INTRODUCTION
In these terms and conditions, we, ‘us, our and ANZ’ refer
to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited
ABN 11 005 357 522.
READ YOUR PRODUCT TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
You should read all relevant terms and conditions you have
received and ask us about any issues that concern you.
If you have any questions or need more information about any
ANZ account, ask at any ANZ branch or phone our Contact
Centre. Or, for information on ANZ V2 PLUS accounts, phone the
ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre. If you want to know more about
ANZ Plus products and services, please visit anz.com/plus
APPLYING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you are opening a new account, these terms and conditions
will apply immediately.
Other terms and conditions, including those implied by law,
also apply. To the extent permitted by law, these terms and
conditions shall prevail in the event of any inconsistency.
If the law implies terms and conditions which cannot be
excluded, our liability under those implied terms and conditions
will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You are deemed to accept these terms and conditions on the
earlier of the date on which you first use your account or the
date on which you otherwise accept these terms and conditions
in a manner advised by us from time to time.
BANKING CODE OF PRACTICE
If you are an individual or a small business (as defined in the
Banking Code of Practice) ANZ is bound by the Banking Code of
Practice when it provides its products and services to you.
The Banking Code of Practice means the relevant version of
the industry code published from time to time by the Australian
Banking Association as it applies to ANZ.
NOT INDEPENDENT
ANZ cannot refer to itself as ‘independent’, ‘impartial’ or
‘unbiased’ in relation to personal advice it provides because:
ANZ is the issuer of some of the financial products it advises on;
ANZ advisers can only advise on products and services
approved by ANZ (which includes products issued by ANZ); and
ANZ may receive remuneration from product issuers in
respect of some products or services.

SECTION 1 HOW TO OPEN AN
ANZ ACCOUNT
There are specific terms and conditions for opening an ANZ V2
PLUS account or ANZ Online Saver account. These are set out
in section 6 and apply along with the conditions set out in this
section 1.
Our credit approval criteria also apply in relation to opening an
ANZ Equity Manager account. Those criteria must be satisfied, in
addition to the conditions set out in this section 1.
1.1 IDENTIFICATION
Under Federal law, we must verify the identity of all account
holders, and anyone authorised to act for them. For us to do this,
account holders and anyone authorised to act for them must
satisfactorily meet our Customer Identification Process.
You can do this by producing acceptable documents which
establish your identity. One of the documents must include your
photograph or signature. If you want more information on the
documents you can use as proof of your identity, please ask a
member of staff at any ANZ branch.
Alternatively, you may have your identity verified electronically.
If you would like to be identified electronically and you satisfy
the eligibility criteria for electronic identification, you will need
to provide us with personal information to assist us with the
verification of your identity using electronic data sources. This
information may include your Medicare or Passport details.
To obtain information on the accounts on which you can be
verified electronically, call us on 13 33 33. For information on
the eligibility criteria for electronic verification, please visit
www.anz.com/identityconditions
If you, or signatories to the account, are not identified in terms
of the law, the account will be blocked for all withdrawals and/
or deposits (or all withdrawals and/or deposits by the relevant
signatories) until the requirements are satisfied.
If you want to open an account and you have completed the
identification process with us previously, you will need to tell us
the account number of your existing ANZ account.
1.2 TAX FILE NUMBER
Federal law stipulates that all accounts earning deposit interest
are subject to Tax File Number (TFN) legislation. It is not
compulsory for you to provide your TFN. However, if you choose
not to do so, we must deduct withholding tax from the interest
earned, unless you are in an exempt withholding tax category. If
you are in an exempt category, you should tell us.
9
Withholding tax is generally calculated at the highest marginal
tax rate plus applicable Commonwealth tax levies, including the
Medicare Levy.
In accordance with the Privacy Act, we will keep your TFN, which
we can keep a record of for all your accounts, confidential.
1.3 GOVERNMENT CHARGES
Any Government charges or duties you must pay for using the
account will be taken straight from your account and shown on
your account statement.
These charges may vary according to State or Territory.
With ANZ V2 PLUS accounts, Government charges will be
deducted every three months from the account balance or
any interest.
For more information on any applicable Government charges,
call into any ANZ branch or phone our Contact Centre. Or, for
ANZ V2 PLUS account holders, you can phone the ANZ V2 PLUS
Service Centre.
