We use third party verification services and credit reporting bodies to check the information you’ve provided.
By proceeding with this application you consent to Great Southern Bank:
- Providing your name, date of birth, address and details of your ID documents to third party verification services such as GreenID, Equifax and the government’s Document Verification Service. These services may, in turn, share your information with the issuer or official record holder of your ID documents via third party systems to help them to make a match.
- Providing your name, date of birth and address to credit reporting bodies such as Illion, Equifax or Experian. We may either do this directly or via one of the services mentioned above (please note that this isn’t a credit check and doesn’t in any way affect your credit history).
- Accessing information (including payroll and superannuation information) held by third parties as your intermediary and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and our Privacy Policy for the purpose of identity verification and fraud prevention.
These third parties will assess whether the information you provided matches the information held or accessible by them and will provide us with their assessment. This level of due diligence is required by the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Act 2006.
If you don’t consent to having your identity verified electronically, we will need to verify your ID manually another way.
