Our verdict

This is a business bank account with no monthly account keeping fees and a free ANZ Business Visa Debit card.

The ANZ Business Essentials account is a simple, straight-forward business bank account that is designed to help you manage your business funds. It allows you to keep your business cash separate from your personal accounts.

This account doesn’t have any monthly account keeping fees, which is great as some business bank accounts have monthly fees of $10 or more. It also has unlimited ANZ ATM and electronic transactions, and up to 20 free ANZ transactions per month (this includes cheque deposits/withdrawals and staff assisted transactions). Fees apply to staff-assisted transactions beyond this limit, so be sure to factor in this cost.

You can also link your bank account transactions directly to your accounting software using ANZ Bank Feeds, which is handy for accounting and tax purposes.

Pros

  • No monthly account keeping fee
  • Free ANZ Business Visa Debit card
  • Link your bank account to your accounting software
  • Access ANZ Internet Banking and mobile banking

Cons

  • Free ANZ transactions capped at 20 per month
  • Additional fees for staff-assisted transactions

Hi, it will cost $1.60 for staff-assisted transactions. ANZ is currently waiving additional fees for ATM and electronic transactions.

Does this account earn interest?

Hi, no it doesn’t earn interest. It’s a transaction account designed for day-to-day business spending, not for saving.

Just wondering if the 20 included ANZ transactions covered staff assisted transactions (ie cash deposits) and Cheque deposits?

Hi Joseph,

Cheque deposits and cash deposits are included within the 20 free ANZ transactions per month.


Thanks

Can you advise if I can make cheque deposits via Australia Post free of charge. Does it come with a cheque book and if so are there any fees for this. Does it integrate with Xero bank feeds
