What information do we need from you?

As a bank, we have a number of regulatory requirements to verify information on the people and organisations we give money to. This helps prevent things such as money laundering and terrorism finance. This means that we need to collect enough information on your organisation to verify its identity and the identity of its controlling persons. This information differs depending on whether your organisation is an existing Greater Bank customer or not. Don’t worry – you will only need to supply this information once, and if you meet our eligibility criteria, you’ll be included in the community funding program.

Organisation name

Identifying number (e.g. ABN, ACN, Incorporated Identification Number)

Full name of each controlling person(s) of the organisation (for an association this would be president, secretary and treasurer, or equivalents; for a company this would be each director)