1.4 JOINT ACCOUNTS
If your account is held jointly with at least one other person, the
following will apply.
We may give any statement, notice or other document
(including a statement of account, a notice about your
account or notice of a change to the terms and conditions
of your account) to the holders of a joint account by giving
the document to any one of the joint account holders in any
manner allowed under these terms and conditions (in which
case we will be deemed to have given the document to all
joint account holders);
If an account holder dies, we may in our discretion treat
the balance of the account as owned by any surviving
account holder(s).
1.5 TRUST ACCOUNTS
Trust accounts can be opened on request in the following ways.
Where one or more persons open an account in which they
are named as trustee for another person(s). For example a
trustee account held by parents for children
By trustees under a will
By trustees for clubs and other organisations
By trustees of a Self Managed Superannuation Fund.
1.6 LAWFUL PURPOSE
You must not use the account for any unlawful purpose,
including the purchase of goods or services prohibited by the
laws of the jurisdiction you are in.
10
SECTION 2 USING AN ANZ
ACCOUNT
2.1 AUTHORITY TO USE AN ACCOUNT
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts and ANZ Online Saver accounts have
specific terms and conditions for authorising other people to use
the account on your behalf. Please see section 6 for details.
Unless section 6 says otherwise, when you open your ANZ
account, you specify who is authorised to use the account. If
you want to change the details of the people authorised to use
the account you must tell us in writing. Except where expressly
provided, we can act at all times on the basis that the authorised
operator or operators can act fully and effectively in all dealings
relating to the account.
If anyone has access or authorisation to ANZ Internet Banking or
ANZ Mobile Banking in respect of an account, that person may
access account statements, notices and other documents that
were delivered through that platform before they were given
access rights to that account on ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ
Mobile Banking.
You are responsible to us for all liability that arises as a result of
operations on the account. If you have a joint account, each joint
account holder is jointly and severally responsible to us for any
liability. To avoid doubt, you are responsible for:
the transactions of each authorised person;
ensuring the conduct of each authorised person complies
with these terms and conditions and ANZ’s terms and
conditions applicable to any means of operating your account
used by an authorised person including ANZ Mobile Banking
or any application or a digital wallet; and
each authorised persons registration for, and use of, any
means of operating your account including ANZ Mobile
Banking or any application or digital wallet, including
responsibility for ensuring no other person can access any
SMS sent to the authorised person.
You must ensure that each authorised person receives a copy of
these terms and conditions. You must require each authorised
person to notify you immediately upon the authorised person
acquiring another means of operating your account, such as
ANZ Mobile Banking or any application or digital wallet. You
must ensure that you read and understand ANZ’s terms and
conditions applicable to such other means of operating the
account acquired by an authorised person.
In this clause 2.1 ‘authorised person means an authorised
representative, authorised third party signatory or any other
person authorised by you to use the account.
11
For the purposes of these terms and conditions, ANZ Mobile
Banking’ means the ANZ App or any ANZ mobile banking
application that succeeds or replaces that application (other than
the ANZ Plus App).
2.2 DEPOSITS
ANZ Term Deposits, ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposits, ANZ
V2 PLUS accounts and ANZ Online Saver accounts have specific
terms and conditions for depositing money. Please see section
6 for details.
Unless section 6 says otherwise, you may deposit amounts into
your account in the following ways.
By depositing cash or a cheque over the counter at any
ANZ branch
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by depositing
cash or a cheque at any ANZ ATM that accepts such deposits
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by transferring
funds from another of your ANZ accounts using ANZ Phone
Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking (if this
funds transfer functionality is available on your version of ANZ
Mobile Banking), or (where you have an ANZ card to which
both accounts are linked) using the card (either in physical
form or via a digital wallet) at any ANZ ATM in Australia
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by arranging
another electronic transfer from another of your accounts with
us, or another persons account with us
By arranging a periodical payment from another of your
accounts with us, or another persons account with us
By arranging an electronic transfer from your account with
another financial institution
By arranging an electronic transfer from another persons
account with another financial institution (e.g. by arranging to
have your salary or other income (such as a family allowance
or pension) paid directly to your account)
By depositing cash over the counter at another financial
institution (the other financial institution may charge a fee for
this service)
In any other way we allow
In processing deposits to your account, we will rely on your
account number only. We will not check the account name
received with the deposit instructions.
