Accounts in e-banking

Accounts is the landing screen for e-banking, allowing you to view a list of every account you have access to.

Selecting an account provides a detailed view that shows:

  • The current and available balance of the account

  • An account chart (which may be shown or hidden for each account)

  • Payment options that can be selected to create a payment from the account

You can also swap between the tabs:

  • Activity

    To view, filter, print, or download transactions

  • Upcoming

    To view future payments

  • Details – to view the BSB and account number, signatories, and more depending on the type of account/p>

  • Statements

    To download PDF copies of your past statements or a proof of account

Charts

Charts are a visual way to view information about your accounts.

Please note, charts show the current balance of the account, not the available balance. This means any transactions not yet processed to the account or funds on hold are not displayed.

Chart types

There are three types of charts:

1. Line graphs

Used for transaction accounts and home loans. Each point on the graph represents your account balance after a transaction. This allows you to see the impact of recent deposits and withdrawals on your account balance. Up to 20 transactions can be displayed

2. Speedos

Used for credit card accounts. The needle represents how much of your approved limit has been spent

Understand your balances

e-banking displays the available balance and current balance of your accounts.

For deposit accounts, like transaction and savings accounts:

  • The current balance is the dollar amount in an account at any given time
  • The available balance is the current balance minus any pending transactions

For loan accounts, like home loans and credit cards:

  • The current balance is the dollar amount in an account at any given time
  • The available balance is the difference between the credit limit of the account and the current balance, including any pending transactions
  • For loan accounts with online redraw activated, the available balance reflects the amount you can redraw from the account

Online redraw

Online redraw is available for many of our home, personal and business loans. It must be activated on an account before you can view the available redraw amount and complete redraws in e-banking.

To check if your loan is eligible and apply to have online redraw activated, please visit your local branch or contact your relationship manager.

Transactions

Account transactions are displayed in the Activity tab on the Accounts screen.

Transactions are listed newest to oldest, with each transaction in the list showing:

  • The name of the transaction

  • The description and/or reference

  • The transaction amount

  • The running balance of the account, also called the balance after transaction

Each transaction can be selected to view a details screen. The extra details available are based on the type of transaction.

You may notice the transaction logo for some merchants is generic. While we try to source logos for as many merchants as possible, we are not able to support logos for every merchant due to the vast number.

For devices with larger screens, Normal and Compact buttons will be displayed at the top right corner of the Activity tab. These allow the transaction list to be switched between a normal and compact view.

Searching transactions

You can search for transactions in three ways.

If you know the account the transaction was made from:

  1. Select the account on the Accounts screen
  2. Select Filter at the top right corner of the Activity tab

  2. Select a contact
  3. Payments to the selected contact are displayed in the Activity tab

To view transactions that are not available for download, you can access your statements online in e-banking.

Pending transactions

When you use your card to buy something online, over the phone, with Tap & goTM, or when selecting the credit option at the point of sale, the amount you have spent is not withdrawn from your account straight away.

Instead, the amount is placed on hold and referred to as a pending transaction. A transaction can be pending for around five days to give time for the seller, known as a merchant, to finish processing it. Once they have, the amount is debited from your account and the pending transaction status is removed.

If a merchant fails to process a transaction within five days, the pending transaction status is removed. Merchants can still process the transaction after this time, and you are still liable, so make sure you have enough money in your account to cover it.

Stay safe and do the right thing

When you bank with us, we want you to stay safe and feel secure. So if you receive an offer to open a bank account to transfer money or goods for someone you don’t know, chances are high it’s a scam. Criminals are trying to use you as a money mule to transfer and disguise their proceeds of crime.

Participating in these scams and transferring this money could lead to a police investigation and criminal charges against you for your part in a criminal enterprise. This activity is also unacceptable to banks and may result in the withdrawal of your banking facilities.
