​

​

The kinds of personal information we may collect includes:

information about you, such as your:

​

Why we collect information

​

We collect personal information about you where it is reasonably necessary, or directly related to one or more of our functions or services. We collect information to enable;

We may collect your personal information when it is reasonably necessary for delivering services.  For example, we may collect your personal information to:

The purpose of collecting your personal information is solely to aid the services we provide and also for Customer Identification Program. Australian law requires financial service agents to assist in the fight against money laundering activities and the funding of terrorism by obtaining, verifying, and recording identifying information about all customers. It is therefore mandatory for you to supply us with personal identifying information relating to you and the recipient. Please note that we may also legally consult other sources to obtain information about you and the recipient.

​

We will verify your residential address and personal details in order to confirm your identity.