2.2A ANZ ACCESS CARD*
How you can use an ANZ Access card
We may, subject to our eligibility criteria being met, issue any
account holder, or any person authorised by any account holder,
*ANZ is phasing out ANZ Access Cards and they will generally not be issued from
29 June 2024.
12
with an ANZ Access card to give access to an account held by
the account holder.
We may, subject to our eligibility criteria being met, permit
the holder of an ANZ Access card to link that card so as to give
access to an eligible additional ANZ account on which the
holder of the card is authorised to operate.
We may from time to time allow your ANZ Access card to be
used via a digital wallet. A digital wallet is a mobile application
(for example, on a smartphone or wearable device) that allows
details of an eligible card to be added so that the application can
be used in place of the physical card at EFTPOS terminals (as well
as at ATMs in the case of ANZ Access Visa Debit cards).
When you use your ANZ Access card at an ATM in Australia, you
can usually choose to withdraw funds from your linked accounts
by selecting ‘SAV’ (‘savings’) or by selecting ‘CHQ’ (‘cheque’).
Similarly, when you use your physical ANZ Access card at an
EFTPOS terminal (other than a contactless EFTPOS terminal) in
Australia, you can usually choose to withdraw funds from your
linked accounts by selecting eftpos SAV or ‘SAV (‘savings’), or
eftpos CHQ or ‘CHQ (‘cheque’).
Where you have more than one account linked to an ANZ
Access card, you may select which account is linked to the
eftpos SAV or ‘SAV (‘savings’) and eftpos CHQ or ‘CHQ (‘cheque’)
at ATMs and EFTPOS terminals. If you do not make such a
selection, we will do so for you.
One of your linked accounts will also be treated as your default
account. Again, you may nominate your default account, and we
will nominate the default account if you do not do so. You can
find out which is the nominated default account or change the
nominated default account by calling our Contact Centre.
The nominated default account will always be debited when
you present your physical ANZ Access card at a contactless
EFTPOS terminal (if your card has a chip). The same applies
when you present your ANZ Access card via a digital wallet at a
contactless EFTPOS terminal, unless the digital wallet itself allows
you to select which account will be debited, in which case that
account selection will apply.
Refer also to section 3 in relation to the use of your ANZ Access
card at international ATMs.
Card validity and expiry
For security reasons, the physical ANZ Access card must be
signed immediately by the person in whose name it has been
issued and must only be used within the ‘valid from’ and ‘until end’
dates printed on the card. Further, you must ensure that when
an ANZ Access card expires it is destroyed, by cutting it in half
diagonally, making sure you cut through any chip on the card.
13
2.3 ANZ ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD
How you can use an ANZ Access Visa Debit card
We may, subject to our eligibility criteria being met, issue any
account holder, or any person authorised by any account holder,
with an ANZ Access Visa Debit card to give access to one of the
following accounts held by the account holder (referred to as
the ‘nominated account’):
ANZ Access Advantage
ANZ One
ANZ Pensioner Advantage
ANZ Access Basic
Other products as ANZ may make available.
We may, subject to our eligibility criteria being met, permit the
holder of an ANZ Access Visa Debit card to link that card so as
to give access to an additional ANZ account, as a secondary
account on which the holder of the card is authorised to
operate. Certain types of accounts (including ANZ Passbook
Savings accounts, ANZ Term Deposits, ANZ Advance Notice Term
Deposits and ANZ Online Saver accounts) are not able to be
linked to an ANZ Access Visa Debit card as a secondary account.
We may from time to time allow your ANZ Access Visa Debit card to
be used via a digital wallet (refer to section 2.2A for further details).
When using your ANZ Access Visa Debit card (either in physical
form or via a digital wallet), your nominated account will always
be debited when you:
select ‘CR’ (‘credit’) or Visa Debit at an EFTPOS terminal;
present your physical ANZ Access Visa Debit card at a
contactless EFTPOS terminal;
present your ANZ Access Visa Debit card via a digital wallet at
a contactless EFTPOS terminal (unless the digital wallet itself
allows you to select which account will be debited, and you
have selected eftpos CHQ’ or ‘CHQ’ (‘cheque’));
use the 16 digit ANZ Access Visa Debit card number to
purchase or pay for goods or services; or
permit a Visa Direct enabled merchant or other person to use
your ANZ Access Visa Debit card number to originate an AFT
(where available).
