When there is a sole stockholder; or a sole surviving stockholder; or a sole executor or administrator of a stockholder; or a sole surviving executor or administrator of a stockholder, warrants may be sent—
To the stockholder, or to his or her executor, or administrator;
To his or her attorney, duly authorized under a letter of attorney, which will be retained by the Bank; or
To any person, firm, or company, whose discharge shall be full and sufficient.
When there are two or more stockholders, warrants may be sent—
To the first stockholder in the account, upon his sole request, provided the Bank has not received any written notice to the contrary from any other of the stockholders;
To any stockholder in the account upon the request of all the stockholders;
To an attorney duly authorized under a letter of attorney, which will be retained by the Bank; or,
To any person, firm, or company, upon the request of all the stockholders, and the discharge of such person, firm, or company, shall be full and sufficient.
(2) Interest warrants sent by post may be cashed at any branch of the Bank within Australia, provided the person or persons in whose favour they are drawn are known to the manager, or produce satisfactory identification, and provided also that the funds at the disposal of the Branch Manager will permit, but payment cannot be demanded, except in the capital cities of Australia; or, interest will be paid to credit of account in any head or principal banking office in Sydney, for transmission to a like credit in any branch banking office within Australia, upon request in Form K.

(8) Instructions to transmit warrants by post, or to pay to credit of account in a bank, will remain in force, although the stock may have been added to, or a part sold.
