This message does not apply to customers who have registered with

Further to the secure message sent on 16 March 07, please be advised
that from mid July internet banking funds transfers to other
people's NAB accounts (not within your own linked profile) will be
processed the next business day.

This change in processing time will offer further protection for
customers against e-fraud and assist NAB in stopping any
fraudulent transactions.

You can continue to have these types of transfers processed
immediately by using NAB's free SMS Payment Security service which
provides a whole extra layer of protection so you can bank online
with extra peace of mind.

SMS payment security works by instantly sending your mobile phone
a unique security code via SMS to confirm your transaction. Just
enter the code and you're done. So even if your ID and password
fall into the wrong hands, funds cannot be transferred without
your approval.

View a demo at nab.com.au/sms. To register call 1300 651 656 or
contact your banker.

This change does not affect:

    First, in July 2001, NAB had a $450 million write down of the value of its capitalised mortgage servicing rights (CMSRs) during the quarter ending June 30, 2001, and was the result of exceptionally high mortgage refinance volumes which lowered the value of the CMSRs, combined with a more challenging capital markets environment in which to hedge interest rate risk.

    This was followed shortly by a second write-down reported in September totalling $1.75 billion; this second write-down consisted of US$400 million from an incorrect interest rate assumption embedded in the mortgage servicing rights valuation model, US$760 million from changed assumptions in the model flowing from the continued unprecedented uncertainty and turbulence in the mortgage servicing market, and US$590 million from writing off of the goodwill. In total, NAB booked $2.2 billion in losses due to HomeSide. 2004:

    National@Docklands new flagship development officially opened at Melbourne Docklands. 2004: AU$360 million foreign currency options losses are followed by the resignations of the CEO and Chairman of the Board.

Continues major AFL sponsorship with added naming rights for AFL Auskick. 2006: NAB wins coveted "Bank of the Year" award of Money Magazine.
