New customers
If you're both new customers and looking for an account where either person can authorise transactions, the easiest and quickest way to apply for a joint account is to open an account online.
You'll both need to confirm your identity using two of the following identity documents:
- Australian driver's licence
- Australian passport
- green Medicare card
Remember to have your Tax File Numbers handy if you want to avoid being charged general withholding tax on any interest you earn over a certain threshold.
You can also open your new joint account at your nearest P&N branch. You’ll need to bring your Australian driver's licence or a valid passport.
Find out what other identification documents you can use to open an account.
Existing customers
If you both already bank with us then you can open your joint account by calling 13 25 77, or by visiting your nearest branch.
And if you'd like to set up your account so that both account holders need to jointly approve transactions, we'll need to see you in branch to sign an Authority to Operate Form.
