Wholesale Investors
NAB Corporate Cheque Account is only available to Wholesale Investors
Part A terms and conditions
The NAB Corporate Cheque Account is an at-call transaction deposit account that is designed for Corporate and Institutional customers and only available to Wholesale Investors.
1. How will your account work?
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 NAB will provide a cheque book to access the account unless you advise NAB that a cheque book is not required. From 3 March 2023 NAB will only provide replacement cheque books to customers already using cheque books. New cheque book access will not be provided after 3 March 2023.
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, having regard to its legitimate business interests and its prudential and regulatory obligations allow you to overdraw the account:
(a) if you do not have an approved overdraft limit, to any amount permitted by NAB acting reasonably from time to time; or
(b) if you do have an approved overdraft limit, to any amount permitted by NAB acting reasonably from time to time, beyond the amount of that limit.
1.6 If clause 1.5(a) applies, you may be charged overdrawn debit interest. If clause 1.5(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. You should monitor your account balance regularly to ensure that you do not exceed your overdraft limit.
2. What interest will you receive/pay?
2.1 The interest rate applicable to the account will either be:
(a) a single rate applicable to the whole of the credit balance; or
(b) a separate rate applicable to each tier of the credit balance. For example:
Tier 1: up to $500,000 = base rate + margin 1
Tier 2: $500,000 to $1,000,000 = base rate + margin 2
Tier 3: over $1,000,000 = base rate + margin 3
Different rates will apply to different levels of account balance. Those rates will also fluctuate. The level of account balance and the rates applicable on them are as notified to you at the time you open your account as disclosed in the 'NAB Corporate Cheque Account – Fees and Charges Flyer'. They are also available from NAB at any time.
2.2 The interest rate(s) applicable to your account are a combination of both:
(a) a base rate and
(b) a margin.
2.3 The interest rate(s) applicable to the account, including the margin, are quoted by your NAB Banker upon application, and accepted by you at that time. The rate(s) are confirmed to you at the time the account is opened.
2.4 The base rate is a variable interest rate and is subject to change. The base rate is as disclosed in the ‘NAB Corporate Cheque Account – Fees and Charges Flyer’.
2.5 Your margin is subject to change at NAB’s reasonable discretion under clause 18 of these terms and conditions. NAB will notify you of a change to this margin in accordance with the terms and conditions.
2.6 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. Interest will be credited to the account the next banking day. The interest rate applies to the whole of the credit balance that exceeds the credit interest threshold (if applicable). When more than one rate applies to your account, the applicable rate applies to the applicable tier of your account balance.
2.7 If the account is overdrawn without an approved overdraft limit, you must put the account in credit promptly (but in any event within 3 Banking Days) and 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 detailed in the Fee Advice and available at nab.com.au. You will be notified of any change to the overdrawn debit interest rate in accordance with clause 18.2. It is also available from NAB from time to 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.
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.
How we determine your end of day balance for non-banking days
2.8 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.
3. When will I receive statements?
3.1 NAB will send you statements of the account at least 6 monthly, unless you request otherwise.
4. What bank fees are applicable to this account?
4.1 NAB may debit the account with account fees and other standard service fees, the amount and nature of which are detailed in the Fee Advice available from your NAB Banker at any time.
5. What electronic access options are available?
5.1 You may arrange for the account to be linked to your NAB Debit Card, NAB Low Rate Business Card*, or NAB Business Visa Debit Card.
5.2 You may arrange to access the account through NAB Connect, Direct Link, Telephone or Internet Banking or similar service provided by NAB, such access will be governed by NAB standard terms and conditions relating to the service. If you do not have these please contact your NAB Banker for a copy.
6. Payment Facilities
Cheques
If NAB provides you with cheque access to your account, the terms and conditions in clauses 6.1 – 6.8 apply to your use of cheques.
6.1 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, acting in good faith, 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. You must monitor your accounts to ensure that you have sufficient funds to meet your payment arrangements. NAB will notify you if a debit is dishonored or otherwise not made.
(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, acting in good faith, dishonour payment of the cheque on your behalf.
6.2 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 are a user of NAB Connect you can submit a request to stop payment on a cheque through NAB Connect.
(c) If you advise NAB by phone, your written confirmation may be required.
(d) 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.
(e) 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.
6.3 Dishonoring cheques
(a) Your cheque may 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.
6.4 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.
6.5 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.
6.6 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.
6.7 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.
6.8 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.
6.9 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.
6.10 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, acting in good faith, 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.
6.11 Bank cheques
(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) Bank cheques can be purchased by NAB and non-NAB customers and a fee is charged. A bank may dishonour a bank cheque if:
(i) the bank cheque is forged or counterfeit;
(ii) the bank cheque has been fraudulently and materially altered;
(iii) a fraud or other crime has been committed;
(iv) the bank is told the bank cheque has been lost or stolen;
(v) there is a court order restraining the bank from paying a bank cheque;
(vi) the bank has not received payment or value for the issue of the bank cheque; or
(vii) 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.
7. Direct Debits
You may make regular payments to a third party (‘Debit User’), by authorising the Debit User to debit your account with NAB.
7.1 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.
7.2 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.
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.
7.3 Cancellation of direct debit authority
(a) You may cancel your direct debit arrangements with a Debit User by calling NAB on 13 10 12, completing the direct debit cancellation request online via nab.com.au 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.
7.4 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. You may be charged overdrawn debit interest in accordance with clause 2.7.
b) You must monitor your accounts to ensure that you have sufficient funds to meet your direct debit arrangements. NAB will notify you if a debit is dishonored or otherwise not made.
7.5 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.
PayID®, Osko and New Payments Platform
8. About PayID
8.1 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.
8.2 You can create a PayID (e.g. 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’).
8.3 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 PayID 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.
8.4 Where your account is held in joint names, each account holder can link a PayID to the account.
8.5 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.
9. Your PayID
9.1 Creating your PayID
(a) You can create a PayID for your 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.
(c) We can refuse your request to create a PayID where:
(i) we have not yet completed verifying your identity;
(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 to the right to use the PayID. If that person cannot establish that they are the rightful owner of the PayID, their financial institution is required to close that PayID.
9.2 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.
9.3 Privacy and disclosure
(a) By creating your PayID you acknowledge that you consent to our recording of your PayID, PayID 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.
9.4 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 eligible 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.
9.5 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.
9.6 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.
(c) You will not be able to transfer your PayID or receive payments addressed to your PayID while your PayID is locked.
9.7 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.
(c) we will close your PayID if the Linked Account for that PayID is closed.
9.8 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.
10. Making Payments to a PayID
10.1 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.
10.2 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.
10.3 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.
11. Osko
11.1 About Osko
(a) We subscribe to Osko under the BPAY Scheme.
(b) You can receive Osko Payments to your account. 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.
11.2 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 but is capable of accepting other types of NPP 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.
11.3 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.
11.4 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 your consent, 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.
11.5 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.
11.6 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.
(b) Accordingly, you agree to our disclosing to BPAY, its service providers and such other participants involved in Osko such Personal Information relating to you as is necessary to facilitate the provision of Osko to you.
12. You must check your statements
12.1 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.
13. Indemnity
13.1 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 NAB 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 except to the extent such loss arises from NAB’s fraud, negligence or misconduct (or the fraud, negligence or misconduct of NAB’s officers, employees, contractors and agents). NAB will debit your account for the relevant amount.
14. Account Closure
You or any other authorised person can request to close your account by 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, acting fairly and reasonably in accordance with clause 17, exercise its discretion to close an account due to unsatisfactory conduct or any other reason it deems appropriate. In this event, NAB will provide you notice in writing (and will provide a general reason where appropriate to do so).
Part B – General matters
15. General Matters
15.1 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.
15.2 NAB’s right to combine or set-off accounts
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 or has a right to do so under law which cannot be excluded (for example because of a court order).
15.3 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. However, if the Banking Code of Practice applies (see clause 16 below) or this is a Small Business Contract, we will not exercise these rights unless either we give you notice, we have your prior agreement or you are in default in respect or your obligations to NAB in respect of any account that you have with us. Otherwise, we will notify you after exercising these rights.
15.4 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.
15.5 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.
15.6 Wholesale Investors
NAB Corporate Cheque Account is only available to Wholesale Investors. You will need to provide evidence satisfactory to NAB confirming your status as a Wholesale Investor prior to establishing an account.
16. Banking Code of Practice
16.1 NAB has adopted the Banking Code of Practice and relevant provisions of the Code apply to this account, if you are an individual or a small business referred to in the Code.
16.2 You can obtain from NAB upon request:
(a) information on NAB current interest rates and standard fees and charges relating to this account if any;
(b) general descriptive information concerning NAB banking services including
(i) for accounts with cheque access, general descriptive information about cheques
(ii) account opening procedures;
(iii) NAB’s obligations regarding the confidentiality of your information;
(iv) complaint handling procedures;
(v) bank cheques;
(vi) the advisability of you informing NAB promptly when you are in financial difficulty;
(vii) the advisability of you reading the terms and conditions applying to each banking service NAB provides to you;
(c) general descriptive information about:
(i) the identification requirements of the Financial Transactions Report Act 1988 or the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, as applicable;
(ii) the options available to you under the tax file number legislation; and
(d) a copy of the Banking Code of Practice.
17. Discretions
17.1 Where these terms and conditions confer a discretion on NAB, NAB will exercise that discretion fairly and reasonably and in accordance with its legitimate business interests and prudential and regulatory obligations. That includes whenever NAB is changing a term of this Agreement or our fees and charges, exercising enforcement or set-off rights or incurring expenses that are payable by you.
17.2 We can take a range of things into account when exercising our rights and discretions under these terms. These can include:
(a) our legal obligations, industry codes and payment scheme rules and the expectations of our regulators;
(b) protecting our customers, staff and systems and the personal information we hold;
(c) what you have told us about yourself and how you will use our products and services (including if it’s misleading, incorrect or you haven’t provided us with all of the information we reasonably need when asked);
(d) how our products and services are intended to be used (and how you have used them);
(e) our public statements, including those relating to protecting vulnerable persons, the environment or sustainability;
(f) community expectations and any impact on our reputation;
(g) whether we need to take any action to protect you or another person from a potential fraud or scam; and
(h) risk management, including sanctions risk management.
18. Variation and notice provisions
18.1 Changes NAB may make
(a) In addition to the other changes NAB may make to these terms and conditions, NAB may change any other terms and conditions (including by imposing new fees or charges, or changing the amount, type, or method of calculation of fees and charges payable). NAB will make any changes in accordance with any applicable legislation and industry codes. If you do not accept any change we make, you can ask NAB to close your account. 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. NAB will notify you at your last known address at least 30 days before any such variation takes effect.
18.2 Notice Provisions
NAB will give you notice of changes to the account as set out in the table below and you agree to receive notice in such ways. If we believe a change is unfavourable to you, we usually give the notice specified under ‘Time Frame’ below, but can give less notice, or no notice, if this is in accordance with law and industry codes. For example, this may happen if it is reasonable for us to give shorter notice, to manage an immediate and material risk.

