How the Finder Score helps you find a better savings account

The Finder Score is a simple score out of 10. The higher a savings account's score, the better we think it is for the average customer.

We score each savings account in our database of hundreds based on a data-driven methodology with 2 main criteria: Does the account offer a high interest rate? And is it easy for savers to actually earn that rate?

Different ways to bank with ANZ

ANZ offers many different ways to do your banking.

ANZ bank branches

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 ATM network

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 and mobile banking

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.

More than 3.5 million Australians have downloaded the ANZ app. It has a 4.5 star rating in the Google Play store, and a 4.7 star rating on the App Store. It offers spending categorisation and tracking tools, spending alerts and the ability to instantly block and unblock your card. The ANZ Spendi feature allows you to set a personal daily spending limit, and get push notifications when you're getting close to reaching it.

ANZ contactless payment options

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.

Pros and cons of banking with ANZ

Pros

  • Accounts for all. ANZ offers dedicated bank accounts for personal and business customers, students, pensioners, seniors and kids.
  • Global presence. ANZ is a major bank with a large global network, so you'll be able to find ANZ branches and ATMs while you're travelling.
  • Large ATM and branch network. Despite the bank closing a lot of its branches over the past few years, ANZ still has more bank branches and ATMs than many other Australian banks.

Cons

  • Conditions for fee waivers. Some ANZ accounts have certain criteria you need to meet to qualify for monthly fee waivers.
  • Interest rates less competitive. The savings account interest rates offered by ANZ are often less competitive than other smaller, digital banks.

      Hi,

      To make a transfer of that amount overseas, you’ll need to touch base with the ANZ International Payments team. This is a specific team that has specific security processes. To complete an international money transfer, you can call 1800 352 535, from overseas +61 3 9683 9999 (reverse charges) available from 8 am to 8 pm AEST (cut-off timeframe for an international money transfer is 7:30 pm AEST), Monday to Friday.

      Best,

    Which bank will allow me to open a trust account for Grandchildren if I don’t have their birth certificates?

      JoelMarch 8, 2018

      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?

      AvatarFinder
      ShirleyJanuary 7, 2016Finder

      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.

      Cheers,
      Shirley