Each of these uses of your ANZ Access Visa Debit card (other
than where you or the merchant effectively choose to process
the transaction through the EFTPOS network rather than the Visa
network), together with any other transaction made using your ANZ
Access Visa Debit card that is processed through the Visa network,
is referred to in these terms and conditions as a Visa enabled
transaction.
You may also be able to access your nominated account using
your ANZ Access Visa Debit card (either in physical form or via
14
a digital wallet) by selecting eftpos SAV or ‘SAV (‘savings’) at an
ATM or EFTPOS terminal.
If you have a secondary account linked to your ANZ Access Visa
Debit card, you may be able to access that account at an ATM or
EFTPOS terminal by selecting eftpos CHQ’ or ‘CHQ (‘cheque’) at
the ATM or terminal or via a digital wallet.
ANZ Access Visa Debit card acceptance
An ANZ Access Visa Debit card will normally be accepted by
financial institutions and merchants displaying the Visa card
symbol. However, Visa card promotional material displayed on any
premises cannot be taken as a warranty by the financial institution,
merchant or any person carrying on business there that all goods
and services available at those premises may be purchased
with the Visa card, or that cash withdrawals may be available. In
Australia, where the particular financial institution, merchant or
other person carrying on business does not accept Visa cards, they
may still allow goods and services to be purchased with the ANZ
Access Visa Debit card at an EFTPOS terminal by selecting eftpos
SAV or ‘SAV’ (‘savings’) or eftpos CHQ or ‘CHQ (‘cheque’) at the
terminal or via a digital wallet to access funds in a linked account.
The price a merchant charges for goods and services purchased
with an ANZ Access Visa Debit card may be different from the
price a merchant charges for the same goods and services
purchased with cash.
Unless required to do so by law we do not accept any liability:
if any financial institution or merchant displaying a Visa symbol
refuses to accept or honour an ANZ Access Visa Debit card; or
for goods or services purchased with an ANZ Access Visa
Debit card.
If you have any complaints about goods or services purchased
with an ANZ Access Visa Debit card you must resolve the
complaint directly with the merchant concerned.
Card validity and expiry
For security reasons, the physical ANZ Access Visa Debit card must
be signed immediately by the person in whose name it has been
issued and must only be used within the ‘valid from’ and ‘until end’
dates printed on the card. Further, you must ensure that when an
ANZ Access Visa Debit card expires it is destroyed, by cutting it in
half diagonally, making sure you cut through any chip on the card.
Card Controls
ANZ may make certain Card Controls available for use from time
to time.
ANZ may publish guidelines on anz.com from time to time
outlining the Card Control(s) that are currently available for
relevant cards and the types of transactions which may be
15
blocked or which ANZ may refuse to process when the relevant
Card Control(s) is applied.
In this clause, ‘Card Controls’ means a function that ANZ may make
available for use in connection with an ANZ Access Visa Debit card
as may be described on anz.com, which when applied, may block
or cause ANZ to refuse to process a certain transaction(s) or type
of transaction(s) on the ANZ Access Visa Debit card or the account
(as applicable) the Card Control is applied to.
2.4 CHEQUES
Cheque books are generally only available for accounts opened
prior to 16 June 2024 which had a cheque book issued prior to
that date.
How long does it take for a cheque to clear?
You should allow three to seven business days for a cheque that
you deposit to your account to clear.
We may allow you to draw on the cheque before it has cleared.
However, if this would mean that your account would be
overdrawn, we will generally only allow the drawing if there
is available credit under any formal overdraft facilities or other
formal credit facilities applicable to your account. We may also
(but we do not have to) provide you with an informal overdraft
for the overdrawn amount. See section 2.19 for further details.
What if a cheque that you have drawn on or that is
deposited to your account is dishonoured?
Where a cheque that you have drawn on your account is
dishonoured, we may charge you a Dishonour Fee.
Where a cheque that is deposited to your account is
dishonoured, we will take the amount of the cheque from your
account (to the extent it has been credited to your account).
