Personalise NetBank
What does the 'personalise NetBank' page under the 'my info' tab do?

It enables you to change some of your account preferences. You can:

  • Group your accounts into logical categories, such as deposit accounts, asset accounts or liability accounts
  • View the NetBank service charges
  • You can give accounts nicknames to help you remember them, rather than numbers e.g. 'Holiday Account'
  • You can conceal account numbers if you use NetBank in a public place
  • You can nominate accounts from which you want fees to be deducted, so all fees are drawn from one account rather than across all accounts
  • You can choose which accounts you wish to display in NetBank via the 'Display in NetBank' check box
  • You can nominate the default accounts for transfers and BPAY.