(a) give instructions in relation to cheques, withdrawals, periodical payment/debit authorities and, where nominated by the accountholder, electronic NAB services;

20.2 In respect of any authority provided to NAB under clause 20.1, NAB may elect not to follow any instructions given under the authority if:
(a) it is not satisfied that the person giving the instruction has authority (for example, if NAB is not satisfied that the signature on the instruction matches the specimen signature held);
(b) in its opinion, the instructions are not clear;
(c) NAB cannot authenticate or validate any information or documents relating to the account or service, a person who is authorised to transact on it, or the transaction; or
(d) NAB is notified of a dispute between joint accountholders (in which case NAB may require all joint account holders or directors to sign any authority to operate this account).
20.3 In respect of any authority provided to NAB under clause 20.1, NAB may, by giving notice, override the authority and require that all or specific future transactions must be authorised by all accountholders.
21. What goods and services tax and other taxes and charges apply?

22.1 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 of you has the right to all of the balance of the account, jointly with the other account holders.
22.2 If any of you die, the account will be treated as the account of the survivor or survivors jointly.
22.3 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 on the account.

23. Can NAB choose not to apply a fee or charge?
23.1 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.

24.1 For information about resolving problems or disputes, contact NAB on 1800 152 015, or visit any NAB outlet.

25. Delaying, freezing, suspending, blocking or refusing transactions or services
25.1 You agree that acting fairly and reasonably in accordance with clause 17, NAB may delay, block, freeze or suspend or refuse to make or receive or credit any payments or access to your account using the services detailed in this booklet where reasonably necessary to:
(a) prevent an anticipated breach of any relevant law of Australia or another country (including any sanctions);
(b) manage a risk;
(c) protect you or NAB or any other person from potentially fraudulent activity or a scam, or anticipated material losses to you or us arising from the misuse or unauthorised use of an account or NAB’s services (but it may not be possible for us to detect and prevent all such transactions); or
(d) avoid risk of a fine being imposed on, or any other regulatory action being taken against, NAB, any of NAB’s subsidiaries, any body corporate that is directly or indirectly related to us, or any entity with whom we have entered into arrangements in connection with any services or your accounts.

NAB may not give you advance notice (for example if it is reasonably necessary for NAB to act quickly to manage a risk). If NAB does not give you advance notice, and where it is reasonable to do so, we will advise you within a reasonable time of exercising our discretion under this clause (and where appropriate, we will give you a general reason for doing so).
25.3 If NAB exercises it rights under this clause fairly and reasonably NAB will incur no liability to you if NAB does so.
25.4 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.
26. Governing Law
The terms and conditions in this booklet and the transactions contemplated by these terms and conditions are governed by the law in force in Victoria and each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.
If the laws of the State or Territory where you are a resident (or if you are not an individual, where your business is located) includes mandatory protections that are available to you at the time you entered into this agreement with NAB (including because you are a small business or an individual), then this clause does not operate to exclude those protections.
Part C – NAB Business Visa Debit Card terms and conditions
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.
27. When do these NAB Business Visa Debit card terms and conditions apply?
27.1 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.
28. Business Visa Debit card or card details.

