Right of Access to Information

The Promotion of Access to Information Act was passed in order to give effect to the constitutional right of access to information held by a public or private body for the exercise or protection of any right.

A requester must be given access to any record of the Standard Bank if all the following requirements are met:
  • The record is required for the exercise or protection of any right
  • The requester meets the procedural requirements of the Act relating to a request for access to a record
  • The request falls outside any of the grounds of refusal contemplated in the Act.
