- Live in Australia with a current residential address
- Be applying as an individual (not a business or association)
- Have two forms of ID from the following:

We also recommend having your tax file number (TFN) ready. If you earn more interest than the limit set by the ATO and you haven’t provided us with your TFN, withholding tax may be deducted from the interest you earn.
If you don’t meet the eligibility requirements to open an account online, you can still open an account at one of our branches.
