"you"
Your aggregate Business Lending with NAB and why this matters |
|
The aggregate of our business finance credit exposures to you and your related (business) entities is used to determine if you are a Small Business. The Banking Code applies to our relationship with you if you are a small business as defined in the Banking Code. However, we will also treat you as a Small Business, and therefore apply the Banking Code, when the total of our business finance credit exposures to you and your related (business) entities is less than AUD$5,000,000. The table below sets out business facilities you have with us, and our business finance credit exposures under those facilities. Some of your Facility Limits may be denominated in a foreign currency, however, we have converted these to an Australian dollar figure for the purposes of the table below. You should always check your Facility Limit by referring to the specific Facility Details. If your Facility Limit is denominated in a foreign currency as described in the Facility Details, then that is your Facility Limit and the Australian dollar equivalent below is indicative only and could change according to changes in the exchange rate. We may also have other business finance credit exposures to you and your related (business) entities under separate agreements. These need to be taken into account to determine whether you are a Small Business for the purposes of this Agreement. |
