incapacity, bankruptcy or death of the drawer. ANZ may charge a dishonour fee.

2.5 Bank cheques

Bank cheques are cheques instructing payment from thebank itself rather than from a customer’s account. They aredesigned to provide an alternative to carrying largeamounts of cash when a personal cheque is notacceptable. Bank cheques are usually requested becauseof the higher likelihood that they will be paid. Howeverbank cheques should not be regarded as equivalent tocash.

Bank cheques can be purchased by ANZ and non-ANZcustomers and a fee is charged. A bank may dishonour abank cheque if:

• the bank cheque is forged or counterfeit;• the bank cheque has been fraudulently and materially

altered;• a fraud or other crime has been committed;• the bank is told the bank cheque has been lost or

stolen;• there is a court order restraining the bank from paying a

bank cheque;• the bank has not received payment or value for the

issue of the bank cheque; or• if a bank cheque is presented by a person who is not

entitled to the cheque proceeds.

If a bank cheque is lost or stolen, ANZ will, on certainconditions, provide a replacement cheque for a fee.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither ANZnor ANZ Trustees will be liable for any loss or damage,including consequential loss or damage and legal costs,suffered because of a disruption.

If you have opened a V2 PLUS investment as an individualfor personal use, this disclaimer of liability does not applyto electronic banking transactions (see section 7.‘Electronic Banking Conditions of Use’ for conditions whichapply to those transactions).

card or CRN.• by using your birth date or an alphabetic code which is

a recognisable part of your name as a password, PIN orTelecode; or

36

• by otherwise acting with extreme carelessness in failing to protect the security of your password, PIN or Telecode;

the account holder is liable for the actual losses whichoccur before ANZ is notified of the loss or disclosure of yourpassword, PIN or Telecode.

Where you must use more than one of your passwords, PINs or Telecodes to perform an ANZ Internet Bankingtransaction, and you voluntarily disclose, or keep a recordof, one or more of them (but not all of them) the accountholder will only be liable under this clause if the disclosureor record was the dominant contributing cause of thelosses.

If, after you become aware of the loss, theft or breach of thesecurity of your password, PIN, Telecode or card, youunreasonably delay notifying ANZ, the account holder willbe liable for losses incurred between:

• the time you first became aware of any of the eventsdescribed above, or in the case of loss or theft of a card,should reasonably have become aware of the loss ortheft; and

• the time ANZ is actually notified of the relevant event.

However, you are not liable for any loss:

• which, over a set period of time, is greater than thetransaction limit for that period;

• caused by overdrawing your account or exceeding anyagreed credit limit;

• where ANZ has agreed the account could not beaccessed electronically; or

If it is not clear whether you have contributed to the losscaused by an unauthorised transaction and where apassword, PIN or Telecode was required to perform theunauthorised transaction, the account holder is liable forthe least of:• $150 (unless the account is used for business

purposes); or

37

• the actual loss at the time ANZ is notified of the loss,theft or unauthorised use of the card or that thesecurity of the password, PIN or Telecode has beenbreached (but not any loss incurred on any one day ifthe amount is greater than the daily transaction limit orother periodic transaction limit if any); or

• If you discover that the amount you instructed ANZ topay was less than the amount you needed to pay, youcan make another BPAY® for the shortfall. If for anyreason you cannot make a BPAY® for the shortfall, youcan ask ANZ to arrange for a reversal of the initialpayment and you can make a second payment for the

38

correct amount. If you discover that the amount youinstructed ANZ to pay was more than the amount youneeded to pay, you can ask ANZ to request a reversal ofthe initial payment from the biller on your behalf, and ifthis occurs, you can make a second payment for thecorrect amount.

(i) ANZ cannot recover the amount from the person whoreceived it within 20 Banking Business Days of ANZattempting to do so; and

(ii) the payment was made as a result of a paymentdirection which did not comply with ANZ’s prescribedsecurity procedures.

Fraudulent Payments

If a BPAY® is induced by the fraud of a person involved inthe BPAY® Scheme, then that person should refund you theamount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if thatperson does not refund you that amount, you must bearthe loss unless some other person involved in the BPAY®

Scheme knew of the fraud or would have detected it withreasonable diligence, in which case that person mustrefund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment.

Mistaken Payments

If you discover that a BPAY® has been made to a person, orfor an amount, which is not in accordance with yourinstructions (if any), and your account was debited for theamount of that payment, ANZ will credit that amount toyour account. However, if you were responsible for amistake resulting in that payment and ANZ cannot recoverthe amount of that payment from the person who received

39

it within 20 Banking Business Days of ANZ attempting todo so, you must pay that amount to ANZ.
