service for the benefit or use of the eligible person is paid into a trust
account in the name of the eligible person kept at an
authorised deposit-taking institution or other financial institution approved
by the Secretary.

(2) The payment must be made as soon as is practicable, and in any event, must
be made before the end of the next bank business day after the day on which
the money is received.
