Corporate eStatements Portal FAQs
Corporate eStatement Portal FAQs
We’re working to create a better statement experience for our business customers. Our Corporate eStatements Portal enables eligible business and merchant eStatements to be accessed securely and conveniently. Please see the FAQs below for more information regarding the Corporate eStatements Portal.
The Corporate eStatements Portal is a secure online portal that hosts the digital version of statements for eligible business accounts and merchant facilities, referred to as eStatements. Key benefits include:
- eStatements are exactly the same as regular paper statements, just in a digital format.
- eStatements are securely accessible anytime from the Corporate eStatements Portal. New eStatements are issued from when an account is added to the Portal, and are archived for 7 years from the statement period end date.
- eStatements are more convenient to search and review and can be downloaded in PDF file format.
Important things you should know about the Corporate eStatements Portal
- eStatements are available on eligible merchant facilities and business accounts only.
- eStatements are accessed in the Corporate eStatements Portal and remain subject to system availability.
- Migration to eStatements is based on consent provided by the account holder, authorised signatory or merchant owner of the Legal Entity with authority to operate on the eligible business accounts or merchant facilities, who also provided authority for the eStatement notifications and supporting communications to be directed to the Administrator.
- eStatements are only available for eligible business accounts or merchant facilities. For any ineligible accounts, you will continue to be sent the paper statements via mail and should ensure you keep your mailing address up to date.
- The eStatements are accessible for 7 years from the date that an account is added into the Portal and when the first eStatement notification was sent for each account.
- Please ensure your email address and mobile number is kept up to date in Business Banking Online (BBO) and check your notifications.
- Statements are an important part of your banking and finances in general. Please be advised that:
- Statements may include important information and notices about your accounts, so please review them carefully.
- It’s your obligation to check the accuracy of all entries on the statements or account.
- You must notify us within a reasonable time of any apparent or possible error such as an incorrect fee or amount debited from your account, or a payment that should have been made to you.
- We have a legal obligation to provide a statement of account, in the event that eStatement digital notifications fail to be delivered by email to the Administrator (i.e we receive an email bounce back) we will revert to a paper statement for that particular account statement cycle. You will remain enrolled in eStatements.
- Registration to the Corporate eStatements Portal is provided to a single Administrator. The statements of accounts that will be available within the Corporate eStatements Portal are all eligible business accounts and merchant facilities that are owned by the business.
- If the Administrator is removed from BBO, their access will also be revoked from the Corporate eStatements Portal and all the accounts in the Portal will revert the business to paper statements.
- There is no ability to change the access level or limit the account statements that can be reviewed within the Corporate eStatements Portal. This means that only those registered with access to the Portal will have access to review and download account statements for all eligible business accounts and merchant facilities.
- If arrangements are in place with the bank for a third party who is not the BBO Administrator to receive duplicate paper statements (for example, an accountant), the third party will no longer receive these statements after an account is added to the Portal. After moving to eStatements, it will be the responsibility of the Administrator to download the statements and securely distribute to the third party where appropriate.
