Part A: Terms and conditions

1 NAB Business Everyday Account ($0 Monthly Fee Option), NAB Business Everyday Account ($10 Monthly Fee Option), NAB Business Interest Account, NAB Farm Management Account, NAB Community Fee Saver Account and NAB Business Management Account (No longer for sale) (each an 'account')

For NAB Community Fee Saver Account only.

1.a The NAB Community Fee Saver account is only available to not for profit organisations and community groups. NAB may request from the applicant documentation relating to its not for profit or community group status. NAB will determine in its absolute discretion whether an applicant is a not for profit organisation or community group that is eligible for the account.

How will the account work?

1.b The first use of the account or a card issued under the account to access funds will be taken as the Customer’s acceptance to these Terms and Conditions. (Note: Your use of the account includes when you initiate any credit or debit transaction, request an overdraft for your account or when you swap from one business account to another of these business accounts. Use doesn’t include when you swap from an inactive business account).

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 Upon request, NAB will provide a cheque book to access your account.

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 also at its discretion allow you to overdraw the account:

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

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

If paragraph (a) applies, you may be charged overdrawn debit interest. If paragraph (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.

What interest will I receive/pay?

1.6 Credit interest (if any) is paid on the account as follows:

(a) for NAB Business Everyday Account ($10 monthly fee option), NAB Business Everyday Account ($0 monthly fee option) and NAB Community Fee Saver Account, no credit interest is paid on the account;

(b) for NAB Business Management Account (no longer for sale), NAB will pay interest calculated on the daily credit balance of the account as at the end of each day (AEST/AEDT) that is greater than $5,000 up to and including the day before the last banking day of each month and will credit the interest to the account the next banking day. Interest will only be paid on the credit balance greater than $5,000. Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance. Those rates will also fluctuate. The applicable rate applies to the whole of the credit balance greater than $5,000. Those levels of account balance and the rates applicable to them are as notified to you at the time you open your account in NAB's flyer 'Indicator Rates - Deposit Products'. You will be notified of any change to the rates and applicable account balances. They are also available from NAB at any time.

(c) for NAB Farm Management Account, 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 and will credit the interest to the account the next banking day. Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance. Those rates will also fluctuate. The applicable rate applies to the whole of the credit balance. Those levels of account balance and the rates applicable to them are as notified to you at the time you open your account in NAB's flyer 'Indicator Rates – Deposit Products'. You will be notified of any change to the rates and applicable account balances. They are also available from NAB at any time.

(d) for NAB Business Interest Account, 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 and will credit the interest to the account the next banking day. Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance. Those rates will also fluctuate. These levels of account balance and the rates applicable to them are as notified to you at the time you open your account in NAB's flyer 'Indicator Rates - Deposit Products'. You will be notified of any change to the rates and applicable account balances. They are also available from NAB at any time.

1.7 If the account is overdrawn without an approved overdraft limit, you must put the account in credit promptly and you 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 set out in NAB's flyer 'Indicator Rates - Deposit Products' and available at nab.com.au. You will be notified of any change to the overdrawn debit interest rate. It is also available from NAB at any 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.

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

1.8 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.

When will I receive statements?

1.9 NAB will provide you statements of the account at least every 3 months, unless you request otherwise.

If a NAB Business Visa Debit card is linked to your account a statement will be provided to you at least monthly, unless otherwise agreed.

What bank fees are applicable to the account?

1.10 NAB may debit the account with account fees and other standard service fees, 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.

General matters

1.11 Part B of these terms and conditions entitled 'General Matters' are included in these terms and conditions.

What electronic access options are available?

1.12 You may arrange for your account to be linked to your NAB Debit Card, NAB Business Visa Debit Card or your NAB personal Credit Card.

1.13 You may arrange to access the account through Telephone Banking or Internet Banking or similar service provided by NAB, such access will be governed by NAB standard terms and conditions relating to the service.

Closing your account

1.14 You or any other authorised person can request to close your account by visiting a NAB branch, calling our contact centre, 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, or by NAB to you under these terms and conditions are payable upon closure. NAB may exercise its direction to close an account due to unsatisfactory conduct or any other reason it deems appropriate, such as where an account that is designed for use by our business customers is being used for personal purposes. In this event, NAB will provide you notice in writing.

2 NAB Business Cash Maximiser

How will the account work?

2.1 To operate on a NAB Business Cash Maximiser ('the account') you must, if you have not already done so:

(a) open a NAB business transaction account ('the transaction account') in the same name(s) as the account. The transaction account will be governed by NAB standard terms and conditions relating to the account; and

(b) arrange to access the account and the transaction account through Telephone or Internet Banking or a similar electronic service provided by NAB. Such access will be governed by NAB standard terms and conditions relating to the service.

2.2 After the first deposit has been made, you may deposit any amount, and you may withdraw any amount up to the available credit funds, from the account.

2.3 You can only make deposits to, or withdrawals from, the account by transferring funds between the account and another NAB account using an electronic NAB service.

2.4 You may not make deposits to, or withdrawals from, the account except as set out above. For example, you may not make deposits to, or withdrawals from, the account at NAB outlets, or by card, direct debit or cheque. NAB may however, at its discretion, provide you with cash or a cheque for the balance of the account when the account is closed.

2.5 There is no minimum account balance that must be maintained.

2.6 You must not overdraw the account. There is no overdraft or other credit facility available with the account.

2.7 If for any reason the account is overdrawn, you must put the account in credit promptly and you will 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 set out in NAB's flyer 'Indicator Rates - Deposit Products' and available at nab.com.au. You will be notified of any change to the overdrawn debit interest rate. It is also available from NAB at any time. The rate 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, or to the transaction account, on the last banking day of each month.

What interest will I receive?

2.8 The account will not earn any interest during any period in which the balance of the account is less than $10,000.

2.9 Other than days on which the balance of the account is less than $10,000, NAB will pay interest calculated on the daily 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 and will credit the interest the next banking day to the account, or such other account, as you and we agree.

2.10 Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance and to accounts opened in the name of self-managed superannuation funds (if requested by you). Those rates will also fluctuate. The applicable rate applies to the whole of the credit balance. Those levels of account balance and the rates applicable to them are as notified to you at the time you open your account in NAB's flyer Indicator Rates - Deposit Products'. You will be notified of any change to the rates and applicable account balances. They are also available from NAB at any time. It is your responsibility to request that NAB apply its rates for self-managed superannuation funds to the account, if applicable.

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

2.11 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.

When will I receive statements?

