Please find a copy of the new Terms and Conditions (version 8) saved here. For your easy reference, the main changes are summarised below:
• Section 1 clause 1.1 was expanded to reflect that owing to Anti-Money Laundering legislation the Bank is required to update customer information from time to time as may become necessary.

• Section 2 clause 5.1 (c) was inserted to state that where the Bank is required to give customer information, or records of customer transactions, to third party service providers, or other agents acting on the Bank’s behalf to discharge regulatory monitoring responsibilities, customer information will not be given without a Non Disclosure Agreement being in place between the Bank and the third party.
• Section 2 clause 12.1 was amended to reflect that where the Bank makes a major change or a lot of minor changes to the Terms and Conditions, the Bank will make the new Terms and Conditions available to you in a durable medium but will not post them to you directly unless requested to do so.
