• Each signatory needs to sign next to their name 
• Your organisation’s representatives need to sign the declaration section (section 8)
• We're unable to accept DocuSign, digital, electronic or cropped signatures so you'll need to get the form signed in full with a pen. 

We’ll need to verify identification documents at a branch if the signatories are:

• New to the bank
• An existing customer who hasn’t presented physical identification in the last 12 months

Here's some info about the documents you may need.
