Does my client need a mobile phone number and email to open an IDPS account?

We require your client to nominate a current email address and mobile phone number for the purposes of receiving notices and information about their account. You must ensure your client’s email and mobile phone number remain up to date. If any of their details change, you can update these by notifying us.

As your client’s mobile phone number is used for identification verification purposes, you can’t update this online and you or your client will need to contact us via live chat.

Before you submit the request

To avoid delays in the process, please make sure you have all of the documents required to open a Wrap IDPS account.

An application form for a retail client won't be accepted where personal advice hasn't been provided as per the distribution conditions in our TMD.

How do I open a Wrap IDPS account under a Power of Attorney?

To open under power of attorney (POA), tick the box stating you’re opening under Power of Attorney. The POA will be required to accept the terms and conditions on behalf of the client. See more information on POA requirements.

What identification do I need to open a Wrap IDPS account?

For your client to be successfully electronically verified, a valid Australian Driver’s Licence is required, or alternatively an Australian passport, which is either valid or expired less than 2 years ago. See Verifying your identity electronically in Personal Help Centre.

If your client doesn’t have an Australian Driver’s Licence or Australian passport, select the option ‘Applicant does not have an Australian driver’s licence or Australian passport’ in the online application form. Please note that if this option is selected, additional documentation will be required. See Verifying your identity via certified documents in Personal Help Centre. 

What additional documents do I need to open a Wrap IDPS account?

How do I edit an application before it’s submitted?

You can make amendments to Wrap applications via Adviser Online:

  1. Log in to Adviser Online
  2. Select Applications  and click Wrap pending applications
  3. Select the application you want to amend
  4. Click through to Stage 6 and select Make changes.

This will allow you to edit the application. As mentioned above, your client will still need to sign the final version before it can be submitted successfully.

For Print, sign and upload applications, anything marked with a red asterisk in the initial stages will be locked after you’ve printed the application. If you or your client want to make any changes, select Make changes in the application screen. Please note, this will void the previous version of the application and require your client to re-sign the new version created.   

We won’t accept any amendments made in pen or pencil under any circumstances. 

Once your client’s signed application has been submitted, any further amendments will void the application. When this happens, you’ll need to create a new application. 

What does my client receive once the application has been submitted?

Once the account is open, we’ll send a welcome email to your client so they can view their account information online.
 

How long does it take to open a Wrap IDPS account?

Wrap IDPS accounts are generally opened within 1 business day.

Processing times begin only when we’ve received all necessary information and additional documents for the application. To avoid delays, please ensure you’ve completed all forms and uploaded all supporting documents before submitting.
