ConnectID requires Australia availability and an eligible bank account

ConnectID is available only in Australia and only where the partner offers it. You need an active digital account with a ConnectID Network bank, identity verification with that bank within the prior five years, and compliance with that bank’s ConnectID minimum-age requirements. This does not expressly waive the main KWS adult-use rule.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Loss of network participation or a need for intervention can prevent verification

KWS or the bank may be unable to offer or process ConnectID if KWS’s network participation is suspended or terminated, or there are grounds to believe the verification needs intervention, for example because you may be vulnerable. These are additional examples of possible service withholding.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

You must be at least 18 and legally an adult to use KWS

Using KWS requires both being at least 18 and reaching the legal age of majority in your country of residence. Using KWS or otherwise accepting the terms binds you to them; if you disagree, you must not use the services. The ConnectID appendix describes 16+ and 18+ age confirmations but does not expressly relax this adult-use requirement.

Details not recorded for this card

Supporting quotations

To use KWS and to enter into the contract created by these Terms, you must be at least 18 years old and be an adult of the legal age of majority in your country of residence. Please read these Terms carefully before you start using KWS. By using KWS or otherwise accepting these Terms, you accept and agree to be bound and comply with these Terms. If you do not want to agree to these Terms, you must not use our services.
Your bank only tells us whether you are 16+ or 18+.

Not stated here

  • How the 16+ confirmation option relates to the adult-use requirement is not explained.

Cross-references

  • contrast (model-proposed): Your bank sends only a 16+ or 18+ age confirmation to KWS — The appendix describes 16+ or 18+ age confirmations while the main terms require at least 18 and legal adulthood for KWS use. The source does not expressly reconcile these; the analysis does not infer that 16-year-olds may contract.
