13 Part 1. Your USaver Ultra Account 1 How your USaver Ultra works a. Eligibility criteria You re eligible for a USaver Ultra, if you (or for a joint USaver, both of you): Are a personal customer (not a business or trust); Are 18 years old or over; Have an Australian residential and postal address; Are an Australian resident for taxation purposes; Have an address and Australian mobile phone number (for joint accounts each applicant must have a different address); and Other eligibility criteria may apply to open a USaver UItra including a minimum balance requirement in an existing UBank account, please refer to ubank.com.au for full details. USaver Ultra cannot be opened in a company or business name (including sole traders) or in a trust capacity (including DIY Superannuation). You can only hold two USaver Ultras at any one time (one in a single name and one in joint names). b. You must have a linked USaver USaver Ultra is a Transaction Account (with Visa Debit card access) that is designed to work together with an existing USaver. As a result: to open a USaver Ultra you must already have a USaver; your nominated USaver will automatically be linked to your USaver Ultra (only one USaver can be linked to your USaver Ultra at any given time); and UBank may close your USaver Ultra if for any reason you no longer have a USaver linked to it. Please note that if your USaver Ultra is in joint names, you can only link a USaver that is held in the same joint names. If your USaver Ultra is in a single name, you can only link a USaver that is held in the same name. 11
14 c. What is Sweep? Sweep is an automatic funds transfer. How Sweep works is described below. Helping you balance your daily savings and spending needs Sweep allows you to nominate, within the parameters set out on our website and in our FAQs: the Ultra Sweep To amount, which is the maximum amount of cash you want in your USaver Ultra at the start of each day; and the Ultra Sweep From amount, which is minimum amount of cash you want in your USaver Ultra at the start of each day. If the balance in your USaver Ultra is more than the Ultra Sweep To amount, the excess funds will automatically be swept to your USaver. If the balance in your USaver Ultra is less than the Ultra Sweep From amount, assuming there are sufficient cleared funds in your USaver, the amount required to bring your USaver Ultra balance back up to the Ultra Sweep To amount will automatically be swept from your USaver to your USaver Ultra. If there are insufficient cleared funds in your USaver, no sweep will occur. You take responsibility to set the Ultra Sweep To amount, and the Ultra Sweep From amount, to your own personal requirements after your account is opened. These amounts are configurable at anytime you wish to amend them by logging in to ubank.com.au. Helping you make purchases If your USaver Ultra would not otherwise have the funds required to complete one of the following transactions: making a purchase at a store other than an online store in Australia (assuming you don t select credit ); the withdrawal of cash from an ATM in Australia, or requesting Cash Out in store in Australia; making a BPAY Payment, or a Funds Transfer To another account from your USaver Ultra using UBank Online or Telephone Services; or a Direct Debit payment (assuming you provided your Ultra account number, not your Visa Debit Card number); but the required funds are available in your USaver, Sweep will automatically transfer the necessary amount from your USaver into your USaver Ultra so that the transaction can proceed. 12
15 d. Joint accounts If you open an account with another person, that s called a joint account. An account can t be opened in more than two personal names. If you have a joint account, you and your joint account-holder may operate the account independently of each other. But you re individually and jointly liable concerning the account for: Your share of any amount owing to us. The share of any amount owing to us by your joint accountholder. For example, each joint accountholder will be given their own Visa Debit card, but both joint accountholders will be liable for any amounts which UBank can charge to the relevant USaver Ultra in relation to use of either Visa Debit card. We aren t liable for any loss or damage you or anyone else suffers due to us acting on an instruction in good faith, unless of course it s proved that we were negligent. If one joint account-holder dies, we treat the balance of the account as belonging to the living account-holder. This is what s known as the right of survivorship. If we re notified of a dispute between joint account-holders, we may place a block on your account. This means that you will be unable to transact on your account including (but not restricted to): Depositing funds to your account; Withdrawing funds from your account; and Requesting any other changes to the account e.g. changing your address. We may require both of you to authorise any operation of the account and/or remove the block. UBank may, at its discretion, make exceptions to these rules from time to time. 13