What happens to an original cheque that is drawn on us
once it has cleared?
We will destroy the original cheque but keep a copy of it for:
13 months if the cheque is for less than $200; or
seven years if the cheque is for $200 or more.
When might a cheque be dishonoured or
payment refused?
We may dishonour a cheque or refuse payment for the
following reasons:
there is not enough money in the payer’s account;
the cheque has not been signed;
the cheque is more than 15 months old;
the cheque has a future date on it;
the cheque has been altered in a material way and the
alteration has not been signed;
16
law prevents the cheque from being paid;
the cheque has been stopped; or
the payer’s bank has been notified that the account holder is
unable to manage their own affairs, is bankrupt or has died.
What if a cheque or my cheque book is lost or stolen?
You should keep your cheques and cheque book safe at all times.
If a cheque is lost or stolen, you must do the following.
If a cheque made payable to you is lost or stolen, you must tell
the person who wrote the cheque
If a cheque you have written is lost or stolen, you must ask us
to stop the cheque and you must tell the person to whom the
cheque is payable
If your ANZ cheque book is lost or stolen, tell us to put a stop
on the cheques in that cheque book. If you then find the
cheques, you cannot use them until you have given us written
authorisation.
If you don’t tell us, as soon as possible, that your cheque book
has been lost or stolen, you may be liable for transactions
incurred by you before you notify us, even if they are made
without your authority.
‘Crossed’ cheques
A cheque with two parallel lines across it is a crossed cheque’.
A crossed cheque must be paid into an account with a bank or
other financial institution. It cannot be cashed.
‘Not Negotiable’ cheques
If the words ‘Not Negotiable’ are written between the two
parallel lines on a crossed cheque, this protects the true owner
of a cheque that is lost or stolen by making sure that the
recipient of a cheque obtains no better rights to the cheque
than the person who passed the cheque.
For example, if your cheque has been stolen and the thief
passes it on to an innocent person, you will be able to recover
the amount paid on your cheque from the innocent person (or
the thief if they are found). This is because the thief had no
right to the cheque and so passed no rights to it on to the
innocent person.
Account payee only
If you write these words on a cheque, you are directing the bank
collecting the cheque to pay the cheque into the account of the
person named on the cheque only.
‘Or bearer’ and or order’
If the words or bearer’ are on a cheque, a bank may pay the
cheque to anyone who has it, not only the person it is made
payable to. If you delete these words, the cheque becomes an or
order’ cheque.
17
With an or order cheque, if the payee wants to transfer it to
another person, they must first sign the back of the cheque.
Cashing a cheque
If you, as the drawer, want to cash a crossed’ or ‘Not Negotiable’
cheque at your branch, always write ‘Please pay cash instead of
a name at the top of the cheque, and sign in full underneath
(do not just write your initials). You also need to sign in full in the
space for your signature.
If you want to cash a cheque at another branch, you will need to
provide two forms of identification:
one form must be photo ID, such as your drivers licence
one can be your ANZ card linked to your account.
Cheques made payable to someone else
If you try to pay in or cash a cheque that is, or appears to be,
made payable to, or belong to, someone else, we may refuse
to accept that cheque, refuse to cash that cheque or set some
conditions that you must meet before we accept it.
Stopping a cheque
You can stop a cheque that you have written by telling us:
the amount of the cheque;
the cheque number and the date on it; and
who the cheque is made payable to.
If you have lost a cheque you received from someone else, tell
that person so they can stop the cheque.
Tips for cheque security
Don’t leave gaps between words
When writing out the amount in words, start as close as
possible to the left-hand side and write only at the end of the
amount
When writing out the amount in figures, start as close as
possible to the dollar sign
Never write out a cheque in pencil, or in ink that can be erased
(rubbed out)
Do not sign a cheque until it is all filled out
Always write the amount in words as well as figures
Check your bank statements regularly to make sure the
amounts taken from your account agree with the amounts
shown on the cheque book stubs.
Bank cheques
Bank cheques are cheques instructing payment from the bank
itself rather than from a customer’s account.
As an ANZ account holder, you can buy a bank cheque for a fee.
