An eStatement is an online statement available to view via Internet Banking or Mobile Banking. eStatements are free of charge and can be printed or saved for your records.

Quick, convenient and environmentally friendly, eStatements are an electronic version of your account statements.

When you switch your account to eStatements we will no longer send you a paper statement. Instead, you’ll receive an email alert each time a new eStatement is available online. Simply log on to Internet Banking or Mobile Banking to view, save or print a copy of your eStatement.

Choosing eStatements also means you’ll receive messages with important information about your account in your Internet Banking or Mobile Banking Message Centre. You’ll receive an email alert when a new message is delivered.

The Credit Card Dispute feature within Internet Banking allows you to lodge a dispute for a contentious Credit Card transaction.

The credit card dispute must be within 30 days of the recorded date (statement) of the transaction.

The daily limit can be changed for most credit and debit cards except for Corporate and Business Vantage Credit Cards, Freedom Cards, Corporate Debit cards, Heritage Debit cards and corporate accounts.

The maximum daily limit is $2000.

Your statement cycle refers to how often and on what date your statements are sent out.

You can determine your statement cycle by reviewing a previously received statement. The Statement Period will be displayed on each statement in the following format:

Statement Period 01/03/2006 to 30/04/2006

This example means that your statement cycle is monthly and issued on the last day of each month. Please be aware that different accounts can have different statement cycles.

A fee is charged for each individual statement ordered within a specific date range.

Statement orders for transaction/savings accounts will incur a fee of $4 per statements.

Statement orders for credit cards will incur a fee of $4.50 per statement.

Statement orders for loan accounts will incur a fee of $10 per statement

Please note: if your requested date range includes dates across more than one statement period, the total fee will be the cost of that number of statements. For example, if you receive a monthly statement on the 2nd of each month and you request a statement covering the date range of 1 Jan 2006 - 1 Feb 2006, you will cross two statement cycles: 2 Dec - 1 Jan AND 2 Jan - 1 Feb. If you would like to order only one statement, please check a recently received statement to ensure you request a date range within one statement cycle.

directsaver statements are issued quarterly. If you have not held your account for at least 3 months you may not be able to order a statement online. Alternatively you can print a record of recent transactions on your Maxi Saver account within Internet Banking.

Should you require a bank-issued statement for your directsaver account before your next quarterly statement is expected, please call 13 22 66, 24 hours, 7 days.
