Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth), OpenMarkets is required to identify and verify the identity of all our customers, as well as any additional beneficiaries (of an entity) owning 25% or more.
To assist in the verification of our customers, OpenMarkets uses an online identification system and reporting agency Equifax.
Online identification check (Australian residents only)
By applying to open an account with OpenMarkets, you consent to OpenMarkets conducting an online verification check of your identity. This is done using the personal details provided in your application form.

If you do not pass the online verification check you will be required to email in a copy of:

OR - Passport and a Utility Bill (no more than 3 months old -gas, electricity or water)
Once received, these documents will be verified electronically to ensure its validity.