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

What bank fees are applicable to the account?

2.13 No account fees are payable in relation to the account.

2.14 Other standard service fees may apply and may be debited to the account unless otherwise agreed. The amount and nature of NAB standard service fees are detailed in NAB's brochure 'Business Banking Fees - A guide to fees and charges' available from NAB at any time.

Closing your account

2.17 You or any other authorised person can request to close your account by visiting a NAB branch, calling our contact centre, 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, or by NAB to you under these terms and conditions are payable upon closure. NAB may exercise its direction to close an account due to unsatisfactory conduct or any other reason it deems appropriate, such as where an account that is designed for use by our business customers is being used for personal purposes. In this event, NAB will provide you notice in writing.

3 NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer)

How will the account work?

3.1 You may deposit any amount and you may withdraw up to the available credit funds from the NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) (‘the account’). 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.

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

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

3.4 Upon request, NAB will provide a cheque book to access your account.

3.5 Before you can open this account, and at all times while it is open, you must also have a working account of a type specified by NAB, active with NAB.

3.6 If at any time the working account is closed, NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) must also be closed.

What interest will I receive/pay?

3.7 The account will not earn any credit interest whilst the account remains open. The linked working account will earn credit interest in accordance with its terms and conditions.

If you have more than one working account you must tell NAB which of those working accounts is to be linked to the account.

3.8 If the account is part of a GST Business Offset Arrangement (‘the GST offset arrangement’), the terms and conditions of the GST offset arrangement from time to time will apply.

3.9 If the account is overdrawn without an approved overdraft limit, you must put the account in credit promptly and you will pay NAB interest on the amount overdrawn at the overdrawn debit interest rate charged by NAB for the account from time to time.

3.10 The overdrawn debit interest rate is set out in NAB’s flyer ‘Indicator Rates – Deposit Products’ and available at nab.com.au. You will be notified of any change to the overdrawn debit interest rate. It is also available from NAB at any time. The interest is calculated on the daily debit balance of the account as at the end of each day and will be charged to the account on the last banking day of each month.

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

3.11 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.

GST offset arrangement

Who is eligible and how do I apply?

3.12 You may apply to NAB to participate in the GST offset arrangement. NAB may accept or reject your application at its discretion.

3.13 The GST offset arrangement is only available on certain overdraft accounts specified by NAB from time to time, details of which can be obtained from NAB. However, at any one time, only one overdraft account can be linked to the NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer).

3.14 A GST offset arrangement may not link an overdraft account with a NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) which includes a name or names other than the name(s) in which the overdraft account is held.

3.15 While you have a GST offset arrangement, the following relevant terms relate to the calculation and payment of interest applying to:

(a) a NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer); and

(b) your linked overdraft account.

Offset arrangement

3.16 While you have a GST offset arrangement your linked NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) will not earn any credit interest even if the credit balance of that account exceeds the unpaid balance of your linked overdraft account.

3.17 You or NAB may end the GST offset arrangement by giving 7 days’ notice to the other.

However, if you default under your linked overdraft account, NAB may end the GST offset arrangement immediately by giving you a notice to this effect.

3.18 It is your responsibility to monitor the credit balance of the NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer), as against the unpaid balance of your linked overdraft account to achieve the best results for you under the GST offset arrangement.

NAB 100% Offset

3.19 The interest charges which would otherwise be payable for the month under your linked overdraft account will be calculated in accordance with the usual interest calculations for that overdraft account. For the purposes of the GST offset arrangement, monthly interest will be calculated on the credit balance of the NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) at the same interest rate and interest calculation as that applied to the overdraft account. The actual debit interest charged to the working account will be the sum of the overdraft account interest calculations minus the credit interest calculations for the NAB 100% Offset Account. As stated at 3.16, in order to have an effective offset arrangement, the working account cannot earn any credit interest.

3.20 If the credit balance of the linked NAB GST Business Offset Account (Farmer) exceeds the unpaid balance of your linked overdraft account at the end of a day, no interest will be charged under the overdraft account for that day.

3.21 If the overdraft account exceeds its agreed limit:

(a) the rate as set out in the terms and conditions of your overdraft facility will be applied to the excess amount overdrawn regardless of any GST offset arrangement which may apply; and

(b) the GST offset arrangement will be applied, in accordance with clause 3.8, to the amount drawn down equal to the agreed overdraft limit.

Closing your account

3.22 You or any other authorised person can request to close your account by visiting a NAB branch, calling our contact centre, 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 exercise its discretion to close an account due to unsatisfactory conduct or any other reason it deems appropriate, such as where an account that is designed for use by our business customers is being used for personal purposes. In this event, NAB will provide you notice in writing.

4 Payment Facilities

Cheques

NAB provides cheque access to certain accounts. These are listed in the Product Comparison Table. If you have cheque access to an account, the following terms and conditions apply:

4.1 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 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.

(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 dishonour payment of the cheque on your behalf.

4.2 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 advise NAB by phone, your written confirmation may be required.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

4.3 Dishonouring cheques

(a) Your cheque may (at NAB discretion) 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.

4.4 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.

4.5 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.

4.6 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.

4.7 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.

4.8 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.

4.9 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.

4.10 Special clearance

If you want fast clearance of a cheque you deposit, you can ask NAB for a special clearance. You will be provided with an estimate of the time it will take and any applicable fees. The amount and nature of these fees are also detailed in NAB's brochure 'Business Banking Fees - A Guide to Fees and Charges' available from NAB at any time.

4.11 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, in its discretion, 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.

4.12 Bank cheques

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.

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.

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

(a) the bank cheque is forged or counterfeit;

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

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

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

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

(g) 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.

Direct debits

You may make regular payments to a third party ('Debit User'), by authorising the Debit User to debit your account with NAB. For eligible accounts refer to the Product Comparison Table.

4.13 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.

4.14 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 13 10 12.
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.

4.15 Cancellation of direct debit authority

(a) You may cancel your direct debit arrangements with a Debit User by calling NAB on 13 10 12 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.

4.16 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.

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

4.17 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.

You must check your statements

4.18 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.

Indemnity

4.19 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 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. NAB will debit your account for the relevant amount.

General matters

4.20 The terms and conditions in Part B of this page entitled 'General Matters' are included in these terms and conditions.

PayID and Osko Payments

4.21 You can create a PayID, and make and receive Osko Payments and other NPP payments from certain account types. For eligible accounts, refer to the Product Comparison Table .

Part G sets out additional terms and conditions in relation to PayID, Osko and NPP Payments.

