Wholesale Investors

NAB Corporate Cheque Account is only available to Wholesale Investors

Part A terms and conditions

The NAB Corporate Cheque Account is an at-call transaction deposit account that is designed for Corporate and Institutional customers and only available to Wholesale Investors.

1. How will your account work?

1.1 You may deposit any amount and you may withdraw up to the available credit funds from the account or, if the account has an overdraft facility, up to the approved overdraft limit. Proceeds of any cheque or other item will usually not be available until the cheque or other item is cleared. If we make the proceeds of a cheque or other item available prior to the cheque or other item being cleared and the cheque or other item subsequently fails to clear, we will debit the corresponding amount from your account.

1.2 There is no minimum account balance which must be maintained.

1.3 You may withdraw from the account at any NAB outlet, subject to you providing suitable identiﬁcation.

1.4 NAB will provide a cheque book to access the account unless you advise NAB that a cheque book is not required. From 3 March 2023 NAB will only provide replacement cheque books to customers already using cheque books. New cheque book access will not be provided after 3 March 2023.

1.5 If you apply for and NAB agrees to give you an overdraft facility with the account, the overdraft facility will be subject to NAB standard terms and conditions for the facility which will be provided to you at the time. Additionally, NAB may, having regard to its legitimate business interests and its prudential and regulatory obligations allow you to overdraw the account:

(a) if you do not have an approved overdraft limit, to any amount permitted by NAB acting reasonably from time to time; or

(b) if you do have an approved overdraft limit, to any amount permitted by NAB acting reasonably from time to time, beyond the amount of that limit.

1.6 If clause 1.5(a) applies, you may be charged overdrawn debit interest. If clause 1.5(b) applies, you may be charged interest in accordance with the terms and conditions of your overdraft facility. In both situations, you may also incur any applicable Dishonour charges, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure 'Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges' available from NAB at any time. You should monitor your account balance regularly to ensure that you do not exceed your overdraft limit.

2. What interest will you receive/pay?

2.1 The interest rate applicable to the account will either be:

(a) a single rate applicable to the whole of the credit balance; or

(b) a separate rate applicable to each tier of the credit balance. For example:

Tier 1: up to $500,000 = base rate + margin 1

Tier 2: $500,000 to $1,000,000 = base rate + margin 2

Tier 3: over $1,000,000 = base rate + margin 3

Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance. Those rates will also fluctuate. The level of account balance and the rates applicable on them are as notified to you at the time you open your account as disclosed in the 'NAB Corporate Cheque Account – Fees and Charges Flyer'. They are also available from NAB at any time.

2.2 The interest rate(s) applicable to your account are a combination of both:

(a) a base rate and

(b) a margin.

2.3 The interest rate(s) applicable to the account, including the margin, are quoted by your NAB Banker upon application, and accepted by you at that time. The rate(s) are conﬁrmed to you at the time the account is opened.

2.4 The base rate is a variable interest rate and is subject to change. The base rate is as disclosed in the ‘NAB Corporate Cheque Account – Fees and Charges Flyer’.

2.5 Your margin is subject to change at NAB’s reasonable discretion under clause 18 of these terms and conditions. NAB will notify you of a change to this margin in accordance with the terms and conditions.

2.6 NAB will pay interest calculated on the daily credit balance of the account as at the end of each day (AEST/AEDT) up to and including the day before the last banking day of each month. Interest will be credited to the account the next banking day. The interest rate applies to the whole of the credit balance that exceeds the credit interest threshold (if applicable). When more than one rate applies to your account, the applicable rate applies to the applicable tier of your account balance.

2.7 If the account is overdrawn without an approved overdraft limit, you must put the account in credit promptly (but in any event within 3 Banking Days) and must pay NAB interest on the amount overdrawn at the overdrawn debit interest rate charged by NAB for the account from time to time. The overdrawn debit interest rate is detailed in the Fee Advice and available at nab.com.au. You will be notified of any change to the overdrawn debit interest rate in accordance with clause 18.2. It is also available from NAB from time to time.

The interest is calculated on the daily debit balance of the account as at the end of each day (AEST/AEDT) and will be charged to the account on the last banking day of each month.

You may also incur any applicable Dishonour charges, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure ‘Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges’ available from NAB at any time.

How we determine your end of day balance for non-banking days

2.8 When determining the end of day balance on your account for the purpose of calculating interest, transactions which occur on non-banking days (for example, NPP Payments made or received on a non-banking day) are treated as having been made on the next banking day and will be recorded on your statement as having occurred on that next banking day. So, your end of day balance for a non-banking day will be the same as the end of day balance for the preceding banking day.

3. When will I receive statements?

3.1 NAB will send you statements of the account at least 6 monthly, unless you request otherwise.

4. What bank fees are applicable to this account?

4.1 NAB may debit the account with account fees and other standard service fees, the amount and nature of which are detailed in the Fee Advice available from your NAB Banker at any time.

5. What electronic access options are available?

5.1 You may arrange for the account to be linked to your NAB Debit Card, NAB Low Rate Business Card*, or NAB Business Visa Debit Card.

5.2 You may arrange to access the account through NAB Connect, Direct Link, Telephone or Internet Banking or similar service provided by NAB, such access will be governed by NAB standard terms and conditions relating to the service. If you do not have these please contact your NAB Banker for a copy.

6. Payment Facilities

Cheques

If NAB provides you with cheque access to your account, the terms and conditions in clauses 6.1 – 6.8 apply to your use of cheques.

6.1 General Provisions

(a) Each cheque must be completed properly and with due care so as to avoid fraudulent alteration and in accordance with the account authority you give NAB.

(b) You must notify NAB immediately on  13 10 12  if you have any cause whatsoever to suspect that a cheque drawn on your account has been forged or fraudulently altered in any way or has been drawn in whole or in part without authority from you.

(c) You must take reasonable care and precautions to prevent unauthorised, stolen, forged or fraudulently altered or drawn cheques being presented to NAB.

(d) You must have in place adequate systems and procedures to prevent unauthorised, stolen, forged or fraudulently altered or drawn cheques being presented to NAB.

(e) You must have in place, and implement, adequate systems and procedures by which you can ascertain within a reasonable time whether your account is being debited with amounts not authorised by you.

(f) You must keep cheque forms issued to you in a safe place and you must notify NAB immediately on 13 10 12  if they are lost, stolen or misused.

(g) When a cheque is drawn on your account, it will, when the cheque is handed to NAB:

(i) be deemed to be a request by you to NAB to withdraw funds from your account for the amount shown on the cheque; and

(ii) NAB will pay those funds to the payee, endorsee, holder, bearer, depositor or presenter of the cheque or that person’s bank.

