How do I open a Life Saver account for my child?

How do I open a Life Saver account for my child?

Any parent, guardian or adult (18+) – whether that’s a grandparent, relative or family friend – can open a Life Saver on behalf of a child. Right now, this process can only be completed in your nearest branch.

If you intend to act as a benefactor on the account for the child, we’ll need you to bring along ID for both you and the child. We will need you to bring physical copies as we are not currently able to accept digital versions of your identification.

If you don’t intend to act as a benefactor, you will just need to provide your child’s ID. Your child will also need to be with you as they will need to be able to understand and accept the Terms and Conditions and be able to sign for themselves.

If you don’t have a drivers licence or the child is unable to locate their birth certificate, we still may be able to help. Check out our FAQs for more identification options.

If you’re still unsure or would like further clarification before opening an account on behalf of a child, you can give us a call on 13 13 86.

Account terms, conditions, fees and charges apply.
