Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Your "FIN110 Supplier Maintenance" form states that one of the following is required for proof of bank account:

"Any of the following:
- A pre-printed deposit slip which includes the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's name.
- A bank statement which includes the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's name.

- A letter from the bank which includes the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's name. This must be signed and stamped by the bank.

- An internet printout which includes the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's name and the web address along the top or bottom of the page. This does not need to be signed and stamped by the bank unless all of the above is not provided on the printout.
- ATM printout must show the bank logo and the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's full name.

- Hand-written bank account evidence as long as it includes the full bank account number (bank, branch, account number and suffix) and the account holder's name. This must be signed and stamped by the bank."

1. Can you please supply any policy documents regarding these requirements and advice given by your auditors.
2. Can you please let me know why services such as TransferWise Borderless accounts which use the BNZ as a clearing bank are not acceptable to receive money?
3. If TransferWise accounts are in fact acceptable can you tell me why your purchasing refuse to accept internet printouts of TransferWise bank statements or a letter from TransferWise stating that the account has been issued to the suppliers company.

Yours faithfully,
Glen Barnes