(h) If there are not enough ‘cleared funds’ in your account when the cheque is presented for payment, NAB may, acting in good faith, dishonour or pay the cheque at its discretion. This may result in your account being overdrawn. You may also incur any applicable Dishonour charges, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure ‘Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges’ available from NAB at any time. You must monitor your accounts to ensure that you have sufficient funds to meet your payment arrangements. NAB will notify you if a debit is dishonored or otherwise not made.

(i) NAB may pay a cheque drawn on your account notwithstanding that it is a stale cheque within the meaning of the Cheques Act 1986.

(j) NAB may pay a post-dated cheque drawn on your account at any time before the date of the cheque arrives.

(k) The person signing the cheque must:

(i) sign any alterations;

(ii) date the cheque the date on which it was signed; and

(iii) complete the details.

(l) If, when checking any cheque or particulars of any cheque, NAB finds on it any irregularity or omission, NAB may, acting in good faith, dishonour payment of the cheque on your behalf.

6.2 Stopping payment on a cheque

(a) You may stop payment on a cheque before it has been paid. You may call NAB on 13 10 12, or notify us at any NAB outlet either in person or by phone.

(b) If you are a user of NAB Connect you can submit a request to stop payment on a cheque through NAB Connect.

(d) No matter how you choose to notify NAB it is important to tell NAB quickly if you want to stop payment. You will be required to provide:

(i) your account name and number;

(ii) the cheque number and amount;

(iii) the date of the cheque; and

(iv) to whom the cheque is payable.

(e) NAB may charge a fee for stopping payment on a cheque, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure 'Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges'  available from NAB at any time.

6.3 Dishonoring cheques

(a) Your cheque may be returned unpaid or dishonoured in certain circumstances, such as where:

(i) there are not enough available funds in your account or your overdraft limit is not enough to cover the cheque;

(ii) there is some irregularity or omission with your cheque, for example your cheque is unsigned, is more than 15 months old, is post-dated (e.g. bears a date that has not arrived), or has been materially altered (e.g. by a change to the amount originally stated on it) and you have not signed the alteration;

(iii) you have instructed NAB to stop payment of your cheque; or

(iv) NAB has received notice of your mental incapacity or of your death.

(b) You may also incur a Dishonour Fee, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure 'Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges' available from NAB at any time.

6.4 Effect of crossing

(a) If you cross a cheque you are telling NAB not to cash it over the counter. The cheque must be paid to a bank (e.g. into a customer’s account).

(b) If NAB does cash the cheque, it may be liable for any loss suffered by the true owner.

(c) A cheque is crossed by drawing across the face of the cheque from top to bottom two parallel lines, with or without the words ‘not negotiable’ between them. A crossing may be added by you when you make a cheque or by any person who obtains possession of your cheque.

6.5 Meaning of ‘not negotiable’

(a) The words ‘not negotiable’ between two parallel lines across the face of a cheque mean that, where the cheque is transferred, the person who obtains the cheque has no greater rights than the person who transferred it to him or her. For example, your cheque might be stolen and then passed on by the thief to another person.

(b) That person might then obtain payment of the cheque. In this case, if the cheque was crossed and marked ‘not negotiable’, the person from whom the cheque is stolen might recover the amount of the cheque from the person who obtains payment of the cheque, even though the person who has obtained payment may not have done anything wrong.

6.6 Meaning of ‘account payee only’

(a) These words on a cheque are a warning to the bank with which the cheque is deposited that the cheque should be paid only to the person named in the cheque as payee. If NAB pays a different person, NAB may be liable to the true owner, unless NAB has acted in good faith and without negligence (e.g. by making enquiries and receiving reasonable explanation).

(b) The words ‘account payee only’ do not prevent the transfer of a cheque.

6.7 Signiﬁcance of deleting ‘or bearer’

(a) Cheques are generally printed with the words ‘or bearer’ appearing at the end of the line on which you put the name of the person to be paid.

(b) The words ‘or bearer’ mean that (except where the cheque is crossed), the bank on which the cheque is drawn has authority to pay the cheque to any person in possession of the cheque, even if that person found or stole it, unless NAB has reason to suspect that the cheque might have fallen into the wrong hands.

(c) If you wish to alter this position by making the cheque an ‘order’ cheque, the simplest course is to cross out the words ‘or bearer’ which are printed on the cheque. Also, you may wish to add the words ‘to the order of’ before the name of the payee, but you will still need to cross out the words ‘or bearer’.

(d) If the cheque is an ‘order’ cheque, then (except in cases where the cheque is crossed and must therefore be collected by a bank) the bank on which the cheque is drawn should only pay it:

(i) to the named payee; or

(ii) to any other person to whom the named payee, by endorsing the cheque on the reverse side, has ordered it to be paid.

6.8 Unauthorised alteration of your cheques

(a) When you write a cheque, you should take care to reduce the opportunity for forgery and fraud. You have a duty to complete the cheque so as not to mislead NAB or make it easy for someone else to alter your cheque.

(b) Ways to assist you to correctly complete a cheque are:

(i) do not leave gaps between the words or ﬁgures;

(ii) begin the amount in words as close as possible to the left-hand side;

(iii) begin the amount in ﬁgures as close as possible to the dollar sign ($);

(iv) never write a cheque in pencil or ink that can be rubbed out;

(v) never sign a cheque before it is used or ﬁlled out; and

(vi) always write the amount of the cheque in words as well as ﬁgures, because words are harder to alter without your authority.

6.9 When is a cheque ‘cleared’?

(a) Clearing a cheque involves several steps which may take, in normal circumstances, up to 3 working days.

(b) The steps involved in clearing a cheque are usually:

(i) you deposit a cheque you have received into your NAB account;

(ii) NAB will seek payment of the cheque from the bank on which the cheque is drawn (the two banks could be the same); and

(iii) that bank will pay the proceeds of the cheque to NAB. Only after the completion of these steps will the cheque be cleared.

(c) Normally you will not be able to withdraw the value of a cheque you deposit until the cheque is cleared, even though your account will be immediately credited with the proceeds of the cheque. This rule applies even to cheques made payable to ‘cash’.

(d) If a cheque you have deposited is dishonoured NAB will advise you. NAB will also reduce the balance of your account by the amount of the cheque already credited.

6.10 Third party cheques

If you present a cheque which is payable to someone else or it appears to belong to someone else (third party cheque), NAB may, acting in good faith, refuse to accept that cheque for deposit or refuse to cash it or may require you to comply with some conditions before it will accept that cheque for deposit or cash it.

6.11 Bank cheques

(a) Bank cheques are cheques instructing payment from the bank itself rather than from a customer’s account. They are designed to provide an alternative to carrying large amounts of cash when a personal cheque is not acceptable.