Part B: General matters for all accounts, cards and services

5 General Matters

The following terms and conditions are included in the terms and conditions applying to all accounts, products and services on this page.

5.1 Each of the accounts, products and services on this page will be subject to the terms and conditions in this Part B and the applicable specific terms and conditions described on this page (together 'these terms and conditions'). If there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any other terms and conditions applicable to an account (for example in relation to an overdraft facility) then those other terms and conditions prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

5.2 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.

5.3 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.

5.4 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.

5.5 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.

5.6 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.

6 Banking Code of Practice

6.1 NAB has adopted the Banking Code of Practice and relevant provisions of the Code apply to these products, if you are an individual or a small business customer (as defined by the Code).

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.

What goods and services tax and other taxes and charges apply?

9.4 If NAB is liable to pay goods and services or any similar tax (GST) on a supply made in connection with the account, you agree to pay to NAB (on demand) an additional amount equal to the consideration payable for the supply multiplied by the prevailing GST rate.

What conditions apply to joint accounts?

9.5 If there are two or more of you, you will be treated as holding the account jointly and NAB may accept for credit to the account any cheque, payment order or bill of exchange that is payable to all of you. This means that each account holder has the right to all of the balance of the account, jointly with the other account holders.

9.6 If any of you die, the account will be treated as the account of the survivor or survivors jointly.

9.7 Unless any of you request otherwise, NAB statements and notices (including notification of any variation to these terms and conditions) will be forwarded to the first of you named in the account.

10 Can NAB choose not to apply a fee or charge?

10.1 NAB may at its discretion waive any fee or charge to the account to which it is entitled. The failure by NAB to collect any fee or charge that applies to the account does not give rise to a waiver of that fee or charge in the future.

13A.2 You declare and undertake to NAB that you do not have any reason to suspect that any payment NAB makes in accordance with any instructions you give NAB using the services detailed in this booklet will breach any law in Australia or any other country.

The following terms and conditions apply to the use of NAB Business Visa Debit cards with your linked transaction account. In addition to the terms and conditions in this Part C, the terms and conditions in Part B of this booklet also apply to your NAB Business Visa Debit card.

Where we refer to use of, or using your NAB Business Visa Debit card, this includes use of, or using your card details as well where relevant. Please read the definition of ‘use’ in Part C of the Definitions of this booklet for more information.

14 When do these NAB Business Visa Debit card terms and conditions apply?

14.1 The terms and conditions set up in Part C apply when you accept them by using your NAB Business Visa Debit card or card details.

15.3 NAB may at any time issue a new NAB Business Visa Debit card to you for use subject to these terms and conditions.

15.5 You are responsible for the security of any NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details issued to you. Any NAB Business Visa Debit card issued to you is for your use only.

Additional NAB Business Visa Debit cards

15.6 If requested by you, NAB may issue a NAB Business Visa Debit card to any person whom you have authorised to operate your linked transaction account. In addition, NAB may at any time replace any NAB Debit cards issued to any person authorised to operate your linked transaction account with a NAB Business Visa Debit card.

15.7 You are responsible to NAB for the operation by an authorised cardholder of the NAB Business Visa Debit card (and card details) issued to them and your linked transaction account. NAB does not impose any joint or several liability on the authorised cardholder. You are liable to NAB if an authorised cardholder does not comply with these terms and conditions.

15.8 For this reason, you should ensure that any authorised cardholder receives a copy of these terms and conditions. The authorised cardholder should read and understand the terms and conditions set out in Parts C, D and where applicable, Part E.

15.10 Subject to the terms and conditions of any electronic banking facility, if an authorised cardholder has a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or other identifying number or password for use in relation to their NAB Business Visa Debit card (and card details) or the linked transaction account, the authorised cardholder can access your linked transaction account through use of their NAB Business Visa Debit card (and card details) and PIN or other identifying number or passwords.

15.11 You can cancel an authorised cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card by:

(a) instructing NAB in a manner acceptable to NAB that you wish this to be done; and

(b) taking all reasonable steps to return that cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card to NAB or otherwise destroying that cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card by cutting it diagonally in half through the magnetic strip and chip. If you request NAB to cancel an authorised cardholder’s card, you must immediately notify the additional NAB Business Visa Debit cardholder of your request.

Note: Cancelling an authorised cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card will not automatically revoke that person’s authority to operate your linked transaction account for non-card based transactions. If you wish to also revoke the authority of the relevant person to operate your linked transaction account, you must let us know and complete any additional steps that we reasonably require.

15.12 If you make a request to cancel an authorised cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card in accordance with clause 15.11, you are responsible for:

(a) transactions generated by use of the relevant NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details until you have made the request; and

(b) transactions generated by use of the relevant NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details which are processed to your linked transaction account after NAB receives your request.

Use of NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details

15.13 A NAB Business Visa Debit card may be honoured by financial institutions and merchants displaying a sign or card promotional material that identifies the Visa card scheme. This does not mean that all goods and services available at those premises may be purchased by use of a NAB Business Visa Debit card.

15.14 You may be able to use your NAB Business Visa Debit card details through an electronic banking facility. This includes when the NAB Business Visa Debit card details are used at a merchant by mail, telephone order or through the Internet to pay for goods or services. In this instance:

(a) use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card details through an electronic banking facility will be subject to the terms and conditions of the electronic banking facility; and

(b) where the terms and conditions of Part C conflicts with those of the electronic banking facility’s terms and conditions, the electronic banking facility terms and conditions will prevail.

15.15 You should ensure that the transaction amount is correct before you authorise the transaction.

15.16 NAB is not responsible for goods or services supplied to a cardholder, and any complaint must be resolved with the merchant. In some circumstances NAB may be able to lodge a claim to request a refund for you under the card scheme’s rules for disputed transactions. Details about chargeback rights and the procedures for disputing transactions are described in clause 21.

15.17 A NAB Business Visa Debit card transaction cannot be changed. It is an unchangeable order by you to NAB to process the transaction. You may not request NAB to alter or stop payment on the transaction. To cancel periodical debits authorised to be made by your NAB Business Visa Debit card you must contact the merchant and give directions to cancel them.

15.18 Your NAB Business Visa Debit card must not be used for any unlawful purpose, including the purchase of goods or services, prohibited by any law in the cardholder’s jurisdiction.

15.19 NAB may temporarily block the use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card where it has reason to suspect inappropriate, unauthorised or unlawful activity on your NAB Business Visa Debit card. NAB will endeavour to contact you in this event.

