Types of authorities
There are different ways to provide access to your personal or business accounts, depending on the type of authority you choose. Whether you’d like someone to help manage your banking, or transact across personal and business accounts, it’s important to understand how access will be granted. Taking the time to set up the right access ensures your accounts are managed securely.
Authorities and giving account access
What to consider
Deciding how to provide your account access to someone else is an important decision, so it’s worth taking the time to consider what best suits your personal situation. If you're unsure, it might be a good idea to chat with a professional, like a lawyer or accountant before giving certain types of authority.