(b) Bank cheques are usually requested because of the higher likelihood that they will be paid. However, bank cheques should not be regarded as equivalent to cash.

(c) Bank cheques can be purchased by NAB and non-NAB customers and a fee is charged. A bank may dishonour a bank cheque if:

(i) the bank cheque is forged or counterfeit;

(ii) the bank cheque has been fraudulently and materially altered;

(iii) a fraud or other crime has been committed;

(iv) the bank is told the bank cheque has been lost or stolen;

(v) there is a court order restraining the bank from paying a bank cheque;

(vi) the bank has not received payment or value for the issue of the bank cheque; or

(vii) a bank cheque is presented by a person who is not entitled to the cheque proceeds.

If a bank cheque is lost or stolen, NAB will, on certain conditions provide a replacement cheque for a fee.

7. Direct Debits

You may make regular payments to a third party (‘Debit User’), by authorising the Debit User to debit your account with NAB.

7.1 General Provisions

(a) The Debit User will provide you with their form of direct debit request and a Direct Debit Service Agreement. Only Debit Users approved by a ﬁnancial institution can make these arrangements on your behalf.

(b) This agreement may provide for the debiting of your account with any amount charged by the Debit User. You may, however, be able to limit the amount or ask that the charging be delayed until after the issuing of a billing advice to you. These arrangements are between you and the Debit User.

7.2 Disputed debits

(a) You must notify NAB as soon as possible if you suspect or believe that an amount debited to your account was unauthorised or otherwise irregular. Either visit your NAB outlet or call a Customer Service Representative on.

NAB will promptly process your instruction:

(i) If you lodge a written claim with NAB regarding a disputed amount, you should receive a response within 7 banking days;

(ii) NAB suggests you contact the Debit User and refer to the Direct Debit Service Agreement. This may be especially helpful if you believe that an incorrect amount has been debited to your account.

7.3 Cancellation of direct debit authority

(a) You may cancel your direct debit arrangements with a Debit User by calling NAB on 13 10 12, completing the direct debit cancellation request online via  nab.com.au  or visiting your NAB outlet and completing a cancellation request. If you advise NAB by phone, your written conﬁrmation may also be required. NAB will promptly process your instruction and stop further debits to your account. NAB will advise the Debit User of your request to cancel the authority. NAB suggests you also contact the Debit User. This may be especially helpful when resolving complaints about incorrect charges.

(b) To arrange for a direct debit by the Debit User to be resumed on your account, you will need to contact the Debit User and you will also need to contact NAB and cancel the stop payment.

7.4 Non-payments

(a) If there are insufﬁcient cleared funds in your account to meet a direct debit payment, NAB may dishonour or pay the debit at its discretion. This may result in your account being overdrawn. If the debit is dishonoured, you may incur a Dishonour Fee, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure 'Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges', available from NAB at any time. You may be charged overdrawn debit interest in accordance with clause 2.7.

b) You must monitor your accounts to ensure that you have sufﬁcient funds to meet your direct debit arrangements. NAB will notify you if a debit is dishonored or otherwise not made.

7.5 Multiple authorities

(a) If you have more than one direct debit arrangement with a Debit User on your account and cancel one arrangement, this will automatically stop all debits from your account by that Debit User.

(b) To arrange for other direct debits to continue on your account, you will need to contact the Debit User. You will then need to contact NAB and cancel the stop payment to allow the Debit User to continue to debit your account.

PayID®, Osko and New Payments Platform

8. About PayID

8.1 PayID is the NPP Payment addressing service that enables payers to make NPP Payments to payees using an alternative identiﬁer instead of a BSB and account number.

8.2 You can create a PayID (e.g. your mobile number, email address or ABN) to be linked to your account. Once a PayID is created, any payments which a person makes to that PayID will be directed to the account to which that PayID is linked (‘the Linked Account’).

8.3 Each PayID can only be linked to one account at a time, but an account can have multiple PayIDs linked to it. For example, you can create your mobile number and email address as PayIDs to the same account (in which case payments made to either PayID type will be directed to the same account), but you can’t create your mobile number or email address as the PayID for more than one account at a time.

8.4 Where your account is held in joint names, each account holder can link a PayID to the account.

8.5 You are not obliged to create or use a PayID for your account. You can continue to operate your account without a PayID, in which case payments to your account will require your BSB and account number.

9. Your PayID

9.1 Creating your PayID

(a) You can create a PayID for your account through a NAB online banking service that supports PayID creation. We will not create a PayID for you without your prior consent.

(b) In creating a PayID, you represent and warrant that:

(i) You own or are otherwise authorised to use the PayID;

(ii) the PayID is current, accurate and complete; and

(iii) You agree to your PayID being registered in the PayID service.

(i) we have not yet completed verifying your identity;

(ii) we are not satisﬁed that you own or are otherwise authorised to use that PayID; or

(iii) we reasonably suspect that the PayID is or has been or will be used for a fraudulent purpose; or

(iv) we are required to do so by law or by the operator of the New Payments Platform; or

(v) the PayID is already created.

(d) Where your attempt to create a PayID fails because that PayID is already created by someone else in the PayID service, we will try to assist to resolve this by contacting the ﬁnancial institution or other entity that registered that PayID, who is then required to contact the customer to which the PayID is registered to establish if that customer has to the right to use the PayID. If that person cannot establish that they are the rightful owner of the PayID, their ﬁnancial institution is required to close that PayID.

9.2 PayID Name

A PayID Name must be registered with your PayID. When you create your PayID, we will either:

(a) issue you a PayID Name; or

(b) enable you to select your own PayID Name from a list we provide you.

We will not permit selection of a PayID Name that we consider could mislead or deceive a payer into sending you NPP Payments intended for another payee.

9.3 Privacy and disclosure

(a) By creating your PayID you acknowledge that you consent to our recording of your PayID, PayID Name and account details in the PayID service to enable payers to make NPP Payments to you, and to the extent that such recording and use constitutes a disclosure and use of personal information within the meaning of the Privacy Law, consent to that disclosure and use.

(b) Disclosure of PayID Name and PayIDs to third parties

To help payers identify who they are paying, your PayID Name may be displayed alongside your PayID to any person that enters your PayID as the address for an intended payment. For example, if your mobile number is your PayID, then any person who enters your mobile number in the payee address ﬁeld of their internet banking may see your PayID Name attached to that mobile number.

Where you hold a joint account, other accountholders may be able to see messages and notiﬁcations associated with payments and other messages addressed to your PayID.

9.4 Transferring your PayID to a different account

(a) You can transfer your PayID to another account with us, or to an account with another ﬁnancial institution. You can do this through one of our online channels that supports PayID maintenance.

(b) A transfer of your PayID to another eligible account with us will generally be effective immediately, unless we notify you otherwise.

