We have now completed updating all the signing clauses used in our documents — the SMSF Death Benefit Agreement was completed last week.
We updated our signing clauses because of feedback from banks. Even though our existing signing clauses were legally effective, we made the change to improve efficiency for our customers when dealing with banks. The change removed reference to signing by an authorised person from our interface.
To make it easier for you to notice and use the online help text we provide, we are making it more prominent and more flexible. With the new approach, an "i" icon appears just beside each question that has help text. When you click on the icon, a pop-up box appears with the relevant help text. You can move the box around and even resize it.
So far we have implemented the new icon and system for the Discretionary Trust interface. We will steadily add it to the interfaces for our other document packages.
Until the new system is implemented, the online help text appears in the right-hand column beside the relevant question — just as it always has.
