Bank Account Details | |
When starting up a new
bank account in Austalia, all banks will require one hundred points worth of Identification.
This means that certain ID is worth a certain amount of points, for example
photo ID is worth more than documentation ID.
Immigrants come under a special 6 week Special Provisions Act. They are awarded an automatic 100 points with their passport which will allow them to open a bank account immediately. After the 6 week period has expired they will need to prove their 100 points. · Passport = 80 points · Overseas Bank Statement = 25 points · Employer Reference = 25 points