(c) A transfer of your PayID to another ﬁnancial institution is completed by that institution. You will need to follow that ﬁnancial institution’s PayID creation process.

(d) Until the transfer is completed, payment to your PayID will continue to be directed to your current Linked Account with us. If the other ﬁnancial institution does not complete the transfer within 14 days, the transfer will be deemed to be ineffective and your PayID will remain with your current Linked Account. You can try to transfer your PayID again at any time.

9.5 Maintaining PayID details

(a) You must keep your PayID details current, accurate and complete.

(b) You must close your PayID immediately if you no longer own or have authority to use your PayID.

9.6 Locking your PayID

(a) You may wish to temporarily stop payments to your PayID. You can do this by locking your PayID through the ‘PayID Maintenance’ function in the relevant electronic banking service.

(b) We can lock your PayID at any time without notice if we reasonably suspect that your PayID has been used for fraudulent purposes.

9.7 Closing a PayID

(a) You can close your PayID through the ‘PayID Maintenance’ function in the relevant electronic banking service. Closing a PayID results in removal of your PayID from the PayID service.

(b) We can close your PayID where:

(i) we are not satisﬁed that you own or are otherwise authorised to use that PayID; or

(ii) we reasonably suspect that the PayID is or has been used for a fraudulent purpose; or

(iii) your PayID has remained locked for a period that we reasonably consider to be excessive; or

(iv) we are required to do so by law or by the operator of the New Payments Platform.

9.8 Payments to your PayID

You acknowledge that not all accounts and payment types support payment to a PayID. The ability for a payer to pay to your PayID depends on the payer’s ﬁnancial institution and on the type of payment to be made. As a result, in some cases you may need to provide your BSB and account number to the payer.

10. Making Payments to a PayID

10.1 When you enter the PayID in the payee ﬁeld of the relevant service, we will check to conﬁrm that the PayID has been registered in the PayID service. Where it has, we will display to you on screen the PayID Name attached to that PayID. You must check that the name displayed matches the person that you intend to pay. If you do not recognise the name or the name does not match who you intend to pay, you should contact your intended payee to conﬁrm that all details are correct before proceeding to make payment. Incorrect details could result in a payment to the wrong account and may result in loss of your funds.

10.2 When you direct a payment or other message to a PayID connected to a joint account, the other accountholders may be able to see the messages and notiﬁcations associated with the payment.

10.3 How we process future dated payments to a PayID

(a) We may attempt to make the payment at any time on the scheduled payment date. As a result, you should ensure that you have sufﬁcient funds available throughout the day to satisfy the withdrawal. We may decline to process the payment if, at the time we try to make the payment you don’t have sufﬁcient funds in your account.

(b) On the scheduled payment day, before we try to make the payment we will check the PayID service to conﬁrm whether the PayID is still registered and whether there has been a change in the PayID Name since the time you set the payment up. We won’t be able to process the payment if the PayID is no longer registered or is locked, and we won’t process the payment if the PayID Name has changed. You should check the payment status at the end of the day that the payment was scheduled to be made to conﬁrm whether it has gone through.

11. Osko

11.1 About Osko

(a) We subscribe to Osko under the BPAY Scheme.

(b) You can receive Osko Payments to your account. However, you will need to use an online banking channel in order to view full remittance details or other data that is sent with an Osko Payment to your account.

11.2 Payments

(a) You can make Osko Payments through our online banking channels that support Osko Payments.

(b) You can make Osko Payments to a PayID or to a BSB and account number, provided that the account that you are paying is able to receive Osko Payments. Some payees might not be able to receive Osko or NPP Payments, depending on their account type and their ﬁnancial institution.

(c) If the PayID or account that you entered does not accept Osko payments but is capable of accepting other types of NPP Payments, we may send the payment as another NPP Payment type. In this case, we will still send the payment in near real-time but the timing of making the funds available to the payee is at the discretion of the receiving bank.

(d) You should ensure that all information you provide in relation to any Osko Payment or other NPP Payment is correct as we will not be able to cancel an Osko Payment or other NPP Payment once it has been processed.

(e) Where you make an Osko Payment or other NPP Payment using a credit or debit card, no ‘chargeback’ rights will be available in relation to the payment.

11.3 Transaction limits

We may impose limits on the value of any Osko Payment, or the aggregate value of Osko Payments or other NPP Payments permitted over a particular period. These limits may be different from limits that apply to other payment types.

11.4 Mistaken and Misdirected Payments

Where we and the sending ﬁnancial institution determine that an NPP Payment made to your account is either a mistaken internet payment or a payment made in error, we may, without your consent, and subject to complying with any other applicable terms and conditions, deduct from your account an amount equal to that mistaken internet payment or payment made in error. A payment made in error includes a fraudulent payment, an over payment, duplicate payment, payment error made by us or a Misdirected Payment.

11.5 Suspension and termination

(a) We may suspend your ability to make Osko Payments or other NPP Payments at any time where we believe on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to do so to prevent loss to NAB or you, including where we suspect that the service is being used or will be used for fraud.

(b) We may also make the service temporarily unavailable for the purpose of performing system maintenance or upgrades.

(c) We will be required to terminate the Osko service if our membership of BPAY or our participation in Osko is suspended, ceases or is cancelled. We will provide you with as much notice as possible if this occurs.

11.6 Privacy and conﬁdentiality

(a) In order to provide you with services under Osko, we may need to disclose your Personal Information to BPAY and/or its Service Providers. If we do not disclose your Personal Information to BPAY or its Service Providers, we will not be able to provide you with services under Osko.

(b) Accordingly, you agree to our disclosing to BPAY, its service providers and such other participants involved in Osko such Personal Information relating to you as is necessary to facilitate the provision of Osko to you.

12. You must check your statements

12.1 Without limiting any part of these terms and conditions for your account, you must promptly review your statement of account to check for and tell NAB of any transaction recorded on your statement that you suspect for any reason that you did not authorise or for which the information recorded is incorrect. Failure to promptly report unauthorised transactions may increase your liability.

13. Indemnity

13.1 In the absence of a breach of any obligation owed to you, NAB will not be liable for any loss that you incur:

(a) if NAB refuses to allow payment of a cheque or direct debit in good faith in the ordinary course of business; or

(b) if a stop payment request is given too late to NAB to enable payment to be stopped; or

(c) if NAB suffers any loss as a result of acting on your instructions in relation to a cheque or direct debit (such as processing a request to cancel a direct debit arrangement or stopping payment on a cheque or direct debit); or

(d) as a result of you breaching any obligation you have in this clause.

