ANZ offers many different ways to do your banking.
ANZ has roughly 400 bank branches spread across Australia. The bank has closed around 150 of its branches over the last few years, as more customers move away from physical banking and take up online banking. Across the globe ANZ has around 1,000 branches. Customers can go into an ANZ branch for general help and assistance with day-to-day banking, to deposit cash or cheques, to open or close accounts or to speak to a professional banker.
ANZ has roughly 900 ATMs around Australia and an additional 3,000 around the world. This is fewer than CommBank and Westpac, but a lot more than many other smaller banks. Some of ANZ's ATMs are Smart ATMs, which allow customers to deposit cash and withdraw cash without their ANZ debit card and using their phone instead. ANZ customers can also withdraw cash from Westpac, CommBank and NAB ATM's for free.
ANZ Internet Banking allows you to monitor your accounts, move money between accounts, pay bills, download recent statements and apply for new products with ANZ.

ANZ made headlines in 2016 for being the first major bank in Australia to launch Apple Pay. It now also offers Google Pay and Samsung Pay to customers with an ANZ debit card. You can also use your phone to withdraw cash at ANZ Smart ATMs.

Which bank will allow me to open a trust account for Grandchildren if I don’t have their birth certificates?
Hi Sue,
Thanks for leaving a question on Finder.
We have a comparison of trust account for your children. However, you may need your child’s birth certificate and other forms of acceptable ID, for example, a Medicare card or school attendance letter. The documentation requirements vary between banks, so it’s a good idea to phone ahead and confirm what paperwork you need to bring. Finally, you will need to provide your Tax File Number (TFN) when you open an account. Read on for information about why this is important.
Please check out the comparison table from the link above then click the name of your preferred account to find out the details and their minimum eligibility. You may then click the green ‘Go to site’ button to get in touch with the bank and to submit your application online.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
Cheers,
Joel
I’m moving to Australia from NZ. The money I’m bringing over is around $400,000. What’s the best and cheapest way for me to transfer. Which is the best account to open?
Hi Alison,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
You may like to reconsider opening a multi-currency account. This type of savings account allows you to hold different currencies (the popular ones) including NZD in one account. You can also deposit your money in NZD (with varying fees, depending on the account). When you arrive in Australia, you can then withdraw them in AUD denominations. While these accounts accept non-Australian citizens, they may require you to have an Australian address when you apply. Best to contact the bank first to confirm this info and discuss your other questions related to account opening. Please read through the guide on that page to get more details about how multi-currency accounts work and the possible fees you may incur.
For your options in sending money to Australia, you may refer to our list of money transfer services with no maximum sending limit. Our page provides information on what you should know when sending large sums into Australia.
I hope this helps.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us again if you have additional questions.
Cheers,
Ash
Can I open an ANZ banking account in Australia as a non-resident/tourist?
Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your question.
You can open an ANZ bank account if you intend to stay in Australia for an extended period of time, such as expats or migrants.
Short-term tourist Visa holders may not be eligible and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Request For Information on Opening a Savings Account
I would like to introduce myself as a permanent resident of New Zealand with foreign passport. I would like to open an online savings account to enable my Aussie share dividends to be paid into this bank account as a requirement of receiving my Aussie dividends from Aussie companies. I am also an investor in Aussie companies.
Please kindly let me know the process and procedure to open such savings account with your bank.
Thank you with best wishes.
Nops.
Auckland, New Zealand.
Hi Nops,
Thanks for your question.
Please note that to open an account with ANZ in Australia as a first-time customer, you’re required to present valid ID at a local branch.
An alternative you may want to consider is to approach an ANZ branch in New Zealand and requesting that they open an Australian bank account for you using their brand relationship.
Another alternative could be to use a multi-currency account issued in New Zealand.
Cheers,
Shirley
