I am trying to log on to Internet Banking and am getting a plain white screen. What do I do?

You may have a Pop-up Stopper enabled, which will prevent the logon screen from opening. To log on to Internet Banking, you will need to disable it or configure it to accept the Bank of Melbourne logon page. For information on how to do this, you will need to contact your program vendor. Some Pop-up Stopper programs allow you to override them by holding the Shift or Ctrl key down and clicking the logon link at the same time. Once this program is disabled or configured to accept the Bank of Melbourne logon page you will be able to successfully log on to Internet Banking.

Are there any transaction limits applicable to Internet Banking?

Transaction Limits for Internet Banking
When you transfer funds, make a Payee transfer or make a BPAY^® payment, there are certain limits that apply when using Internet Banking. Some of those limits are displayed in the table below. Note: For a complete list of Transaction Limits, please refer to your account terms and conditions.

Transaction	Per Transaction	Cumulative Daily Limit
Paying a Payee Account that was set up online	$5,000¹	$25,000¹ ($5,000 per Payee Account)
Paying a Payee Account that was set up via form	$100,000	$100,000
Paying a bill via BPAY^®	$100,000²	$100,000²
Transferring funds via Telegraphic Transfer	$50,000	$50,000
Paying a Payee Account that was set up online	$5,000	$25,000
The 'Cumulative Daily Limit' is reset at midnight each day. If you try to make a payment that exceeds this limit, you will receive an error message. Where you program a payment to be made in the future, we will not advise you if the payment has been rejected, for example due to insufficient funds. You should check on the day of payment to see if the payment has been made, or select email notification when setting up the schedule.

Scheduled Payments and Exceeding Daily Limits
When you schedule or make a Payee Account transfer or a BPAY^® Payment from your account, we will check to ensure that the payment does not exceed the daily transaction limit (see list of limits above).
However, we do not check and will not advise you if the sum total of your scheduled payments will exceed the daily transaction limit. You should check on the day of payment to see if the payment has been made, or select email notification when setting up the schedule.

The Detail

1. You can use the 'Internet and Phone Banking - Payee Account Information (also known as 'Third Party)' form to increase daily limit, change details, or cancel a Payee Account. You can obtain this form from Internet Banking by visiting the 'My Payee Accounts' screen within the 'Transfers and Payments' menu. Simply select the Payee you wish to amend and chose 'Increase Payee Limit'.

2. A $15,000 maximum daily limit applies to certain billers. Also, each biller sets individual minimum and maximum transaction limits, which may be higher or lower than the limits we impose.
