Our verdict

Make unlimited ANZ transactions and tap and pay using your compatible phone or wearable device with Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Google Pay.

The ANZ Access Advantage account is designed for everyday spending with a variety of different ways to pay. Make payments in store or online with the free Visa Debit Card or use Visa payWave to tap and go for purchases under $100. You can also link your account to Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay or Garmin Pay and leave your debit card at home.

There is a $5 monthly account-keeping fee for this account. This can be waived if you deposit $2,000 a month, and it’s also waived if you’re a full-time student or you’re under 21. That being said, there are a lot of transaction accounts in the market with no account-keeping fees and no deposit conditions to meet.

You can make free ATM withdrawals at all ANZ, CBA, NAB and Westpac ATMs in Australia. This account does charge overseas ATM withdrawal fees and international transaction fees, so keep this in mind if you plan to do a lot of overseas travelling with this card.

Pros

  • Apple Pay available with linked ANZ Visa Debit card
  • Ability to personalise graphics on your linked Visa debit card
  • $0 Minimum deposit requirement

Cons

  • Minimum $2,000 deposit required every month to get the $0 monthly fee
  • international transaction fees apply
  • $5 Overseas ATM Withdrawal Fee

Apple Pay available with your linked ANZ Visa Debit card

ANZ was the first of the Big Four banks in Australia to launch Apple Pay. Apple Pay lets you purchase items with one natural motion. All you need to do is hold your iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 or iPhone SE to the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID.

How to link Apple Pay with your ANZ Visa Debit card

Go to Wallet > Click on the + symbol on the top right-hand corner > Use your iPhone to scan the card (you can also manually put in the details) > Enter your card security code > Verify your card via SMS.

$0 monthly account service fee when deposit conditions are met

As long as you deposit a minimum of $2,000 into the account by the last day of the month, the monthly fee is waived. If you miss the minimum deposit one month, you will be charged $5. This is a month-by-month feature, so if you miss the deposit cut off in January, you can still qualify for no account fees in February.

Access to your account 24/7

You have 24/7 access to your account using an ANZ-issued Visa debit card. You can use your Visa debit card online, over the phone and overseas. You can use ANZ Internet banking, the ANZ app or ANZ phone banking.


Kelly Vieira's headshot

"This account isn't anything flash - a $5 monthly fee is kind of a letdown compared to others in the market. But if you opt for a home loan with ANZ, you can add this account as an offset for just $10 per month, which is less than the annual fee for a bunch of other loan products with offsets. Plus ANZ still has a brick-and-mortar presence (at least in Sydney) which has been useful when I have needed to expedite some things and live chatbots just weren't cutting it. "

I lived in Australia for 1 year and used this card. However, I returned to my country and I still pay the $5 fee per month. How can I stop the fees from my contry?

What is the interest rate for 7 months on $200,000


Avatar

Angus Kidman Finder

October 18, 2023

Currently this account pays 0.01% on amounts between $50,000 and $99,999, and 0.02% on amounts above that. Those rates are not fixed and can change. This is a transaction account so interest isn’t a key feature – you might want to compare high-interest accounts to find other options. Hope this helps.

Can I link a Citibank Online Saver account with an ANZ Access Advantage account?

March 12, 2018

Hi MA,


Thanks for your question.


I’m afraid that it’s not possible to link your Citibank Online Saver to ANZ Access Advantage. You may have to open an ANZ Online Saver, ANZ Progress Saver or ANZ Term Deposits savings accounts then link it to the ANZ Access Advantage instead.


Cheers,

May

Hi,


I will be studying in Melbourne soon and I was wondering if depositing a lump sum (way more than the AUD2000.00 minimum), will it still be charged the monthly fee? Even if the remaining amount left in the account is more than AUD2000.00?


Also, is this a simple bank account or savings account?


Do you guys offer a savings account for international students that will not be charged when one draws money from ATMs?


Also, where are your closest ATMs for Carlton, Melbourne?

Hi DT,


Thanks for your question.


The monthly account fee is waived if you deposit $2000 per month. It will not count the remaining amount from the lump sum. However, if you are a full-time student, you can request with ANZ to have the monthly fees waived.


This is also an everyday transaction account, not a savings account. You may be interested in taking a look at our student account page to review your options. Some of these accounts charge no ATM fees provided you withdraw from ATMs within the same bank network.


I hope this helps.


Regards,

Clarizza