Where NAB pays funds or suffers any loss under this clause, you must indemnify NAB except to the extent such loss arises from NAB’s fraud, negligence or misconduct (or the fraud, negligence or misconduct of NAB’s officers, employees, contractors and agents). NAB will debit your account for the relevant amount.

14. Account Closure

You or any other authorised person can request to close your account by contacting your banker or by written notice. If we cannot execute your request, we may advise you of further information we require to process your request. Such termination will not affect any obligation incurred by you or under these terms and conditions.

Monthly fees will apply even if the account may have been opened for only part of the month and will continue to apply until the account is closed. Any outstanding interest, fees and charges payable by you to NAB under these terms and conditions are payable upon closure.

NAB may, acting fairly and reasonably in accordance with clause 17, exercise its discretion to close an account due to unsatisfactory conduct or any other reason it deems appropriate. In this event, NAB will provide you notice in writing (and will provide a general reason where appropriate to do so).

Part B – General matters

15. General Matters

15.1 An account must not be used for any personal or domestic banking. If you do not have an Australian Business Number then you agree to provide NAB with a declaration (in a form provided by NAB) that the account is not used for personal or domestic reasons.

15.2 NAB’s right to combine or set-off accounts

NAB can combine or set-off the balance of two or more of any type of accounts, credit facilities or other products held by the account holder with NAB, even if they are held at different branches or in joint names. This may happen when one of the account holder’s accounts is overdrawn or is in debit and another in credit. For example, the credit balance in one account can be used to repay the debit balance in another account. NAB will promptly inform you if it has exercised this right and NAB need not give you notice in advance. The account holder does not have a right of combination or set-off unless NAB has agreed or has a right to do so under law which cannot be excluded (for example because of a court order).

15.3 NAB will promptly give notice to you if we have combined any of your accounts. NAB need not provide this notice before taking such action. However, if the Banking Code of Practice applies (see clause 16 below) or this is a Small Business Contract, we will not exercise these rights unless either we give you notice, we have your prior agreement or you are in default in respect or your obligations to NAB in respect of any account that you have with us. Otherwise, we will notify you after exercising these rights.

15.4 You cannot presume that NAB will pay cheques or other drawings on your account where payment will create an overdrawn balance, even if you hold credit funds in another account which are equal to or more than the overdrawn balance.

15.5 Inactive accounts

If you have not operated your account for seven years (for example, by making deposits or withdrawals), the account may be closed and the balance transferred to the Commonwealth Government as unclaimed money. NAB will notify you at your last known address at least 30 days before any such variation takes effect.

15.6 Wholesale Investors

NAB Corporate Cheque Account is only available to Wholesale Investors. You will need to provide evidence satisfactory to NAB confirming your status as a Wholesale Investor prior to establishing an account.

16. Banking Code of Practice

16.1 NAB has adopted the Banking Code of Practice and relevant provisions of the Code apply to this account, if you are an individual or a small business referred to in the Code.

16.2 You can obtain from NAB upon request:

(a) information on NAB current interest rates and standard fees and charges relating to this account if any;

(b) general descriptive information concerning NAB banking services including

(i) for accounts with cheque access, general descriptive information about cheques

(ii) account opening procedures;

(iii) NAB’s obligations regarding the conﬁdentiality of your information;

(iv) complaint handling procedures;

(v) bank cheques;

(vi) the advisability of you informing NAB promptly when you are in ﬁnancial difﬁculty;

(vii) the advisability of you reading the terms and conditions applying to each banking service NAB provides to you;

(ii) the options available to you under the tax ﬁle number legislation; and

(d) a copy of the Banking Code of Practice.

17. Discretions

17.1 Where these terms and conditions confer a discretion on NAB, NAB will exercise that discretion fairly and reasonably and in accordance with its legitimate business interests and prudential and regulatory obligations. That includes whenever NAB is changing a term of this Agreement or our fees and charges, exercising enforcement or set-off rights or incurring expenses that are payable by you.

17.2 We can take a range of things into account when exercising our rights and discretions under these terms. These can include:

(a) our legal obligations, industry codes and payment scheme rules and the expectations of our regulators;

(b) protecting our customers, staff and systems and the personal information we hold;

(c) what you have told us about yourself and how you will use our products and services (including if it’s misleading, incorrect or you haven’t provided us with all of the information we reasonably need when asked);

(d) how our products and services are intended to be used (and how you have used them);

(e) our public statements, including those relating to protecting vulnerable persons, the environment or sustainability;

(f) community expectations and any impact on our reputation;

(g) whether we need to take any action to protect you or another person from a potential fraud or scam; and

(h) risk management, including sanctions risk management.

18. Variation and notice provisions

18.1 Changes NAB may make

(a) In addition to the other changes NAB may make to these terms and conditions, NAB may change any other terms and conditions (including by imposing new fees or charges, or changing the amount, type, or method of calculation of fees and charges payable). NAB will make any changes in accordance with any applicable legislation and industry codes. If you do not accept any change we make, you can ask NAB to close your account. You will need to pay any outstanding balance in order to do this.

(b) If the account is not used for a period, the length of which is dependent upon the amount of money in the account, the crediting of interest and issue of statements to you, if applicable, will end and access will be restricted, or the account will be closed and the balance transferred to the Commonwealth Government. NAB will notify you at your last known address at least 30 days before any such variation takes effect.

To either change or cancel any regular payment arrangement you should contact the merchant at least 15 days prior to the next scheduled payment. Until you attempt to cancel the regular payment arrangement NAB must accept the merchant’s transaction (subject to there being sufﬁcient funds or limits available). If possible you should retain a copy of your change/cancellation request. If the merchant fails to act in accordance with these instructions you may have the rights to a dispute.

29. Limits on use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details

29.1 A NAB Business Visa Debit card may not be accepted unless it carries your signature and is used during the validity-period shown on your card.

29.2 The available balance of your linked transaction account will be reduced by the amount of:

(a) any transaction for which a merchant seeks authorisation even if the transaction is not completed at the time of the authorisation. This authorisation is for the purpose of establishing that there are sufﬁcient funds available in your transaction account for the transaction. This authorisation may be completed for a transaction that occurs at a later time such as hotel accommodation; and

(b) any debit to your transaction account under clause 30.1 except to the extent that the relevant transaction has already led to a reduction in the amount of available balance.

29.3 All purchases and cash withdrawals made using a NAB Business Visa Debit card through the Visa card scheme are limited to the available balance of your linked transaction account.

29.4 A cash withdrawal cannot be made using card details or card at a contactless reader.

29.5 Transaction limits apply to the use of card details or a card to make a purchase at a contactless reader without using a PIN. NAB will notify you of any such limit if your card is capable of making contactless purchases.

