NAB offers many different ways to do your banking.
NAB has more than 1,000 bank branches across Australia, with 40+ in Brisbane, 80+ in Sydney and 100+ in Melbourne. Customers can go into a NAB branch for general day-to-day banking, to deposit cash or cheques, to open or close accounts or to get help and assistance. Ubank customers can also use NAB branches, as ubank has no branches of its own.
There are more than 4,000 NAB ATMs around Australia. NAB has been reducing its ATM network for the past few years, as more people turn to online banking instead of cash. In 2019, NAB closed down almost 2,000 ATMs across Australia. At eligible NAB ATMs, you can deposit cash and cheques as well as make standard withdrawals. NAB also offers some contactless ATMs, which allow customers to withdraw cash using their phone instead of their debit card.
If you need to deposit cash into your account, you can do this at a participating Australia Post shop using Bank@Post. It's free to deposit cash into your account this way.
NAB Internet banking allows you to review transactions and balances, pay bills, transfer money between accounts, make BPAY payments, view and download statements or open new NAB accounts. You can also temporarily block your account or your debit card if you've misplaced it. NAB Defence is NAB's online security system, which will monitor your transactions for any that seem suspicious.
The NAB app is available for free on the Google Play or App Store. You can check your balance, set up your PayID for instant transfers, transfer between accounts or Pay Anyone, and block your card if needed.
NAB offers Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay to customers with a NAB debit card. This means you can use your phone (or any compatible device) to make contactless payments for everyday items, instead of using your physical debit card.
You can apply for a new NAB account online in less than 10 minutes. Just make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and have the necessary documents handy before you start your application.

Will I be able to continue making cheque payments from my NAB retirement account
Hi Ray, the NAB retirement account doesn’t appear to include any cheque facilities as standard. Note that cheque payments are being progressively removed in Australia and they won’t exist at all by 2027, so no matter which account you pick, you’ll need to move to direct debits or bank transfers at some point in the near future, no matter which account you’re using.
How do I open up another a\c, I wish to have another a\c to place my pension.
Hi Kevin,
If you have access to internet banking, you should be able to open an account within that platform. If not, you can contact NAB on 13 22 65 for customer support.
Hi, i have an existing a\c but would like to open another, I am on a disability pension, aged 62. Do you offer an a\c for people like myself,, I wish to transfer my fortnightly payments from centre link into a new a\c. ANZ has a specific a\c for people like myself, I think it would be much easier to start a new a\c with you.
HI Kevin,
You can contact NAB directly for customer support on this query – you can reach them on 13 22 65.
Best of luck!
Hi – I want to open a saver account in my SMSF.
I have $250k to invest / put on deposit.
Am I able to open an account in my smsf name and get the 4.25% interest rate?
Thanks
Brad
Hi Brad,
Based on NAB’s SMSF cash products portfolio, they don’t offer a savings products where you can earn the 4.25%. However, they offer SMSF term deposits if it interests you or check our SMSF bank accounts page for other SMSF banking products.
Thanks
Raj
Why does the retirement account show a maximum rate of .25% and a .01% minimum rate?
Hi Richa,
The maximum rate represents the highest possible rate that you can get from NAB’s Retirement account.
You earn 0.25% when your balance is above $250,000.
You earn 0.15% when your balance is $50,000 to $249,999.
You earn 0.01% when your balance is $10,000 to $49,999.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Alison
