John Mason International are excited announce that we have teamed up with Australia’s largest bank -the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, allowing customers the opportunity to open a bank account up to three months prior to arriving in Australia. See below for more information on how Commonwealth Bank of Australia can help you:
Personalised financial migration support from Australia’s leading provider of integrated financial services.
Migrating to Australia is much more than just a change of address. While it’s an exciting time, it can also be stressful. There’s so much to think about – from settling in to a new job and finding somewhere to live, to organising international removals to Australia and sorting out bills in a new country.
With personalised* support from Commonwealth Bank, you can have one less thing to worry about – banking in Australia.
The security of Australia’s largest bank.
As Australia’s leading provider of integrated financial services, we combine strength and security with the backing of specialist teams, services, an extensive range of flexible, competitively priced products and Australia’s largest financial services network.
You will enjoy the convenience of:
- – more than 1,100 branches nationally and 3,700 Australia Post agencies.
- – over 4,200 Automated Telling Machines (ATMs).
- – 249,000 Commonwealth Bank supported EFTPOS terminals across Australia.
- – 10 call centres, which handle over 120 million calls annually.
- – NetBank, Australia’s # 1 online bank with over five million customers.
- – our free CommBank app, a market-leading app for compatible iPhone, Android and Windows 8 smartphones^ to bank with us on the go.
Instant account opening and a dedicated support team.
Opening an account with CommBank is fast, effortless and secure and provides you with instant access to your account details. We are one of the few Australian banks able to offer this benefit. You can start transferring money to your new Australian account straightaway* and view your balance online before you arrive, using NetBank***, Australia’s # 1 online bank.
Many migrants tell us they are surprised how different banking is in Australia, compared to what they’re used to. Many wish they’d had someone to help them learn what they need to know. Commonwealth Bank’s dedicated Migrant Financial Services team can help to bridge the gaps in your knowledge, so you can navigate the Australian financial system with confidence.
