The Current Account Agreement serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between Australian financial institutions and their customers for day-to-day banking services. This agreement is essential when establishing a new banking relationship or updating terms for existing accounts to ensure compliance with current Australian banking regulations and industry standards. It encompasses comprehensive terms covering account operation, digital banking services, security measures, and customer obligations, while incorporating requirements from the Banking Code of Practice and relevant Australian legislation. The agreement is designed to protect both the financial institution's interests and customer rights, providing clarity on service delivery, fees, and dispute resolution processes. It is regularly updated to reflect changes in banking practices, technological advancements, and regulatory requirements in the Australian financial services sector.
