint the signatory as a delegated user, they will need to remove them by completing the Amendment to Account Signatory form which can be obtained by calling our Client Service Centre on 1300 160 160.

  • What levels of access can I give a delegated user?

    An account holder/signatory can choose from a number of different levels of access for each function (e.g. Direct Debit, BPAY, eStatements, etc.) within an account and for each delegated user:

     

    None: No access to function or ability to transact.

    View: View details of function however no ability to transact.

    Create: Limited ability to transact – requires authorisation before payment is processed.

    Execute: Full access with function, and ability to transact without authorisation.

     

    Similarly, each account can be set up to have a daily limit. The account holder cannot grant a delegated user greater Online Banking access rights than the delegator’s own access rights. If signing instructions are 2 (or more) to sign, a second signatory must approve the permission levels set up by the first signatory.

  • What should I do if I currently have a user with a view-only relationship on my account?

    Your existing view only access relationship will no longer be supported in the new online banking platform and will be replaced by DUA (of which you may give them ‘View’ access level). 

     

    As there is greater flexibility in what the delegated user can or cannot do, you will first need to set up their access levels. To do this, you can go to the ‘Users’ tab in Home screen, select your delegate user from the list, and choose ‘Permissions’. You will need to customise the access levels for each account as this is now controlled on account level. 

  • Can a delegated user access secure messages?

    Yes, a delegated user has access to the secure messages function. However, the secure messages of the account holder/signatory and delegate are independent from each other. The delegate will not be able to see any secure messages sent from the account holder/signatory to the bank. 

  • If I am an account holder, how will I know when a transaction is pending authorisation?

    Account holders/signatories can be notified of any pending authorisation requests via secure messages, email (via the email address registered for the client), SMS (via the mobile number registered for the client) and the notifications area on the home screen.

  • What limits apply to a delegated user?

    There are three limits that apply to a delegated user. The account holder’s overall daily limit, the delegated user’s overall daily limit, and the daily limit applied to each account of the delegate’s access levels (set up by the account holder). As the delegated user cannot have greater access rights than the account holder, the lowest of the three applies.