16 e. When will I receive statements? UBank will provide you with statements of account at least every 6 months (and we may choose to send them more frequently). These will be sent to you electronically. You should always check your statements and let us know if there are any discrepancies, errors or unauthorised transactions as soon as possible. And don t forget, you don t need to wait for your statement: you can always check your transaction history online (and we encourage you to do so). If you wish to dispute a transaction, you must tell us. Our contact details are in the Important Information section at the front of this booklet. f. Third party access UBank currently does not provide third party access to your account, for example, via your accountant or solicitor. 2 Interest, Fees and Charges a. What interest will I receive on my USaver Ultra? You will not earn interest on your USaver Ultra. b. Bonus interest criteria for USaver We may (at our discretion, from time to time) offer you a bonus variable interest rate (USaver Ultra Savings Bonus) on your linked USaver account. Note: If a USaver Ultra Savings Bonus is payable, it is payable on the linked USaver account on top of the USaver base variable rate: it is not payable on your USaver Ultra. If a USaver is eligible for the USaver Ultra Savings Bonus, that account will not be eligible for any other bonus rate that may be available from time to time. To be eligible for bonus interest on your linked USaver account in any calendar month: You must maintain a credit balance in your USaver Ultra throughout the entire previous calendar month; 14
17 A minimum amount must be deposited into your USaver Ultra and/or your linked USaver account from an external source during the previous calendar month. Please refer to ubank.com.au for current minimum amount required. (please note that deposits made at the end of a month, unless received by us for processing by the last business day of that month, will be treated as a deposit made in the following month); and The total Daily Closing Balance of all of your USaver and USaver Ultra accounts (including any USaver or USaver Ultra accounts held by you jointly with any other person) must not be more than $200,000 at any point during the previous calendar month. If your USaver Ultra is held in joint names, only one of you need meet this eligibility criteria. (Please note, if the total combined balance of your USaver and USaver Ultra accounts has exceeded $200,000, only the USaver base variable rate will be applied to the total balance of your USaver accounts.) c. What fees are there on USaver Ultra? The current account fees and other standard service fees relating to USaver Ultra are set out in the Product Fees and Charges Table at the front of this booklet. UBank may debit your USaver Ultra with any fees payable in relation to the account. UBank can also debit your USaver Ultra with any government charges, duties and taxes relating to your account. UBank may at its discretion choose to waive any fee or charge which it would otherwise be entitled to charge. 3 Making Deposits a. How can deposits be made? UBank gives you lots of ways to deposit money into your USaver Ultra, including Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), BPAY, salary credit, periodical payment from an Australian financial institution and Direct Debit. We also cannot accept any deposit to your account in a currency other than Australian dollars. If a deposit is made to your account in a foreign currency, or from an overseas account, you should remember that: 15
18 the amount will need to be converted into Australian dollars before it reaches your UBank account. The bank doing the conversion (which may be us, or another bank) will generally use its own exchange rate/s prevailing at the time of conversion. whilst we don t charge any fees for converting your deposit into Australian Dollars, other banks involved in or with the deposit might and this may reduce the amount we receive: we don t control this. if the deposit needs to be returned in whole or in part (for example, in the case of a mistaken or over payment), the amount being returned may need to be converted back into a foreign currency by us or another bank using the prevailing exchange rate/s at the time of conversion. This may mean that a different exchange rate is used in relation to the amount being returned, which may result in a shortfall to you or the sender. UBank isn t liable for any loss you feel you may have incurred as a result of converting the deposit into Australian Dollars, or back into a foreign currency, as described above, even where UBank itself does the conversion. b. Deposits we can t accept We can t accept payments in cash, cheques, traveller s cheques or international drafts. c. BPAY UBank, as a division of NAB, is a member of the BPAY Scheme. You can deposit funds into your USaver Ultra by transferring money by BPAY from any Australian bank account offering this facility. The institution you are sending money from may charge a fee and may impose transfer limitations. Please check with your institution to ensure you choose the most convenient and economical way of transferring money to UBank. Rules for funds transfer are governed by the various payment schemes and are out of the control of UBank and the institution you re sending money from. UBank may choose not to participate in the BPAY Scheme in the future. 16