30. Processing of transactions by NAB

30.1 Your linked transaction account will be debited with, and you agree to pay to NAB:

(a) each purchase;

(b) each cash withdrawal; and

30.2 In the absence of evidence to the contrary:

(a) the amount shown on a sales voucher or any other evidence of a purchase is sufﬁcient evidence of the purchase; and

(b) the amount shown on a cash withdrawal voucher, receipt or any other evidence of a cash withdrawal is sufﬁcient evidence of the cash withdrawal; and

30.3 NAB may assign any date it reasonably considers appropriate to a debit or credit to your linked transaction account or may adjust any debit or credit for the purposes of correction.

31. Statements and currency conversion

31.1 NAB will give you a statement for your linked transaction account as set out in Part A.

31.2 If your NAB Business Visa Debit card or card details are used to make transactions in a foreign currency, the way amounts are converted to Australian dollars for listing on your statement is set out below:

(a) Purchases, cash withdrawals, refunds and any other charges, incurred in currencies other than Australian dollars are converted to Australian dollars (directly from United States, Canadian, New Zealand and Singapore dollars, pound sterling, euros and Japanese yen or, if in a currency other than these currencies, ﬁrst to United States dollars) as at the dates they are processed by Visa International using exchange rates determined by them. The exchange rates used by Visa International to convert a foreign currency transaction to Australian dollars are wholesale market rates selected by Visa International from within a range of wholesale rates or the government–mandated rate, in effect 1 day prior to the Visa International Central Processing Date. The converted Australian dollar amount appears on your statement as the transaction amount.

(b) A NAB International Transaction Fee is charged to your linked transaction account for purchases and cash withdrawals and calculated on the converted AUD transaction amount shown on your statement. The NAB International Transaction Fee includes a fee charged by Visa to NAB (and on charged by NAB to you).

(Note: Refunds incurred in currencies other than Australian dollars are converted to Australian dollars as at the date they are processed by Visa International using exchange rates determined by them. This often results in the refund being converted using an exchange rate different from the one used to convert the original purchase or cash withdrawal.)

32. Lost/stolen cards

32.1 Notiﬁcation procedure

If a NAB Business Visa Debit card or card details is lost or stolen you must immediately notify NAB using the telephone number referred to in the ‘Lost/Stolen Cards/Compromised Personal Identiﬁcation Numbers (PINs)’ details under Summary of Important Information at the front of this booklet, or any other means NAB makes available to you. Where requested, you must give NAB all the information you have about how the loss occurred.

32.2 Your liability

You remain liable for any cash withdrawal or purchase made by any other person before you notify NAB of the loss or theft up to a maximum of:

(a) in relation to all the uses of the NAB Business Visa Debit card through an electronic banking facility – the amount determined under the terms and conditions for the electronic banking facility (if any);

(b) in relation to all other uses of the NAB Business Visa Debit card, a total amount of $150.

32.3 Despite notifying NAB of an event described in clause 32.1, you remain liable for any cash withdrawal or purchase made by you except to the extent of liability arising from NAB’s fraud, negligence or misconduct (include employ section).

32.4 Emergency card replacement

If your NAB Business Visa Debit card is lost or stolen while you are overseas, you may request a NAB Business Visa Debit Emergency Card for use until your permanent replacement card is received.

You remain liable and responsible for the proper use of the NAB Business Visa Debit Emergency Card and any transactions made using the NAB Business Visa Debit Emergency Card or its card details.

32.5 New card details to your Merchants

If your NAB Business Visa Debit card details are changed i.e. as a result of a lost or stolen card you must request the merchant to change the details of your existing regular payment arrangement to ensure arrangements continue. If you fail to undertake this activity your regular payment arrangement either may not be honoured by NAB or the merchant may stop providing the goods and/services.

33. Disputed transactions

33.1 A disputed transaction may include

(a) an unauthorised NAB Business Visa Debit card transaction – a transaction which you believe was not authorised by use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card or card details.

(b) a general dispute – a transaction which you wish to dispute. This may include a transaction which has been processed to your NAB Business Visa Debit card more than once, or a transaction which was authorised by the use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card which you wish to dispute.

Despite notifying NAB of a disputed transaction you remain liable for any cash withdrawal or purchase made by using your NAB Business Visa Debit card.

33.2 Notiﬁcation procedure for disputed transactions

You should immediately notify NAB of any disputed transaction.

NAB recommends that you promptly read each statement carefully as soon as you receive it. If applicable you may also wish to check your current transaction history via NAB Internet Banking, NAB Connect or NAB Telephone Banking.

Use the telephone number printed on your statement or on the back of your NAB Business Visa Debit card to report the disputed transaction. You must give NAB any information you have about how the disputed transaction occurred. NAB may require you to conﬁrm details in writing.

33.3 Chargeback rights

The Visa card scheme has a dispute resolution process that is contained in its operating rules. This process sets out speciﬁc circumstances and timeframes in which a member of the scheme (e.g. a ﬁnancial institution) can claim a refund in connection with a disputed transaction on your behalf. This is referred to as a ‘chargeback right’.

This ‘chargeback right’ does not apply to transactions at EFTPOS terminals accessing your nominated account using the ‘savings’ or ‘cheque’ option.

NAB’s ability to investigate any disputed transaction on your NAB Business Visa Debit card, and subsequently process a chargeback is restricted by the time limits imposed under the operating rules for the Visa card scheme.

While your dispute is being investigated by NAB, the value of the disputed transaction will be withheld against your linked transaction account until the dispute is resolved.

33.4 Timeframes for notifying NAB

The ability of NAB to dispute a transaction on your behalf (where a chargeback right exists) may be lost if you do not notify NAB within the required timeframes.

For this reason, it is in your interest to report any disputed transaction to NAB immediately and certainly no later than 75 days after the date of transaction on your receipt.

Where it can be shown that you have unreasonably delayed notifying NAB, you may be liable for the loss on any disputed transaction.

33.5 Timeframes for NAB to process a chargeback right where a chargeback right exists

NAB will process a chargeback for you when you have notiﬁed NAB of the disputed transaction within the required time frame, as described in clause 33.4.

The timeframes for NAB to process a chargeback vary between 75 days and 120 days depending on the type of disputed transaction.

NAB will not accept a refusal of a chargeback by a merchant’s ﬁnancial institution unless it is consistent with the relevant Visa card scheme rules.

33.6 Electronic transactions

If the ePayments Code is applicable to a disputed transaction, the timeframes as speciﬁed in clause 33.4 may not apply in certain circumstances.

The procedures for resolving disputed electronic transactions are set out in the terms and conditions of the electronic banking facility.

34. Cancellation of your card

34.1 Cancellation by NAB

NAB may cancel your NAB Business Visa Debit card at any time without notice. Examples of where NAB may do this include, where you have reported a fraudulent transaction using your card or card details, where the account is inactive, or where NAB reasonably believes that the continued use of your card may cause loss to NAB or you. These examples are for guidance only and do not limit NAB’s ability to cancel your card for another reason.

