Accessible banking

The things you might need to get on with it.

Using this site

If you use a screen reader or assistive technology, you should be able to access information on our site.

Images

We add ALT text to all of our images. This way, if you use a screen reader, you’ll get a better understanding of what’s on the page.

Tables and forms

We've set things up so that your screen reader will be able to make sense of all of our forms and tables, too.

JavaScript

Our JavaScript is accessible to most assistive technologies. Just note that we sometimes use JavaScript to hide parts of a page – assistive technologies generally show all the content on a page.

PDF's

Sometimes, we use PDFs. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read these PDFs – alternatively, you can download a tool from the Adobe site that converts PDFs into web pages. Visit www.adobe.com.au to learn more.

Appointment of Representative

You can nominate either an operating or non-operating Appointment of Representative to assist with your banking. Appointment of Representative can call us on your behalf.

Operating Appointment of Representative – this means your representative can do any of your banking (note: it’s not available for superannuation and retirement or business accounts).

Non-Operating Appointment of Representative – this means your representative can access information about your account/s, but cannot transact (note: it’s not available for business accounts).

Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney is a legal document where you authorise another adult or adults to act on your behalf.

How to nominate an Appointment of Representative OR Power of Attorney

You'll find forms for both Appointment of Representative and Power of Attorney by going to 'Help and support' > 'Documents and forms' > 'General'
