Corporate Bank Account Requirements in Australia

In Australia, most banks will require:

• Certified copies of your company registration documents (Certificate of Incorporation, Constitution, ASIC extract).
• Identification and proof of address of all directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners.
• Details of business activities, source of funds, and expected transaction volume.
• In some cases, a business plan or contracts with Australian clients may be requested.

If your company directors or shareholders are based overseas, most banks will require them to complete a face-to-face verification process at a local branch or approved verification center.

Types of Bank Accounts Available

• Business Transaction Accounts – for day-to-day operations, payments, and receipts.
• Business Savings Accounts – to earn interest on company funds.
• Foreign Currency Accounts – for companies dealing with international clients and suppliers.
• Merchant Accounts – for businesses that require payment gateway and card processing facilities.