The NAB Business Visa Debit card or card details may not be used after it is cancelled or your linked transaction account is closed. When NAB gives you notice of the cancellation you must destroy or return the NAB Business Visa Debit card to NAB and to take reasonable steps to prevent your card details from being used.

34.2 Cancellation by you

You may cancel your NAB Business Visa Debit card if you:

(a) notify NAB using a notice method set out in clause 18, requesting that the NAB Business Visa Debit card be cancelled.

(b) destroy or return your current NAB Business Visa Debit card to NAB and take reasonable steps to prevent your card details from being used.

You will remain liable for any transactions using your NAB Business Visa Debit card or NAB Business Visa Debit card details prior to your NAB Business Visa Debit card or linked transaction account being closed. NAB may seek to recover these funds from you.

NAB may refuse to authorise any transactions on your NAB Business Visa Debit card made after receiving your request to cancel your NAB Business Visa Debit Card.

34.3 Regular payment arrangements (including direct debits)

(a) If your NAB Business Visa Debit card is cancelled under clause 34.2, you must cancel any direct debits authorised using your NAB Business Visa Debit card details.

(b) If you elect to close your transaction account or your transaction account is closed by NAB you should contact the merchant to revise your regular payment arrangement as the merchant may stop providing the goods and/ or services.

34.4 Terms and conditions continue after cancellation

The terms and conditions in Part C will continue after a NAB Business Visa Debit card is cancelled under clause 34 or your linked transaction account is closed and until any outstanding amounts to be debited to your linked transaction account are paid (whether the amounts are accrued or charged before or after the cancellation of your card or closure of your linked transaction account).

35. Fees and charges

NAB may debit your linked transaction account with fees applicable to the NAB Business Visa Debit card and other standard fees, the amount and nature of which are detailed in NAB’s brochure 'Business Banking Fees – A Guide to Fees and Charges', opens in new window available from NAB at any time.

Any fees and charges paid by you are not refundable.

36. Miscellaneous

Parties other than NAB may from time to time offer certain goods and services to you:

(a) free of charge; or

(b) at a particular price, in connection with your NAB Business Visa Debit card. NAB is not responsible for any of these goods or services, or the failure of such a party to provide or perform such goods or services.

37. Your Responsibilities

(a) where NAB provides you with a PIN you must not:

i voluntarily disclose your PIN to anyone including a family member or friend (unless your card is a Deposit Only Card);

ii. record your PIN on your card or on any article carried with the card or liable to loss or theft simultaneously with the card;

iii. act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of your PIN.

(b) where NAB allows you to select a PIN or change your PIN you must not select:

i. a numeric code which represents your birth date; or

ii. an alphabetical code which is a recognisable part of your name.

Either of these selections may mean you are liable for losses caused by unauthorised transactions caused by a breach of your PIN.

37.1 Guidelines

You should also comply with these guidelines to protect the security of your card, card account details and PIN and thus reduce the possibility of any inconvenience to you:

(a) do not permit any other person to use your card or card account details;

(b) destroy your PIN envelope after memorising your PIN;

(c) take reasonable care when using an ATM or EFTPOS terminal to ensure your PIN is not disclosed to any other person; and

(d) should you require a memory aid to recall your PIN you may make such a record providing the record is reasonably disguised. However, NAB does not consider the following examples to provide a reasonable disguise and you must not:

i. record the disguised PIN on your card;

ii. disguise your PIN by reversing the number sequence;

iii. describe the disguised record as a ‘PIN record’ or ‘Password record’;

iv. disguise your PIN as a telephone number, part of a telephone number, postcode or date of birth;

v. disguise your PIN using alphabetical characters, e.g: A = 1B = 2C = 3 etc.

There may be other forms of disguise which may be similarly unsuitable because of the ease of another person discerning your PIN.

Please note all the guidelines set out in clause 37.1 are for your assistance. If the ePayments Code is applicable, your liability in the case of an actual loss will be governed by the ePayments Code and clause 37 in this booklet. However, you should take care to meet the guidelines set out in clause 37.1 as a failure to meet these guidelines may in some circumstances constitute an act of extreme carelessness under clause 37(a)(iii).

37.2 Advising NAB

If you believe your card has been lost or stolen, your PIN divulged or that there has been misuse of your card, you must advise NAB as soon as possible. Please refer to NAB’s Lost/ Stolen Cards/Compromised Personal Identiﬁcation Number (PINs) details in Summary of Important Information at the front of this booklet.

Once NAB has been notiﬁed of these matters the account holder’s liability for further EFT transactions will be limited.

Where telephone facilities or any other means are not available during particular periods, any losses occurring during these periods that were due to non-notiﬁcation are deemed to be the liability of NAB, providing notiﬁcation is made to NAB within a reasonable time of the facility again becoming available. Please refer to NAB customer service details in Summary of Important Information at the front of this booklet.

NAB will acknowledge your report and you should record or retain this acknowledgement.

37.3 Liability under Visa card scheme rules

Notwithstanding the above where you notify NAB of an unauthorised transaction on a NAB Business Visa Debit card, NAB will not hold the account holder liable for an amount greater than the liability the account holder would have had if NAB had, at the time the complaint was made, exercised its rights (to the extent relevant) under the rules of the Visa card scheme.

37.4 Failure of NAB electronic equipment

(a) except in the case of a business EFT transaction NAB will be liable to you for losses you suffer caused by the failure of NAB electronic equipment or system to complete an EFT transaction accepted by NAB system or NAB electronic equipment in accordance with your instructions.

However, NAB will not be liable for consequential losses where you should have been aware that NAB electronic equipment or system was unavailable for use or malfunctioning. NAB responsibilities in this case will be limited to the correction of errors in your account and the refund of any charges or fees imposed on you as a result. NAB will also not be liable for any losses caused by the failure of NAB electronic equipment where NAB system or electronic equipment had not accepted the EFT transaction.

(b) NAB will not be liable to you for any loss, claim, liability or outgoing, including without limitation any consequential loss or liability, which you suffer because of any failure of NAB’s systems or NAB’s electronic equipment to complete a business EFT transaction.

Limits in EFT transactions

37.5 Nominated accounts

Your card and PIN (or your card account details) enable transactions to be made on any NAB accounts which you have nominated for use with NAB card based electronic banking facilities.

37.6 Number and type of accounts

There is a limit to the number and type of accounts which can be accessed by means of NAB card based electronic banking facilities.