15.20 You are encouraged to maintain a record of any regular payment arrangement you elect to enter into with a merchant. A regular payment arrangement includes regular direct debits, regular recurring payments and instalment payments from a debit card. Instalment payments are regular payments over a set period of time. 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.

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

16.1 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.

16.2 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 17.1 except to the extent that the relevant transaction has already led to a reduction in the amount of available balance.

16.3 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.

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

16.5 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.

17 Processing of transactions by NAB

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

(a) each purchase;

(b) each cash withdrawal; and

17.2 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

18 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.

19 Statements and currency conversion

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

19.2 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.)

20 Lost/stolen cards

20.1 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.

20.2 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.

20.3 Despite notifying NAB of an event described in clause 20.1 , you remain liable for any cash withdrawal or purchase made by you.

20.4 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.

20.5 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.

21 Disputed transactions

21.1 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.

21.2 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.

21.3 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.

21.4 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.

21.5 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 21.4. 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.

21.6 Electronic transactions

If the ePayments Code is applicable to a disputed transaction, the timeframes as specified in clause 21.4 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.

22 Cancellation of your card

22.1 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.

22.2 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 7, 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.

22.3 Regular payment arrangements (including direct debits)

(a) If your NAB Business Visa Debit card is cancelled under clause 22.2, 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.

22.4 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 22 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).

23 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’ available from NAB at any time. Any fees and charges paid by you are not refundable.

24 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.

Part D: NAB Electronic Banking terms and conditions – business accounts

The rights and obligations outlined in Part D of this page comply with both the ePayments Code and the Banking Code of Practice. In addition, the terms and conditions in Part B of this page apply to any use of NAB electronic equipment as set out in the terms and conditions in Part D of this page.

These channels have separate terms and conditions of use.

25.4 Other terms and conditions

(b) NAB Business Visa Debit cards - the terms and conditions for which are detailed in Part C of this booklet; and

Unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions, the terms and conditions do not change or amend any of the existing rules, regulations, terms and conditions and disclosures pertaining to these cards or nominated accounts.

If there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions in this Part D and the terms and conditions applying to your NAB Business Visa Debit card or nominated account, these Electronic Banking terms and conditions – business accounts apply to the extent any inconsistency exists in respect of EFT transactions, except for notice of cancellation or revocation of any electronic banking facility.

25.5 Account holder to ensure distribution

Account holders must ensure that each cardholder is provided with a copy of these terms and conditions before any of the events referred to in clause 25.1.

26 Limits on EFT transactions

26.1 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.

26.2 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 transaction account to which your NAB Business Visa Debit card is linked as your primary account. You may also nominate additional accounts being one main cheque or one main savings account. Home loan and personal loan accounts can be linked to enable crediting or checking the current balance at a NAB ATM or NAB branch.

(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 cheque or savings account to which the NAB Business Visa Debit card is linked. That is, an individual EFTPOS transaction must be debited to 1 account, although a separate transaction may be debited to another designated 'main account'.

NAB Debit cards

The Main Nominated Accounts comprise:

(a) two main cheque accounts or two main statement savings accounts, (including home and personal loan accounts but excluding credit card accounts) or one of each; and

(b) if a card is a credit card, the credit card account.

Furthermore, three additional accounts of either or both of the above account types (excluding credit card accounts) may be accessed by each card.

However, some types of electronic equipment may not allow access to all types of accounts.

EFTPOS terminals permit access to your nominated account(s) and will debit a transaction to one of your nominated account(s) being a cheque or statement savings account. That is, an individual EFTPOS transaction must be debited to 1 account, although a separate transaction may be debited to another designated 'main account'.

26.3 Amounts withdrawn or transferred

NAB reserves the right to limit the amount which may be withdrawn or transferred from a nominated account by way of certain EFT transactions.

A daily limit applies from midnight to midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time or Australian Eastern Standard Summer Time (whichever is applicable).

NAB Debit cardholders

A daily limit applies to all purchases and withdrawals of cash undertaken using your card and PIN.

NAB Business Visa Debit cardholders

A daily limit applies to all ATM cash withdrawals or to the cash component of a transaction made at an EFTPOS terminal under clause 27.3.

You will be advised of these specific limits when issued with your card, and you will be subsequently advised of any change to these limits. The limits advised by NAB are not an undertaking by NAB to limit the amounts withdrawn or transferred by use of NAB card based electronic banking facilities. However, the advised limit does limit your liability for unauthorised transactions (see clause 30).

26.4 Valid and irrevocable authority

Your use of a card, card account details or PIN through electronic equipment to initiate an EFT transaction is an unchangeable order to NAB to process the EFT transaction. NAB relies on this as authority to debit the amount shown. Neither a cardholder nor an accoun tholder may request NAB to stop or alter the EFT transaction. However, the account holder's liability for the EFT transaction could be limited in terms of clause 30.3.

27 Card based electronic banking facilities

27.1 NAB ATMs

Subject to the terms and conditions applying to your nominated account, your card and PIN enable you to use NAB ATMs as determined by NAB.

NAB ATMs allow you to withdraw or transfer funds between all nominated accounts, obtain a record of recent transactions, order a repeat statement and check your account balances. Some NAB ATMs may also allow you to deposit funds into a nominated account and to change your PIN.

It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the correct use of ATMs. If you're unsure or require assistance in the operation of the ATM, please seek assistance from staff at a NAB outlet or contact NAB using the customer service details in Summary of Important Information at the top of this page.

27.2 ATMs provided by other institutions

ATMs provided by other institutions accepting cards may allow you to withdraw funds and check your designated main nominated account(s) balances. Institutions providing other ATMs accepting cards may impose their own fees and restrictions on the operation of the cards with their ATMs including limits to the amounts which may be withdrawn. NAB accepts no responsibility for such fees and restrictions.

27.3 EFTPOS terminals provided by merchants

EFTPOS terminals allow you to pay for purchases and may allow the option of withdrawing extra cash from your designated main nominated account(s) at certain locations. Merchants providing EFTPOS terminals accepting cards may impose their own fees and restrictions on the operation of the cards with their EFTPOS terminals including limits to the amounts which may be withdrawn. NAB accepts no responsibility for such fees and restrictions.

