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.

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

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
