Here are some tips for you when using our eCommunications and eStatements services.
Whitelisting to receive our emails
Many internet service providers have spam filters to give you greater control over the emails you receive and to help you avoid junk email.
Unfortunately, these filters may block emails you wish to receive from us. To avoid this, you will need to add donotreply@bankvic.com.au to your email address book and update your anti-spam program whitelist or filters.
An email whitelist is a list of contacts that the user deems are acceptable to receive email from and should not be sent to the trash folder.
Anti-spam programs
Spam filters can contain sender whitelists and blacklists, as well as key words to look for in emails. If a spam filter keeps a whitelist, mail from the email addresses, domains, and/or internet provider addresses listed will always be allowed.
Follow the steps outlined to whitelist us in the more commonly-used email providers. Please note that these instructions may not be exact and you’ll still need to refer to your provider’s manual or help files if necessary.
Hotmail - how to whitelist
Yahoo mail - how to whitelist
Gmail - how to whitelist
Microsoft Outlook (most versions) - how to whitelist
AOL - how to whitelist

No. If you have questions about your account, you’ll need to contact us.
I donât seem to be receiving any email notifications â whatâs happening?
If you’re not receiving your email notifications and we have the correct email address, it’s possible that your email provider designates our eStatement notifications as junk mail and sends these to a ‘junk mail’ folder. You’ll need to contact your local internet service provider and ask for instructions on how to allow notices from donotreply@bankvic.com.au to be on their ‘safe’ list or to be delivered directly to your Inbox.