27.4 Other transactions through electronic equipment

(Such as using a merchant internet site on a computer or by communicating through telephone or electronic mail with a merchant). The merchant or other person may impose their own restrictions on these EFT transactions (such as a purchase at a merchant using a contactless reader). Contactless readers give you the option of making purchases up to the limit notified to you by NAB. NAB has no control over whether a merchant will accept this form of contactless purchase. The merchant or other person may impose their own restrictions on these EFT transactions.NAB accepts no responsibility for any such restrictions in connection with any such transactions through electronic equipment.

Note: Using digital wallets on mobile phone devices and wearable devices
Irrespective of the value of the purchase, cardholders may not be required to enter a PIN in the contactless reader when making a contactless purchase where the electronic equipment is an eligible wearable device or mobile phone. You will be notified about this at the time you enrol for the digital wallet.

27.5 Functionality

The processing of an EFT transaction to a particular account will depend on the functionality of the electronic equipment (for example an overseas ATM may process a transaction to a nominated account(s) which you did not seek to initiate). NAB accepts no responsibility for this differing functionality.

27.6 Fees

Fees may apply to any EFT transaction you undertake with NAB card based electronic banking facilities, the amount and nature of which are detailed in 'Business Banking Fees - A guide to fees and charges'.

28 Operation of card based electronic banking services

28.1 Receipts

(a) It is desirable for you to retain or record receipts to verify your account statements;

(b) The issuing of a receipt by an EFTPOS terminal or ATM may be accepted by NAB as evidence that the transaction has been performed. This condition does not apply to deposits lodged in ATMs (see clauses 29.1 and 29.2).

28.2 Statements

(a) Credit card account statements are provided in terms of the credit card's specific terms and conditions. For other nominated accounts NAB will provide you with a statement at least every 6 months. You may request more frequent statements if you wish. To request a change to the frequency of your statement, please contact NAB using the customer service enquiry details in the Summary of Important Information at the top of this page.

(b) For the purposes of preparing statements, NAB reserves the right to show an EFT transaction as having been carried out on the next or subsequent banking day(s) after the day the transaction was made.

28.3 Review statements of account

You should always review your statement and bring to NAB attention any discrepancies, errors or unauthorised transactions as soon as possible. If you wish to dispute an EFT transaction, you must report this to NAB. Please refer to customer service details in Summary of Important Information at the top of this page.

28.4 Discrepancies in cash delivered by an ATM

When withdrawing cash from an ATM, you should immediately check that the correct sum has been delivered. If there is a discrepancy between the amount of cash delivered by an ATM, and the amount shown on the receipt, report the facts as soon as possible to NAB. Please refer to the customer service details in Summary of Important Information at the top of this page.

28.5 Cards

Remember to take proper care of your card. Do not keep your card in contact with other cards that have a magnetic strip. Magnetic strips can react with each other and if this occurs your card may no longer operate an ATM or EFTPOS terminal.

(a) Your card is issued with validity dates denoting month and year e.g. 06/09 is June 2009. The commencing date is the first day of the month, the expiry date the last day of the month. Cards are not valid before or after these dates.

Expired cards must be destroyed.

(b) You agree that your card remains the property of NAB. You further agree to return the card to NAB or destroy the card by cutting it vertically in half through its magnetic strip upon

i. notice from NAB cancelling your card; or

ii. closure of all your nominated accounts; or

iii. revocation of authority to operate your nominated accounts by means of your card.

(c) Your card may be confiscated by an ATM if you repeat invalid PIN entries. The number of additional entries allowed after the first invalid entry may be varied at NAB discretion and is not subject to any prior notice.

28.6 EFTPOS terminal malfunction

In the event of an EFTPOS terminal malfunction or failure, the merchant may provide alternative manual procedures to enable a transaction to be made. You will be required to present your card for imprinting of a transaction voucher, indicate one of the main nominated accounts, and sign the transaction voucher. (The procedure is similar to that used for paper voucher credit card transactions.) NAB reserves the right to vary the manual procedure at any time.

If you have indicated on the paper voucher that a main nominated account is to be debited, and that account is closed or has insufficient funds available, NAB may redirect the debit entry to the other main nominated account without notice to you.

28.7 Merchants

NAB will not be liable for the refusal of any merchant to accept a card, or card account details.

Any complaints concerning goods and services purchased must generally be resolved with the merchant.

28.8 Promotional material

Promotional material referring to NAB card based electronic banking facilities that is displayed on or in any premises, is not to be taken as a warranty by NAB, or by the merchant carrying on a business in those premises, that all goods and services may be purchased by means of an EFT transaction. You also accept that the use of your card and card account details may be subject to other limitations imposed by the merchant.

29 Deposits

29.1 Cash deposits at ATMs

When making a cash deposit at an ATM you should be aware that such deposits may not be credited to your account immediately.

A cash deposit lodged in an ATM is subject to verification and at NAB discretion may not be credited to your account until the following banking day. Deposits made at an ATM after 6.00pm will be credited to your account within 2 banking days.

In the event of a discrepancy between the deposit value determined by NAB and the amount recorded by the ATM, the account holder will be promptly advised of the actual amount which has been credited to the nominated account. Remember to include the ATM deposit advice in the envelope with the deposit, as failure to do so may delay funds being credited to your account. NAB reserves the right to correct or reverse any such deposit transaction.

NAB will accept responsibility for the security of your deposit correctly lodged at an ATM which offers depositing services, subject to verification of the amount deposited. You should keep all records associated with a deposit that you make via an ATM until the deposit is verified and recorded on your account statement.

Where the claimed deposit is not available for verification following forceful removal of the ATM or other criminal act, NAB requires you to reasonably substantiate the value of your claim.

29.2 Deposits in the form of cheques

If you make a deposit in the form of, or including a cheque, the funds of the cheque are not available for withdrawal until the cheque reaches the paying bank and NAB is guaranteed payment. (This condition applies to deposits made through an ATM or at a NAB outlet.) In the event of a discrepancy between the value of cheques deposited as determined by NAB and your deposit claim, NAB will inform you. NAB reserves the right to correct or reverse any such deposit transaction.

Because of the requirements of NAB systems, NAB reserves the right to place a 'hold' on the full amount of a deposit which includes a cheque.

For example, where a deposit includes cash and 1 or more cheques, the hold applies to the cash component as well as to the value of cheques.

Holds are normally applied for 3 banking days, and transactions requiring use of these funds may be refused within this period.

Therefore, if you wish to deposit cash and expect to withdraw against the sum of that cash within the 3 day period, you are advised to deposit the cash separately from the cheques. (That is, make 2 deposit transactions).

NAB will not be responsible for any claim or refusal of a transaction if this condition is disregarded. You are entitled to enquire at any NAB outlet if holds are to be applied to any deposit.

