Hi, you need to supply 2 forms of ID including your passport and driver’s licence or Medicare card. If you can’t provide these, you may need to contact the bank directly to verify your identity using another form of ID.

Hi Helen,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
Firstmac do not offer term deposits for SMSFs. We do have a guide and list of providers that provide term deposits for SMSF. Here it is https://www.finder.com.au/smsf-term-deposit
Thanks
