Document certifiers must not be related to the applicant (e.g. their parent, child, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or cousin, spouse or partner of the customer) or the application (e.g. Director of the business, employee, trustee). The document certifier also cannot be a person who lives at the same address as the customer.

All documents need to be certified in the last 6 months and we require one certification statement per document (unless it is explicitly clear that the certification statement applies to more than one document).
We'll send you a text message and an email to let you know your account has been successfully opened. We'll also send you a welcome pack in the post which includes your Digipass device and can take 5 - 7 days to arrive by post.
As of the 1st of July 2017, all Australian banks are required to collect information about foreign tax residents (under the Common Reporting Standard – CRS, & Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act - FATCA). As a result, all customers are required to let us know if they are a tax resident of any country other than Australia. If you are a foreign tax resident, you may need to supply your TIN (tax identification number). For those who are only Australian tax residents it is not compulsory to quote your Tax File Number, however if you do not provide your Tax File Number, Rabobank is legally obliged to deduct withholding tax (currently 49%) on behalf of the ATO from any interest earned.