We can dishonour a bank cheque if:
the bank cheque is forged or counterfeit;
18
the bank cheque has been altered;
fraud or another crime has been committed;
we have been told that the bank cheque has been lost or
stolen;
there is a court order restraining us from paying a bank
cheque;
we have not received the fee or value for the bank cheque; or
the bank cheque is presented by a person who is not entitled
to the cheque proceeds.
If a bank cheque we have issued is lost or stolen, we will, in
certain circumstances, provide a replacement cheque for a fee.
2.5 SPECIAL CLEARANCE OF FUNDS
Special clearance of cheques that are deposited into your
account are no longer available.
2.6 WITHDRAWING OR TRANSFERRING
MONEY
ANZ Term Deposits, ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposits, ANZ
V2 PLUS accounts and ANZ Online Saver accounts have specific
terms and conditions for withdrawing or transferring money.
Please see section 6 for details.
Unless noted otherwise, you may withdraw or transfer money
from your account, as long as enough funds are available, in the
following ways.
By withdrawing cash over the counter at any ANZ branch
By cheque, if you have a cheque book for your account
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by transferring
funds to another account with us or another financial
institution, or making a BPAY® Payment, via ANZ Internet
Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking (if this funds transfer
functionality is available on your version of ANZ Mobile
Banking), including by arranging a recurring payment, or a
PayTo payment (where eligible) (see section 2.7)
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by transferring
funds to a linked account, or making a BPAY® Payment, via
ANZ Phone Banking;
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) by arranging
a direct debit or periodical payment (see section 2.7) or other
electronic transfer to another account with us or another
financial institution
For an ANZ Passbook Savings account, by arranging a
periodical payment (see section 2.7) to another of your eligible
accounts with us
19
(Except for an ANZ Passbook Savings account) if you have an
ANZ card linked to your account, by using the card (either in
physical form or via a digital wallet):
to withdraw cash at an ATM;
(where the other account is also linked to the card) to
transfer funds to another ANZ account at an ANZ ATM in
Australia;
to make a cash withdrawal or purchase via EFTPOS where
permitted by the operator of the terminal; or
to initiate an AFT through a Visa Direct enabled merchant or
other person (where available).
In any other way we allow.
If you have an ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card
linked to your account you can authorise transactions in the
following ways (as applicable).
By using your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit
card, alone or together with your PIN and either in physical
form or via a digital wallet, in conjunction with any electronic
equipment or terminal (including a contactless EFTPOS
terminal)
By presenting your ANZ Access Visa Debit card to a merchant
and signing a voucher or other documentation acceptable to
us authorising the transaction
By giving the ANZ Access Visa Debit card details to a merchant
or to any other party to whom payment is to be made, either
directly or through a third party, in a manner acceptable to us,
for example, over the phone or online
By arranging an electronic debit on your ANZ Access
Visa Debit card by providing a standing authority to have
payments made directly from your linked nominated account.
You can authorise a transaction made using your ANZ Access Visa
Debit card for either a particular amount or for particular goods
or services. For example, if you hire a car, you may authorise a
transaction for both the rental and any additional costs, such as
the cost of any damage to the vehicle.
When you authorise a transaction made using your ANZ Access
card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card:
you are confirming the validity of the amount of the
transaction, that is, the transaction correctly represents the
purchase price of the goods or services obtained, or the
amount of the cash withdrawal; and
the account holder is agreeing to pay (in Australian dollars)
the amount of that transaction.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information you
have provided to ANZ to facilitate a withdrawal or transfer
is correct. For instance, where applicable ANZ will rely in the
20
account number and branch number (BSB) you provide in your
instruction to process a transfer to another account or another
financial institution (including direct debit, recurring payment
and periodical payment). ANZ will not check that the details
provided by you are correct or that the account name matches
the account number.
If we allow you to make withdrawals in other ways, we can set
further terms and conditions for those withdrawals. If you want
to make a withdrawal at an ANZ branch that is not the one your
account is held at, we may set a limit on the amount you can
withdraw each day. We may also otherwise impose limits on the
amount of cash withdrawals that may be made over the counter
at any ANZ branch. Please ask at the branch or call our Contact
Centre for details of any limits that apply.
If a withdrawal would mean that your account would be
overdrawn, we will generally only allow the withdrawal if there
is available credit under any formal overdraft facilities or other
formal credit facilities applicable to your account. We may also
(but we do not have to) provide you with an informal overdraft
amount. See section 2.19 for further details.
