We're updating our Account And Access Facility Conditions Of Use today, 1 November 2022, introducing amendments for PayTo and enhancements for the newly amended Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice (COBCOP) that was introduced on 31 October 2022.
For your convenience, we have listed the most notable changes to the Account And Access Facility Conditions Of Use:
Joint Accounts
Irrespective of the joint account operating instructions, any one joint holder can instruct us to:
- change the account operation to joint operation by all joint holders only; or
- suspend the account to allow the joint holders time to reach agreement about dispersal of the account funds, in which case these instructions will remain in effect until all joint holders agree otherwise
All joint account holders will need to provide instructions to:
- Close the account
- Appoint a third-party signatory to the account
