Add an Electronic Account Authority About this guide An Electronic Account Authority defines who can authorise transactions on your CommBiz service. It is comprised of an Account Authoriser list and an Electronic Method of Operation. Electronic Account Authorities established for your CommBiz Service only apply to CommBiz and do not replace any existing authorities (signatories) on these accounts. Important If an account has been registered as a transactable account (i.e. an account on which you can process transactions via CommBiz), it will require an Electronic Account Authority. Only Administrators can submit requests to add Electronic Account Authorities. Nominating Service Delegates 1. Open your internet browser, visit commbiz.com.au and log into CommBiz using your password and token password from your security token. 2. On the top menu, select Admin > Maintenance Requests.
3. On the left-hand menu, select Add an Electronic Account Authority. 4. From the drop down list of accounts, select the account to which you wish to add the Electronic Account Authority and click Next. Page 2 of 10

You are now prompted to select one of the following Methods of Operation: One authoriser required means that only one authoriser must authorise transactions on the account regardless of the transaction value (no monetary bands).

17. Assign the authorisers to the relevant list by selecting the list under Assigned to List, then click Next. Note: The lists show the number of authorisers required prior to a payment being processed. A payment will not be processed until the number of required authoriser in each list authorise a payment. For example, if you have 1 authoriser required in List A and 1 authoriser required in List B, the payment will be sent for processing once an authoriser from list A and a authoriser from list B have authorised the payment. By assigning an authoriser to a list, they will become an authoriser for that list. 18. Check the details are correct and click Confirm. Page 9 of 10
