I have a few questions. Is the government aware of any deposit-taking institution in Australia that allows for bank account number portability—that is, the ability to keep the same account number, the same BSB number, and shift to a different bank? Say you're a Commonwealth Bank customer and your number starts in 016, or whatever it is, and you keep that same number if you transfer to ANZ or any other deposit-taking institution—aka bank—in Australia.
