Information for joint applicants

By completing this online joint account application all account holders agree that each account holder may operate the account with direct access to the funds in the account.

When you apply for a joint account online, each account holder will have direct access to the funds in the account, through digital channels like NAB Internet Banking and the NAB app, with a debit card or in a branch. This means each account holder can access the account individually to withdraw or deposit money separately from the other account holder.

If you want both account holders to jointly operate the account – meaning that both need to give permission for deposits and withdrawals – you’ll need to come into a branch to arrange this. Don’t apply online.

If your situation changes and you want to change how both people access the money, please visit a branch. Refer to important information for operating a joint account to help you make the best choice for your circumstances.

Security We need to verify your identity

In this application, we need to successfully, electronically verify your identity to open your new account. You’ll need to provide at least one of the following forms of ID, but it’s best to have two ready in case we need more information. 

  • Australian passport

  • Foreign passport

  • Australian driver’s licence

  • Medicare card (can only be used in conjunction with another form of ID if you’re 18 years or older)

  • Birth certificate (for applicants aged 18 or under)

If you're Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and you don't have any of the required forms of identification, please call our Indigenous Customer Service line on 1800 966 100 Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 7:00pm (AEST/AEDT) or visit your nearest NAB branch

Applying with a birth certificate if you’re under 18

If you’re under the age of 18, you’ll need two forms of ID to apply online – one of which can be your birth certificate.

First, you’ll be prompted to select one valid ID from a list of acceptable options, including an Australian or foreign passport, Australian driver’s license or Medicare card.

Once uploaded, we’ll take you to a new page, which will allow you to select the birth certificate option from a provided list of IDs.
