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.
