pay anyone withdrawals are only available to Netwealth Wealth Accelerator account holders. For information on when you can withdraw from your Super Accelerator account, read your member information guides here.

Payments to third party bank accounts are available to Netwealth Wealth Accelerator account holders who do not have multiple signatories on their account.

If you are an advised client, you will need to:

1. Authorise your adviser to make BPAY and /or Pay Anyone payments on your behalf.

2. Add your mobile number in order to receive messages related to BPAY payments.

To do this, once logged in navigate via the main menu to My Details > Bank Settings > Authorise Adviser.

If not, you will need to sell assets to top up available cash by navigating to Transactions > Buy and Sell where you will be able to switch out of a managed fund, managed account holding, or sell shares. The withdrawal will not proceed until sufficient cash is available, so you will need to wait for any share trades to fill on market, or managed fund sales to settle before you make your payment.

If you are withdrawing money, you will have the option to sell down form a managed fund at the time of the withdrawal. To track the status of the managed fund redemption, navigate to your Dashboard and look under My Tasks > Pending Withdrawals .

How-to-guide 

Making a withdrawal or third party payment - Investors 

 

Step 1: Navigate to the cash withdrawal tool

Any user with online transact access to the portal may make a withdrawal or third party payment. Select any account and then navigate using the main menu to Transactions > Pay and Withdraw > Withdrawal 

 

Step 2: Input the amount to withdraw from your account

a) Elect the withdrawal amount 

If there is enough available cash, input in the amount you would like to withdraw, and a narration for the withdrawal (e.g. investment property deposit).

b) Sell assets to top up available cash (optional) 

If there is not enough available cash at the time of the withdrawal, you can choose to sell a managed fund(s) within the withdrawal screen (select the Yes option at the bottom of the page).

To track the status of the managed fund redemption, navigate to your Dashboard and look under My Tasks > Pending Withdrawals.


Advanced tip:
If you would prefer selling shares, you can proceed with the withdrawal and then go to Transactions > Buy and Sell > Sell Shares. The withdrawal will not proceed until sufficient cash is available, so will need to wait for any share trades to fill on market, or managed fund sales to settle.
