These accounts are treated differently. In the event that a director of a company with a CommSec account in its name passes, you will firstly need to contact ASIC to update their company information. Please then let us know, via email or by phoning us using the contact details below. We will request a certified copy¹ of the Death certificate².

To add a director, please complete an Addtitional Authority form and send this to us with a certified copy¹ of the new director’s identification (passport or driver’s license).

Please email the documentation to commsecestatesmanagement@cba.com.au or post to CommSec estates management, Locked bag 22, Australia Square, NSW 1215.