Subject to clause 30, you, the cardholder, agree to indemnify NAB against all claims or liabilities it may incur as a consequence of it collecting a cheque of which you are not the true owner.

30 Responsibilities and liabilities

30.1 Your responsibilities with respect to the card

You must:

(a) sign your card immediately on receipt;

(b) keep your card in a safe place, and provide reasonable protection for the card from theft;

(c) notify NAB should your card be lost or stolen (refer to the `Lost/Stolen Cards
Compromised Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)' details in Summary of Important
Information at the front of this booklet);

(d) advise any change of address (refer to Customer Service details in Summary
of Important Information at the front of this booklet);

(e) use your card in accordance with these Electronic Banking terms and conditions - business accounts;

(f) destroy an expired card; and

(g) if a temporary card has been issued to you, destroy it upon receipt of a personalised card.

30.2 General responsibility

The account holder is generally responsible for all EFT transactions authorised by the use of the card and/or PIN and/or the card account details or undertaken by another person with your knowledge and/or consent. The account holder's liability for any use not authorised by you may however be limited as provided below.

30.3 No Account holder liability in some circumstances

The account holder is not liable for:

(a) losses that are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of NAB employees or agents or companies involved in networking arrangements or of merchants or of their agents or employees;

(b) losses arising because the PIN, card account details or card is forged, faulty, expired, or cancelled;

(c) losses that arise from EFT transactions which required the use of your card or your PIN and that occurred before you received your card or PIN;

(d) losses that are caused by the same EFT transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to the same account;

(e) losses resulting from unauthorised transactions occurring after notification to NAB that the card has been misused, lost or stolen or the security of the PIN has been breached;

(f) losses resulting from unauthorised transactions where it is clear that you have not contributed to such losses.

30.4 Account holder liability for unauthorised transactions

The account holder is liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions as provided below:

(a) where NAB can prove on the balance of probability that you contributed to the losses through your fraud or your contravention of the security requirements in clause 30.5 the account holder is liable for the actual losses which occur before NAB is notified that the card has been misused, lost or stolen or that the security of the PIN has been breached; and

(b) where NAB can prove on the balance of probability that you contributed to losses resulting from unauthorised transactions because you unreasonably delayed notifying NAB after becoming aware of the misuse, loss or theft of the card, or that the security of the PIN has been breached. The account holder will then be liable for the actual losses which occur between the time you became aware (or should reasonably have become aware in the case of a lost or stolen card) and when NAB was actually notified.
However in relation to (a) and (b) above, the account holder will not be liable for any of the following amounts:

i. that portion of the losses incurred on any 1 day which exceed the applicable daily transaction limit(s);

ii. that portion of the losses incurred in a period which exceeds any other periodic transaction limit(s) applicable to that period;

iii. that portion of the total losses incurred on any account which exceeds the balance of your account(s) (including any pre-arranged credit);

iv. all losses incurred on any accounts which NAB and the account holder had not agreed could be accessed using your card and PIN.

(c) where a PIN was required to perform the unauthorised transactions and neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies, the account holder is liable for the least of:

i. $150; or

ii. the balance of those account(s) (including any prearranged credit) from which value was transferred in the unauthorised transactions and which NAB and the account holder have agreed may be accessed using the PIN; or

iii. the actual loss at the time NAB is notified (where relevant) that the card has been misused, lost or stolen or that the security of the PIN has been breached (excluding that portion of the losses incurred on any 1 day which exceeds any applicable daily transaction or other periodic transaction limit(s))

30.4A The account holder is liable for losses arising from unauthorised transactions that occur because you contributed to the losses by leaving a card in an ATM.

30.5 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.

30.6 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 30.6 are for your assistance but your liability in the case of an actual loss will be governed by the ePayments Code and clause 30.5 in this booklet. However, you should take care to meet the guidelines set out in clause 30.6 as a failure to meet these guidelines may in some circumstances constitute an act of extreme carelessness under clause 30.5(a)(iii).

30.7 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 Identifiction 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.

30.8 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.

30.9 Failure of NAB electronic equipment

(a) If the ePayments Code applies to you for an EFT transaction, NAB will be liable to you for losses you suffer caused by the failure of NAB’s electronic equipment or system to complete an EFT transaction accepted by NAB’s system or NAB’s electronic equipment in accordance with your instructions. (See clause 31 for when the ePayments Code applies).

35.1 This clause sets out important rules which may govern an account holder’s liability for unauthorised transactions. The liability provisions set out below overrides clause 36 to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency for all personal EFT transactions.

35.2 When the account holder is not liable

The account holder is not liable for:

(a) losses that are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of NAB employees or agents or companies involved in networking arrangements or of merchants or of their agents or employees;

(b) losses arising because the NAB ID, authentication service and/or password is forged, faulty, expired, or cancelled;

(c) losses that arise from personal EFT transactions which required the use of the authentication service and/or password and that occurred before the user received the authentication service and/or password;

(d) losses that are caused by the same personal EFT transaction being incorrectly debited more than once to the same account;

(e) losses resulting from unauthorised transactions occurring after notification to NAB that the security of the authentication service and/or password has been breached;

(f) losses resulting from unauthorised transactions where it is clear that the user has not contributed to such losses.

35.3 When the account holder is liable

The account holder will be liable for losses resulting from unauthorised transactions as provided below:

(a) where NAB can prove on the balance of probability that the user contributed to the losses through the user’s fraud or contravention of the security requirements in clause 35.4, the account holder is liable for the actual losses which occur before NAB is notified that the security of the authentication service and/or password has been breached; and

(b) where NAB can prove on the balance of probability that where the user contributed to losses resulting from unauthorised transactions because the user unreasonably delayed notifying NAB after becoming aware that the security of the authentication service and/or password has been breached. The account holder will then be liable for the actual losses which occur between the time the user became aware and when NAB was actually notified.

However, in relation to (a) and (b) above, for losses arising from unauthorised transactions the account holder will not be liable to pay:

i. the portion of losses incurred on any 1 day which exceeds the applicable daily transaction limit(s) (if any);

ii. the portion of losses incurred in a period which exceeds any other periodic transaction limit(s) applicable to that period;

iii. the portion of the total losses incurred on any account which exceeds the balance of that account (including any prearranged credit);

iv. all losses incurred on any accounts which the account holder and NAB had not agreed could be accessed using the authentication service and/or password.

