Overview for Government Entities (Australia)

  • Updated

To create a Weel account for your business or organisation, we need to collect and verify certain information about you and your business. Learn more about why we require this information.

There are three categories of information we require for Government Entities, such as departments or statutory bodies.

  1. Applicant - the individual person applying for Weel on behalf of the business, who must be an Australian citizen
  2. Business - the details of the business you're creating a business account for
  3. Stakeholders - associated with the business

You can confirm your business structure by searching the Australian Business Register.

Note: Please note this is a guide on the baseline information, there may be additional information required at a later stage.

1. Applicant Details

The applicant is the individual person applying for Weel on behalf of the business. The applicant must be an Australian citizen and must be able to satisfy the electronic safe harbour. We will require the following information about the applicant:

  • Position in the company e.g. a Director or an authorised person applying on behalf of the company, like a CFO or Finance Manager
  • Two forms of government-issued ID (passport, driver’s licence, or Medicare card)
  • A Letter of Authority if they are not the Director of the company, confirming they are authorised to open the account
