Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’ve already got a Judo Bank Loan product, why do I need to provide all my details again when applying for an online Business Term Deposit?
As part of our regulatory obligations, we need to collect and verify your information when you apply for new products with Judo. All of the information we require will be outlined through the online application process, however, if you need help, you can contact us by calling 13 JUDO (13 58 36) or sending an email to customers@judo.bank
Q: Can my relationship banker set up and manage my term deposit for me?
No, our Business Term Deposit products have been developed as simple, no fuss, online products so they can’t be managed by your relationship banker on your behalf. We’ve built our Term Deposits with the aim of providing an easily self-managed experience and, importantly, a market-leading rate. Unlike other products, deposit products are relatively simple - no detailed credit assessment is required, and the business information required generally relates to verifying the business’ identity and status (including tax residency status).
Q: What happens when I apply for a Business Term Deposit online?
All of the information you will need to complete your application for your business is outlined before you start your application. Please have it handy in order to make the application process easier for you. Once you have completed the application, we will undertake all the checks required to verify information about the business and the parties related to the application. If we need any other information, we’ll be back in touch with you to let you know. Please note, that we may, at our sole discretion, decline to accept any person as an Account Holder of Judo Bank. For example, if we are unable to verify your identity or that of any related person (such as an authorised representative of, or intermediary for, the business) then we may not be able to open an account for your business. If your application is approved and your account is opened, you will receive an email and SMS confirming all the details you will need to be able to fund your new Business Term Deposit account.
Q: How do I make changes to my online Business Term Deposit account information if any of my business details or related persons change?
If your business undergoes a change, you will need to notify us by calling 13 JUDO (13 58 36) or sending an email to customers@judo.bank so that we can remove, replace or add any other related persons or amend any of your business details. We may need some supporting documentation related to the change in order to process your request (for example, if we need to identity verify any new related person as required by law).
Q: Can my relationship banker see what online Business Term Deposit(s) I hold, what interest I’ve earned, and when my online Business Term Deposit(s) mature?
No, our online Business Term Deposit products have been developed as simple, no-fuss, online products, so they cannot be viewed or managed by your relationship banker on your behalf. We have built our online Business Term Deposits in order to provide an easily self-managed experience and, importantly, a market-leading rate. Via our web-based Internet Banking platform, online Business Term Deposit account holders can see what interest applies to their account and when the term deposit matures.
Q: What happens when my online Business Term Deposit is nearing maturity?
All information about a maturing Term Deposit account, including the opening date and maturity date, can be found in your Internet Banking profile by navigating to My Account > Maturity instructions (on the right). We will also send you a couple of reminders via email before your online Business Term Deposit matures. Note that you will need to let us know what you would like to do with your funds before maturity, otherwise, your maturity instructions will default to reinvestment of the entire account balance as at the maturity date into a new online Business Term Deposit, subject to the 10-calendar day grace period that begins on the maturity date (during which time you can still choose to withdraw, top up, change terms or transfer the funds in your account without incurring any penalties).
Q: Why do I need to provide details of certain related persons associated with my business?
As part of our regulatory obligations, we need to be able to identify and verify certain related persons associated with your business. As part of your online Business Term Deposit application, you’ll be asked to provide a unique email address and, preferably, a unique Australian mobile phone number for each related person. Both email addresses and both mobile phone numbers will be verified as part of the application process.
Q: What happens if I’ve provided incorrect details on the application?
You may start a new application using the same login details you created when you initially applied. If you need any help, please contact us by calling 13 JUDO (13 58 36).
Q: What happens if my online Business Term Deposit application was unsuccessful?
If we have been unsuccessful in verifying the information you have provided related to your business, we will contact you.