19 d. Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs) You can deposit funds into your USaver Ultra by transferring money by EFT from any Australian bank account that offers this facility. We may impose transfer limits, and where the transfer is an international funds transfer, a fee may be charged by an intermediary bank. The institution the funds are sent from may also charge fees and/ or impose transfer limits. Please check with them to ensure you choose the most convenient and economical way of transferring money to UBank. Rules for funds transfer are governed by various payment schemes, and are usually out of the control of UBank and the institution you re sending money from. e. Direct Deposit You can request your banking institution or employer to directly credit funds into your USaver Ultra e.g. salary credit or periodical payment. To do this you must provide UBank s BSB number and your account number and any other deposit information required to perform the transfer. f. Direct Debit You may be able to deposit funds into your USaver Ultra from accounts held by you with other financial institutions by Direct Debit. To set up a Direct Debit, you will need to check with your other financial institution whether Direct Debits can be made from your chosen account. You will also need to complete a UBank Direct Debit Request which is available on our website at ubank.com.au. You can change or cancel a Direct Debit authority anytime by giving us at least 1 business day s notice. You can change or cancel a Direct Debit authority via UBank Online Service. UBank can set limits on the amount you can deposit each day by Direct Debit. We ll let you know about any such limit when you open your account, and will tell you if this limit changes. Note: The limits advised by UBank are not an undertaking by UBank to prevent amounts over the limit from being deposited. 17
20 g. When will funds be deposited into your account? Regardless of the method of deposit, generally if funds are received by 4pm on a business day they will be credited to your account that day. If they re received after 4pm on a business day or, received on a weekend or a designated public holiday, they ll generally be credited to your account on the next business day. Proceeds of any deposit will not be available until the deposit is cleared. This may take between 3 5 business days. 4 Making withdrawals a. How can I make a withdrawal? UBank offers a variety of methods for you to withdraw money from your USaver Ultra, including by using your linked UBank Visa Debit Card (which automatically comes with your USaver Ultra) and by Direct Debit. You can generally also arrange to access your USaver Ultra through UBank Online and UBank Telephone Services or similar electronic services provided by UBank. Such access will be governed by UBank s standard terms and conditions for the service. For more information on the electronic access options available refer to the Product Features Table at the front of this booklet. UBank does not provide cheque access to your USaver Ultra or provide bank cheques. b. How much can I withdraw? You can generally withdraw any amount up to the available credit funds from your USaver Ultra. However, you may be able to withdraw more than this if Sweep applies, or less than this if a transfer limit applies. Whether Sweep or a transfer limit applies will depend on the method of withdrawal used. (See clause 4(e) below for more information). If your USaver Ultra has insufficient funds available to satisfy any withdrawal, UBank may block your USaver Ultra from completing the withdrawal until sufficient funds are deposited and made available in your USaver Ultra. 18
21 c. When will funds be withdrawn from my account? Unless these terms and conditions say otherwise, withdrawals initiated by 4pm on a business day will generally be processed on that day and withdrawals made after 4pm on a business day will be processed on the next business day. Future dated transfers, regardless of what day they are scheduled to be made (i.e. business day or non-business day) will occur on that day and the available balance will be reduced. d. Direct Debits Setting up a Direct Debit You may make regular Direct Debits payments to a third party (debit user), by authorising the debit user to debit your USaver Ultra. The debit user will provide you with their direct debit request agreement. Only debit users approved by a financial institution can make these arrangements on your behalf. The debit user request may provide for the debiting of your USaver Ultra with any amount charged by the debit user. You may, however, be able to limit the amount or ask that the charging be delayed until after the issuing of a billing advice to you. These arrangements are between you and the debit user. Cancelling a Direct Debit You can cancel your Direct Debit arrangements with a Debit User by logging in to your account at ubank.com.au and selecting the Manage USaver Ultra tab if you have provided the Debit User with your USaver Ultra account details. We will promptly process your instruction and stop further debits to your USaver Ultra. UBank will advise the Debit User of your request to cancel the authority. We suggest you also contact the Debit User. This may be especially helpful when resolving complaints about incorrect charges. To arrange for a Direct Debit to be resumed on your USaver Ultra, you will need to contact the debit user to set up a new Direct Debit, or you can restart the Direct Debit by logging in to your account at ubank.com.au and selecting the Manage USaver Ultra tab. If you have more than 1 Direct Debit arrangement with a debit user on your USaver Ultra and you cancel any of those arrangements, this will automatically stop all debits from your account by that debit user. 19
