This page describes the Public Account Registration System, which allows citizens to register their bank accounts with the government to receive various benefits and subsidies. Registration eliminates the need to provide account information and bank statements repeatedly with each application. Citizens can register through four methods: My Number Portal, financial institutions, tax return filing, or pension claims. Each person can register only one account in their own name, and it can be used for over 160 types of benefits including pensions, tax refunds, and child allowances. Account information must be updated if the holder's name or address changes.
