What forms of ID are acceptable to open a Greater Bank account?

At Greater Bank, we're required by law to fully verify your identity before opening an account in your name, and unless this process is completed, we may be prohibited from providing you with the services you're after.

We may also be required to periodically collect additional ID verification from you from time to time.

To verify your identity, and that you are who you are, we'll need one or a combination of the following documents which show your full name, not initials.

If the document has an expiry date, it must be current. (It's important to note that an Australian Passport can be expired but not cancelled within the preceding two years).

Where the documents marked with * only contain a middle initial, another document from category 1 OR category 2 OR category 3 showing FULL NAME (NOT INITIALS) will also be required.
