Core Banking Agreement

What is the Core Banking Agreement

The Core Banking Agreement (The Agreement) is the collective name for the documents that form your contractual agreement with us for the products and services covered by The Agreement. It includes your terms and conditions and supporting documents, such as application forms and mandates.

Your Terms and Conditions

To make your Terms and Conditions easier to use and understand we have rewritten them, reducing duplication and simplifying language wherever possible. To help us achieve this we have restructured them into three separate documents:

  1. Relationship Terms & Conditions (PDF, 5.0MB)
  2. General Information on Payments, Charges & Contacts (PDF, 4.5MB)

These documents apply to all products and services under the Core Banking Agreement

  1. Product & Services Terms & Conditions

This document is specific to a product or service.

Please see the following for more details:
