AUSTRAC

The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) an Australian government agency, established to detect and counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It is both a regulator and a specialist financial intelligence unit. AUSTRAC oversees compliance by a wide range of financial services providers, the gambling industry and others with the requirements of the Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 and, more recently, the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML-CTF Act).

It collects and analyses information about financial transactions and can provide that information to State, Territory and Australian Government law enforcement, security, social justice and revenue agencies, as well as certain international counterparts. In collecting financial transaction reports information and ensuring signatories to accounts are identified, AUSTRAC assists its partner agencies in the investigation and prosecution of criminal and terrorist enterprises in Australia and overseas.

Identification requirements

Before you can open or become a signatory to a personal or business account, we will need proof of your identity. The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML-CTF Act) and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) were introduced by the Australian Government to assist in the detection of criminal activity and tax evasion. The Acts apply to NAB. We require you to show identification documents to us before you can open your first personal or business account, become a signatory to an existing personal or business account with NAB.

Existing customers

If you're an existing customer with NAB (or a signatory to a NAB account) you will automatically qualify for identity verification upon confirmation that relevant information is held.

New customers

For new NAB customers or signatories who carry identification such as a driver's licence, Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card or Seniors Health Card, only a few other forms of identification are required to qualify for the identity verification.

Incorporated bodies (e.g. private companies) can nominate a verifying officer who may certify signatories to any accounts opened by the body. Although the verifying officer must be identified in accordance with normal requirements, certified signatories do not require further identification by NAB.

If you are an individual opening an account and are a U.S. citizen or tax resident, you will be asked to provide your Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number.

New business customers

To open an account in the name of a company or incorporated body, a business or an association, NAB will require additional documentation from you such as for a company or incorporated body - a copy of the certificate of incorporation; for a business - a copy of the certificate of registration of the business name or application for the same; for an association (unincorporated) - a copy of the document authorising signatories to sign for the association; for a trust - a copy of all documents creating the trust, including the Trust Deed.

If the business is incorporated in the U.S. you will be asked to provide your Employer Identification Number (EIN). Business customers who are financial institutions will also need to provide their Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) or other FATCA exemption status. If the business has any controlling persons who are U.S citizens or tax residents, you will be asked to provide their Tax Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number.
