Open An Australian Bank Account With National Australia Bank
Otherwise known as NAB, National Australia Bank is Australia’s number one bank that can set you up with an Australian bank account in less than 10 minutes.
Thanks to their online service, you can apply for an Australian bank account before you even arrive in the country – up to 12 months prior. It’s quick, easy and convenient, especially for when you’re moving your entire life halfway around the world. How so? Because the dedicated team of specialists in migrant banking provide a personalised service for migrants, expats and students in opening a bank account.
The NAB Classic Banking account allows you to input funds directly from the UK. With no application fees, no overdrawn fees, no minimum deposits and no monthly account service fees, your money remains your money. You can combine your account with a NAB iSaver to help you save. Again, there are no transaction or monthly account service fees, no minimum balance requirements and you can take out as much money without it affecting your interest rate, which is calculated daily and paid in monthly.
Just fill out a simple application form and you’ll get the help of a personal banker to help you during the process. This will give you the ability to transfer funds to your Australian bank account before you arrive. Then, when you arrive in Australia, all you need to do is show your passport at any NAB branch within six weeks of arriving in Australia. By banking with NAB, you get access to nationwide branches and over 3,400 ATMs, so local banking is easy once you’re settled.
Not only can you apply to open your NAB bank account online, you can continue Internet banking through the use of the NAB mobile app, free to download on iPhone, iPad and Android, so you can manage your money while on the move.
