For non-individuals (such as SMSF’s, Trusts, and Companies) we have obligations to identify the beneficial
owners or members of a trust or company. If your trust (SMSF, Family, etc) has a corporate trustee and is more
than 1 year old, you or your accountant will have a copy of the annual Company Statement. That one document
gives us everything we need. If it is less than one year old or you can’t find this, you need to provide some other
form of independent evidence of the company name and who the beneficial owners or members (directors/
shareholders) of the company are. This may be the part of the documentation provided to you when you
established the company or the trust and trustee company. If you are unsure or cannot find this, ask your
accountant to provide it or you can visit the ASIC website and for around $9 you can get a Current
Company Extract (sometimes called Current Company Information) emailed to you.
You will need to provide copies as relevant below:
-
Copy of Business/Company Statement or Current Company Extract (or other official document showing
company name and members)
-
For Trusts and SMSF’s: the title page and execution page (only of the Trust Deed)
NOTE: Each director, trustee, shareholder/member or authorised representative must verify their ID through our
Online ID Verification portal or by ringing us on 1800 819 474.