28.3 NAB may at any time issue a new NAB Business Visa Debit card to you for use subject to these terms and conditions.
28.4 You are responsible for each purchase and cash withdrawal made using your NAB Business Visa Debit card. This is so whether the purchase or cash withdrawal is made at your request or by the authorised use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card. There are limits on your liability for unauthorised use set out in clause 32 and 33.
28.5 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 card
28.6 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.
28.7 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.
28.8 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 Part C and where applicable, the NAB Electronic Banking terms and conditions – business accounts and NAB standard terms and conditions relating to accessing the account through NAB Connect, Telephone or Internet Banking or similar service provided by NAB. If you do not have these please contact your NAB Banker for a copy.
28.9 An authorised cardholder is able to operate your linked transaction account through the use of the NAB Business Visa Debit card. For example, the authorised cardholder may use the NAB Business Visa Debit card to:
- make purchases;
- make balance enquiries through an ATM; and
- withdraw cash from an ATM.
28.10 Subject to the terms and conditions of any electronic banking facility, if an authorized 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 authorized 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.
28.11 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.
28.12 If you make a request to cancel an authorised cardholder’s NAB Business Visa Debit card in accordance with clause 28.11, 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
28.13 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.
28.14 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, contactless payment 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.
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.
28.15 You should ensure that the transaction amount is correct before you authorise the transaction.
28.16 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 33.
28.17 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.
28.18 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.
28.19 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 endeavor to contact you in this event.
28.20 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.
29. Limits on use of your NAB Business Visa Debit card and card details
29.1 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.
29.2 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 30.1 except to the extent that the relevant transaction has already led to a reduction in the amount of available balance.
29.3 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.
29.4 A cash withdrawal cannot be made using card details or card at a contactless reader.
29.5 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.
30. Processing of transactions by NAB
30.1 Your linked transaction account will be debited with, and you agree to pay to NAB:
(a) each purchase;
(b) each cash withdrawal; and
(c) fees and charges payable under the terms and conditions in Part C.
30.2 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
(c) the above applies regardless of whether the voucher or other evidence is signed by you.
30.3 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.
31. Statements and currency conversion
31.1 NAB will give you a statement for your linked transaction account as set out in Part A.
31.2 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.)
32. Lost/stolen cards
32.1 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.
32.2 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.
32.3 Despite notifying NAB of an event described in clause 32.1, you remain liable for any cash withdrawal or purchase made by you except to the extent of liability arising from NAB’s fraud, negligence or misconduct (include employ section).
32.4 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.
32.5 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.
33. Disputed transactions
33.1 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.
33.2 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.
33.3 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.
33.4 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.
33.5 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 33.4.
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.
33.6 Electronic transactions
If the ePayments Code is applicable to a disputed transaction, the timeframes as specified in clause 33.4 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.
34. Cancellation of your card
34.1 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.
34.2 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 18, 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.
34.3 Regular payment arrangements (including direct debits)
(a) If your NAB Business Visa Debit card is cancelled under clause 34.2, 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.
34.4 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 34 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).
35. 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', opens in new window available from NAB at any time.
Any fees and charges paid by you are not refundable.
36. 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.
37. 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.
37.1 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 37.1 are for your assistance. If the ePayments Code is applicable, your liability in the case of an actual loss will be governed by the ePayments Code and clause 37 in this booklet. However, you should take care to meet the guidelines set out in clause 37.1 as a failure to meet these guidelines may in some circumstances constitute an act of extreme carelessness under clause 37(a)(iii).
37.2 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 Identification 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.
37.3 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.
37.4 Failure of NAB electronic equipment
(a) except in the case of a business EFT transaction NAB will be liable to you for losses you suffer caused by the failure of NAB electronic equipment or system to complete an EFT transaction accepted by NAB system or NAB electronic equipment in accordance with your instructions.
However, NAB will not be liable for consequential losses where you should have been aware that NAB electronic equipment or system was unavailable for use or malfunctioning. NAB responsibilities in this case will be limited to the correction of errors in your account and the refund of any charges or fees imposed on you as a result. NAB will also not be liable for any losses caused by the failure of NAB electronic equipment where NAB system or electronic equipment had not accepted the EFT transaction.
(b) NAB will not be liable to you for any loss, claim, liability or outgoing, including without limitation any consequential loss or liability, which you suffer because of any failure of NAB’s systems or NAB’s electronic equipment to complete a business EFT transaction.
Limits in EFT transactions
37.5 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.
37.6 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 business transaction account to which your NAB Business Visa Debit card is linked as your first main account. You may also nominate an additional main account being either one main business cheque or one main business savings account.
(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 business cheque or savings account to which the NAB Business Visa debit card is linked. That is, an individual EFTPOS transaction must be debited to one account, although a separate transaction may be debited to another designated ‘main account’.
37.7 ePayments Code warranty
NAB warrants that it will comply with the requirements of the ePayments Code for all EFT transactions on nominated accounts other than business EFT transactions.

Sharing with Credit Reporting bodies
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.

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.

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.
