How do I apply for a Wealth Accelerator account?
To open a Wealth Accelerator account, you first need to read the Disclosure Documents. Once you have done that, you can:
- read and complete an application online on the Netwealth website, authorise it and send it to Netwealth; or
- download the relevant Application Forms Booklet from the Netwealth website to your computer, read and complete the forms on your computer, print and sign the forms and send them to Netwealth; or
- obtain the relevant Application Forms Booklet from the Netwealth website, from a financial adviser or by contacting Netwealth on Freecall 1800 888 223, read and complete the forms, sign the forms and send them to Netwealth.
There is no minimum initial deposit amount, however, Netwealth may at our discretion refuse to accept initial deposits of less than $10,000.
Deposits to your/your client's account can be made by Electronic Funds Transfer (‘EFT’), BPAY® or direct debit. Instructions on how to make deposits are in the relevant Application Forms Booklet. Deposits made by EFT or BPAY are initially deposited in our applications account before being transferred to the cash account.
Deposits made by direct debit are processed directly to your/your client's cash account once it has been established. The funds remain in the cash account until you select from one or more of the available investment options.
How do I nominate a bank account?
When you open your Wealth Accelerator account, you can provide details of the preferred nominated bank account. The nominated bank account is an account you/your client hold with an Australian financial institution which will be used to receive withdrawals from the Wealth Accelerator account.
You can nominate or change the nominated bank account through your online account or by submitting a form to us. You can nominate and store multiple bank accounts.
You can also nominate different bank accounts for regular withdrawals, savings plans, standing direct debit authority or for other withdrawals.