NAB Business Visa Debit cards

(a) NAB will nominate your business transaction account to which your NAB Business Visa Debit card is linked as your ﬁrst main account. You may also nominate an additional main account being either one main business cheque or one main business savings account.

(b) EFTPOS terminals permit access to your nominated account(s) and will debit a transaction to one of your nominated account(s) such as the business cheque or savings account to which the NAB Business Visa debit card is linked. That is, an individual EFTPOS transaction must be debited to one account, although a separate transaction may be debited to another designated ‘main account’.

37.7 ePayments Code warranty

NAB warrants that it will comply with the requirements of the ePayments Code for all EFT transactions on nominated accounts other than business EFT transactions.

Sharing with MLC Limited

NAB acts for MLC Limited ABN 90 000 000 402 (described as MLC Life Insurance) in distributing their life insurance products. MLC Limited is no longer part of the NAB Group of companies. We may exchange personal information with MLC Limited or their service providers in order to administer and manage your life insurance products that are issued by them.

Sharing at your request

We may need to share your personal information with your representative or any person acting on your behalf (for example, ﬁnancial advisers, lawyers, settlement agents, accountants, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, brokers or auditors) and your referee such as your employer (to conﬁrm details about you).

Sharing with Credit Reporting bodies

When we’re checking your credit worthiness and at other times, we might share information about you with credit reporting bodies. When we give your information to a credit reporting body, it may be included in reports that the credit reporting body gives other organisations (such as other lenders) to help them assess your credit worthiness.

Some of the information that we give to credit reporting bodies may reﬂect adversely on your credit worthiness, for example, if you fail to make payments or if you commit a serious credit infringement (like obtaining credit by fraud). That sort of information may affect your ability to get credit from other lenders.

With your consent, personal information may also be shared with credit reporting bodies or other approved third parties who are authorised to assess the validity of identiﬁcation information. These checks help us verify whether your identity is real and are not a credit check.

Sharing with third parties

We may disclose your personal information to third parties outside of the Group, including:

those involved in providing, managing or administering your product or service;
authorised representatives of the NAB Group who sell products or services on our behalf;
credit reporting bodies or other approved third parties who are authorised to assess the validity of identiﬁcation information;
insurance, investment, superannuation and managed funds organisations, and their advisers and service provider;
medical professionals, medical facilities or health authorities who verify any health information you may provide;
real estate agents, valuers and insurers (including lenders’ mortgage insurers and title insurers), re-insurers, claim assessors and investigators;
brokers or referrers who refer your application or business to us;
other ﬁnancial institutions, such as banks, as well as guarantors and prospective guarantors of your facility;
organisations involved in debt collecting, including purchasers of debt;
fraud reporting agencies (including organisations that assist with fraud investigations and organisations established to identify, investigate and/or prevent any fraud, suspected fraud, crime, suspected crime, or misconduct of a serious nature);
service providers that assist with fraud detection and prevention;
organisations involved in surveying or registering a security property or which otherwise have an interest in such property;
organisations we sponsor and loyalty program partners, including organisations the NAB Group has an arrangement with to jointly offer products or has an alliance with to share information for marketing purposes;
companies we arrange or distribute products for, such as insurance products;
rating agencies to the extent necessary to allow the rating agency to rate particular investments;
any party involved in securitising your facility, including the Reserve Bank of Australia (sometimes this information is de-identiﬁed), re-insurers and underwriters, loan servicers, trust managers, trustees and security trustees;
service providers that maintain, review and develop our business systems, procedures and technology infrastructure, including testing or upgrading our computer systems;
payments systems organisations including merchants, payment organisations and organisations that produce cards, cheque books or statements for us;
our joint venture partners that conduct business with us;
organisations involved in a corporate re-organisation or transfer of NAB Group assets or business;
organisations that assist with our product planning, analytics, research and development;
mailing houses and telemarketing agencies and media organisations who assist us to communicate with you, including media or social networking sites;
other organisations involved in our normal business practices, including our agents and contractors, as well as our accountants, auditors or lawyers and other external advisers (e.g. consultants and any independent customer advocates);
government or regulatory bodies (including the Australian Securities and Investment Commission and the Australian Tax Ofﬁce) as required or authorised by law (in some instances these bodies may share it with relevant foreign authorities); and
where you’ve given your consent or at your request, including to your representatives, or advisors.

Sharing outside of Australia

We run our business in Australia and overseas. We may need to share some of your information (including credit information) with organisations outside Australia. Sometimes, we may need to ask you before this happens. You can view a list of the countries in which those overseas organisations are located at www.nab.com.au/privacy/overseas-countries-list/

We may store your information in cloud or other types of networked or electronic storage. As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries via an internet connection, it’s not always practicable to know in which country your information may be held. If your information is stored in this way, disclosures may occur in countries other than those listed.

Overseas organisations may be required to disclose information we share with them under a foreign law. In those instances, we will not be responsible for that disclosure.

We will not share any of your credit information with a credit reporting body, unless it has a business operation in Australia. We are not likely to share credit eligibility information (that is, credit information we obtain about you from a credit reporting body or that we derive from that information) with organisations unless they have business operations in Australia. However in the event NAB seeks assistance from a related company to manage defaulting loans, we may need, as a consequence, to disclose credit eligibility information to the Bank of New Zealand, located in New Zealand. We are likely to share other credit information about you with organisations outside Australia. A list of countries in which those overseas organisations are located is set out above.

Accessing your information

You can ask us to access information that we hold about you. You have special rights to access credit information we obtain about you from a credit reporting body or that we derive from that information. You can ﬁnd out how to access your information (including your credit eligibility information) by reading our Privacy Policy, available at www.nab.com.au/privacy or by calling 13 22 65 and asking us for a copy.

Contact credit reporting bodies if you think you have been the victim of a fraud

If you believe that you have been or are likely to be the victim of fraud (including identity fraud), you can request a credit reporting body not to use or disclose the information they hold about you. If you do this, the credit reporting body mustn’t use or disclose the information during an initial 21 day period without your consent (unless the use or disclosure is required by law). This is known as a ban period.

If, after the initial 21 day ban period, the credit reporting body believes on reasonable grounds that you continue to be or are likely to be the victim of fraud, the credit reporting body must extend the ban period as they think reasonable in the circumstances. The credit reporting body must give you a written notice of the extension.

Contact credit reporting bodies if you don’t want your information used by them for direct marketing/pre-screening purposes.

Credit reporting bodies can use the personal information about you that they collect for a pre-screening assessment at the request of a credit provider unless you ask them not to. A pre-screening assessment is an assessment of individuals to see if they satisfy particular eligibility requirements of a credit provider to receive direct marketing. You have the right to contact a credit reporting body to say that you don’t want your information used in pre-screening assessments. If you do this, the credit reporting body must not use your information for that purpose.