Where the authentication service and/or password was required to perform the unauthorised transaction(s) and neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies, the account holder is liable for the lesser of:

i. $150;

iii. the actual loss at the time NAB is notified that the security of the authentication service and/or password has become known to someone else (excluding that portion of the losses incurred on any 1 day which exceeds any applicable daily transaction or other periodic transaction limit(s)).

35.4 User’s responsibilities under the ePayments Code

(a) Where NAB provides the user with an authentication service and/or password the user must:

i. not voluntarily disclose the authentication service and/or password to anyone including a family member or friend, except when you are creating an authorised user;

ii. not act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of the authentication service and/or password; and

iii. not record the password without making any reasonable attempt to protect the security of the password record on the 1 article or on several articles so that they are liable to loss or theft simultaneously.

(b) Where NAB allows the user to select a password or change the user’s password the user must not select:

i. a numeric code which represents the user’s birth date; or

ii. an alphabetical code which is a recognisable part of the user’s name.

Either of these selections may mean you are liable for losses caused by unauthorised transactions caused by a breach of the security of the password.

35.5 Failure of NAB equipment or NAB system

NAB will be liable to users for losses users suffer, caused by the failure of NAB equipment or NAB system to complete a personal EFT transaction accepted by NAB equipment or NAB system in accordance with the user’s instructions.

However, where the user should have been aware that NAB equipment or NAB system was unavailable for use or malfunctioning, NAB responsibilities will be limited to the correction of any errors in the account holder’s account and the refund of any charges or fees imposed on the account holder as a result.

NAB will also not be liable for any losses caused by the failure of NAB equipment or NAB system where NAB equipment or NAB system had not accepted the personal EFT transaction.

35.6 Advising NAB

If the user believes the security of the user’s authentication service and/or password has been breached, the user must advise on 13 10 12 as soon as possible. Once NAB has been notified of these matters the account holder’s liability for further personal EFT transactions will be limited. Where telephone facilities for notification 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. NAB, will acknowledge the user’s report, and the user should record or retain this acknowledgment.

35.7 Credit and charge cards

Notwithstanding the rest of clause 35 where the user notifies NAB of an unauthorised transaction on a credit card or charge card account, 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 credit card scheme.

36 Allocation of liabilities for business EFT transactions

36.1 You are not liable for any losses:

(a) where it is clear that a user has not contributed to those losses;

(b) that are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of NAB employees or agents;

(c) resulting from unauthorised transactions occurring after you notify NAB that a user’s password has become known to someone else or the user’s authentication service has been compromised.

36.2 Where it is unclear whether or not a user has contributed to the losses resulting from unauthorised transactions on an account using the service, you are only liable to pay $150.

36.3 Where it is clear that a user has contributed to the losses because a user has failed to comply with clause 45 or you unreasonably delay notifying NAB under clause 47.5, then you are liable for those losses except for that portion of the losses incurred which exceed the balance of your account(s) (including any prearranged credit facility) or that portion of the losses incurred which exceed the total amount you are able to withdraw from your account(s) on the days the unauthorised use took place.

36.4 In the absence of a breach of duty or obligation owed to you, NAB is not liable for any loss or damage caused directly or indirectly to a user by:

(a) any breakdown or interruption in the service due to circumstances beyond NAB control;

(b) a scheme through which you can receive or access bills or statements electronically (Bpay View) from participating billers nominated by;

i. receiving an email sent to you whenever a bill or statement is received by us which directs you to link to the service via nab.com.au or

(d) When a user tells NAB to make a Bpay payment, the user must give NAB the required information specified in clause 56.4. NAB will then debit the specified account with the amount of that Bpay payment.

_{^®Registered to Bpay Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518}

56.2 How to use the Bpay Scheme

(a) A Bpay payment can be made from any account provided:

i. NAB will allow transfers from the account;

ii. there are sufficient funds or credit available in the account to meet the value of the Bpay payment; and

iii. the relevant biller agrees to accept the account.

(b) When a credit card is used to pay a bill through the Bpay Scheme, NAB treats that payment as a credit card purchase transaction.

(c) You acknowledge that the receipt by a biller of any mistaken or erroneous payment does not or will not constitute under any circumstances part or whole satisfaction of any underlying debt owed between the user and that biller.

56.3 Valid payment direction

Bpay payment instructions will be valid if, when the instruction is given to NAB, the NAB ID and password is used correctly.

56.4 Information you must give NAB

To instruct NAB to make a Bpay payment, a user must:

(a) enter the correct NAB ID and password;

(b) enter and select the appropriate biller code;

(d) enter the customer reference number;

(e) enter the amount to be paid; and

(f) confirm the details entered (if correct).

NAB shall not be obliged to effect a Bpay payment if NAB is not given all of the above information or if any of the information given to NAB is inaccurate.

56.5 Payments

(a) NAB will not accept your instructions to stop a Bpay payment once instructed to make that Bpay payment.

(b) A user should notify NAB immediately if the user becomes aware of making a mistake (except for errors relating to payment amount, which should be notified to the biller) when instructing NAB to make a Bpay payment, or if the user did not authorise a Bpay payment made from your account.

(c) Subject to clause 56.8, billers who participate in the Bpay Scheme are required to agree that a Bpay payment you make will be treated as received by the biller to whom it is directed:

i. on the date that Bpay payment is made, if NAB is told to make the Bpay payment before NAB cut-off time for Bpay payments on a banking day; or

ii. on the next banking day, if NAB is told to make a Bpay payment after NAB cut-off time for Bpay payments on a banking day, or on a non-banking day.

However, please note that NAB cannot always control when a biller will actually treat the payment as being received.

(d) A delay might occur in the processing of a Bpay payment where:

i. there is a public or bank holiday on the day after NAB is told to make a Bpay payment;

ii. NAB is told to make a Bpay payment either on a day which is not a banking day or after NAB cut-off time for Bpay payments on a banking day;

iii. another financial institution participating in the Bpay Scheme does not comply with its obligations under the Bpay Scheme; or

iv. a biller fails to comply with its obligations under the Bpay Scheme.

(e) While it is expected that any delay in processing for any reason set out in clause 56.5(d) will not continue for more than 1 banking day, any such delay may continue for a longer period.

(f) A user must be careful to ensure that NAB is told the correct amount to be paid. If a user instructs NAB to make a Bpay payment and a user later discovers that:

i. the amount NAB was told to pay was greater than the amount needed to be paid, you must contact the biller to obtain a refund of the excess.

ii. the amount NAB is told to pay was less than the amount needed to be paid, you can make another Bpay payment for the difference between the amount actually paid to a biller and the amount needed to be paid.

