RMB Investment and Corporate Banking South Africa Departments Not Available on Confirmation.com

The majority of RMB Investment and Corporate Banking South Africa's confirmations can be facilitated through Confirmation.com. There are however a few departments that are in the process of being on boarded and have thus not launched on Confirmation.com yet.

Should an auditor want a confirmation from any of these departments, they would need to contact the department directly. Confirmation.com is constantly adding bank departments onto the system and will notify auditors once these additional departments have launched. Please refer below to a list of email addresses that can be used to send a manual paper request to the bank.

RMB Investment and Corporate Banking South Africa's Form Setup Instructions
Depending on how information can be extracted from the bank systems, a form can be set up in 2 ways:
  • Individual account basis. The bank can only extract form details on an individual account basis. Auditors will therefore need to set up each account number as a separate form of the form type.
  • Entity wide basis. The bank can extract form details on an entity wide basis. Auditors can therefore send a single form of the form type using a main account number. As information is supplied on an entity wide basis all other account numbers do NOT need to be supplied.
  • RMB will accept Client Authorizations as per company resolution or equivalent authority held with the Bank.
  • Please ensure the required number of Client Electronic Signatures/Signer names as per resolution or equivalent authority is obtained before forwarding the requests to RMB to prevent denials and time delay.
NB: The Cash Management and Letter of Credit forms are no longer accepted. Should you wish to confirm:
  •   Cash management facilities send an Asset form.
  •   Letters of Credit send a Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees form.
  •   You can still send a Securities form for Custody accounts, however, if you want to confirm collateral you need to send an Asset form.