56.6 Liability for mistaken payments, unauthorised transactions and fraud

(a) If under this clause you are liable for an unauthorised or fraudulent payment as a result of a Bpay billing error and the ePayments Code applies, then your liability is limited to the lesser of:

i. the amount of that unauthorised or fraudulent payment; and

ii. the limit (if any) of your liability set out in clause 35 of this booklet.

If (ii) applies, then NAB will be liable to you for the difference between the amount for which you are liable and the amount of the unauthorised or fraudulent payment.

(b) NAB will attempt to make sure that Bpay payments are processed promptly by the participants in the Bpay Scheme. A user must tell NAB promptly if the user:

i. becomes aware of any delays or mistakes in processing Bpay payments;

ii. did not authorise a Bpay payment that has been made from your account; or

iii. thinks that you have been fraudulently induced to make a Bpay payment. NAB will attempt to rectify any such matters in relation to your Bpay payments in the way described in this clause. However, except as set out in clauses 56.6, and 35 to 37, NAB will not be liable for any loss or damage (including consequential loss or damage) a user suffers as a result of using the Bpay Scheme.

The longer the delay between when you tell NAB of the error and the date of your Bpay payment, the more difficult it may be to perform the error correction. If this is the case, you will need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the biller to correct the error.

(c) If a Bpay payment is made to a person or for an amount which is not in accordance with your instructions (if any), and your account was debited for the amount of that payment, NAB will credit that amount to your account. However, if a user was responsible for a mistake resulting in that payment and NAB cannot recover within 20 banking days of NAB attempting to do so the amount of that payment from the person who received it, you must pay NAB that amount.

(d) If a Bpay payment is made in accordance with a payment direction which appeared to NAB to be from you or on your behalf but for which you did not give authority, NAB will credit your account with the amount of that unauthorised payment.

However, you must pay NAB the amount of that unauthorised payment if:

i. NAB cannot recover within 20 banking days of NAB attempting to do so that amount from the person who received it; and

ii. the payment was made as a result of a payment direction which did not comply with NAB prescribed security procedures for such payment directions.

If NAB is able to recover part of the amount of that payment from the person who received it, you must only pay NAB the amount of that payment that was not able to be recovered.

(e) If a Bpay payment is induced by the fraud of a person involved in the Bpay Scheme, then that person should refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if that person does not refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment, you must bear the loss (including any consequential loss) unless some other person involved in the Bpay Scheme knew of the fraud or would have detected it with reasonable diligence, in which case that person must refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment that is not refunded to you by the person that induced the fraud.

(f) If a Bpay Payment made by a user falls within the type described in clauses 56.6(c) or 56.6(d) and the payment also falls within the type described in clause 56.6(e), then NAB will apply the principles stated in clauses 56.6(e).

(i) Except where a Bpay Payment is a mistaken payment referred to in clause 56.6(c), an unauthorised payment referred to in 56.6(d), or a fraudulent payment referred to in 56.6(e), Bpay Payments are irrevocable. No refunds will be provided through the Bpay Scheme where a user has a dispute with the biller about any goods or services a user may have agreed to acquire from the biller. Any dispute must be resolved with the biller.

Important

Even where a Bpay payment has been made using a credit card or a charge card no ‘chargeback’ rights will be available under the Bpay Scheme.

(g) You indemnify NAB against any loss or damage (including any consequential loss or damage) NAB may suffer due to any claim, demand or action of any kind brought against NAB arising directly or indirectly because a user acted negligently or fraudulently in connection with this agreement.

56.7 Suspension

NAB may suspend your right to participate in the Bpay Scheme at any time including your use of Bpay View. Examples of where we may do this include where your account is inactive and where NAB believes on reasonable grounds that your continued participation in the Bpay scheme may cause loss to NAB or to you. These examples are for guidance only and do not prevent NAB from suspending access for any other reason.

56.8 Bpay payment cut-off times

There are cut-off times and processing times for biller payments.

(a) NAB Telephone Banking cut-off times

The cut-off time is 6.30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time or Australian Eastern Standard Summer Time (whichever is applicable).

(b) NAB Internet Banking cut-off times

Please refer to the FAQs section in the Internet Banking section of nab.com.au for further details.

However, the payment may take longer to be credited to a biller if you tell NAB to make a payment on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday or if another participant in the Bpay Scheme does not process a Bpay payment as soon as they receive its details.

56.9 When a biller cannot process a payment

If NAB is advised that a payment cannot be processed by a biller, NAB will:

(a) advise you of this;

(b) credit your account with the amount of the Bpay payment; and

56.10 Account Records

You should check your account records carefully, and promptly report to NAB as soon as you become aware of any Bpay payments that you think are errors or are Bpay payments that you did not authorise or you think were made by someone else without your permission.

NAB is not liable for loss suffered by a user where:

(a) there is no breach of a legal duty of care owed to you by NAB or by any of its employees or agents; or

(b) such loss or damage is not reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach.
NAB will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from a breach by you of any

Part G: PayID, Osko and New Payments Platform

This Part G sets out terms and conditions applicable to use of the PayID service, Osko and other NPP Payments. This Part G applies in addition to your account terms and conditions in Part A, the general matters set out in Part B, and, where applicable Parts C to E.

71. About PayID

71.1 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.

71.2 For some account types, you can create a PayID (eg. 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').

For eligible accounts, refer to the Product Comparison Table in Part A of this booklet.

71.3 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 Pay ID 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.

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

71.5 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.

72 Your PayID

72.1 Creating your PayID

(a) You can create a PayID for your eligible 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; or

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 the right to use the PayID. If that person cannot establish that they are the rightful owner of the Pay ID, their financial institution is required to close of that PayID.

72.2 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.

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.

72.3 Privacy and disclosure

(a) By creating your PayID you acknowledge that you consent to our recording of your PayID, Pay ID 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.

(c) PayID and joint accounts
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.

72.4 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 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.

72.5 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.

72.6 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.

72.7 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.

72.8 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.

72.9 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 yourconsent, 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.

73 Making Payments to a PayID

73.1 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.

73.2 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.

73.3 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.

74 Osko

74.1 About Osko

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

(b) All eligible accounts can receive Osko Payments. 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. For eligible accounts, refer to the Product Comparison Table in this booklet.

74.2 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, 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.

74.3 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.

74.4 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.

74.5 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.

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 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.

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.