You may have to pay a Dishonour Fee if you authorise a
person or company to take a direct debit from your account
and we cannot make the payment to them because there are
insufficient cleared funds available in your account. As noted
above, you may also have to pay a Dishonour Fee where a
cheque that you have drawn on your account is dishonoured.
You may have to pay a Periodical Payment Non-Payment Fee if
you have authorised a periodical payment that we cannot pay
from your account because there are insufficient cleared funds
available in your account.
2.6A OTHER WAYS YOU CAN TRANSACT
Despite any other provision in these terms and conditions, we
may permit you to make deposits to or withdrawals from your
ANZ account at an agent, contractor or service provider of us.
Where such deposits or withdrawals are permitted by us, the time
for processing the relevant credits or debits to your account may
vary. We reserve the right to restrict the amount, or the amount of
each denomination, of any deposits or withdrawals that may be
made at an agent, contractor or service provider, without notice
where we consider that it is in our legitimate interests to do so.
For example, we may do so where we consider this necessary to
protect us or you from suffering financial loss (e.g. as a result of
suspected fraudulent activity on the account). Any transaction
limits that would otherwise apply are subject to our rights to take
these actions. Details of any processing times and limits may be
published on www.anz.com.au/ways-to-bank/
21
2.7 DIRECT DEBITS, RECURRING PAYMENTS
AND PERIODICAL PAYMENTS
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts have specific terms and conditions relating
to direct debits, recurring payments and periodical payments.
Please see section 6.9 for details.
Please see section 8 for details about PayTo Payment Agreements.
A direct debit is a payment that you have authorised a merchant to
collect from your ANZ account and that you arrange through the
merchant by providing your account number and branch number
(BSB) (not your 16 digit ANZ Access Visa Debit card number).
A recurring payment is a payment that you have arranged via
ANZ Internet Banking to be paid on a repeating basis from your
ANZ account.
A periodical payment is a payment (other than a recurring
payment) that you have arranged with us to be paid on a
repeating basis from your ANZ account by reference to your
account number and branch number (BSB) (not your 16 digit ANZ
Access Visa Debit card number). You may establish a periodical
payment facility at an ANZ branch, by contacting our Contact
Centre or by any other means that we allow.
If you have established a recurring payment facility, you may use
ANZ Internet Banking to stop or change a recurring payment on
the facility, or cancel the facility, at any time before the relevant
recurring payment is made.
If you have established a periodical payment facility, you can tell us
to stop or change a periodical payment on the facility, or cancel the
facility, by contacting our Contact Centre or visiting an ANZ branch,
at least two business days before the relevant periodical payment
is due to be made. If you phone us, we may ask you to send us
written confirmation of your instruction before implementing it.
In certain cases we may be able to block a particular direct debit,
or direct debits by a particular merchant, at your request, provided
the request is made at least two business days before the
payment is due to be made.
You may notify us of your request to block a direct debit by
contacting our Contact Centre or by visiting an ANZ branch. If you
phone us, we may ask you to send us written confirmation of your
instruction before implementing it.
Blocking one or more direct debits may cause the merchant
concerned to stop providing the relevant goods and services
or may result in liability for you under any contract between
you and the merchant. You should make alternative payment
arrangements with the merchant if necessary.
22
For the purposes of these terms and conditions, a business day’
means a day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or an Australian
national public holiday.
2.8 AUTHORISATIONS FOR TRANSACTIONS
MADE USING AN ANZ ACCESS VISA
DEBIT CARD
When you use your ANZ Access Visa Debit card for a Visa enabled
transaction at an EFTPOS terminal or by using the 16 digit ANZ
Access Visa Debit card number to purchase or pay for goods or
services, or to permit a Visa Direct enabled merchant or other
person to complete an AFT (where available), the merchant
or other person involved in the transaction may obtain an
authorisation for the transaction before the transaction is made.
This authorisation is for the purpose of establishing that there
are sufficient funds available in the account for the transaction.
This authorisation may be completed for a transaction that
occurs at a later time such as car hire, accommodation and
transactions at unmanned terminals (for example, unmanned
petrol stations).
An authorisation may reduce the amount of available funds
in the linked nominated account (and the Transaction may be
shown as ‘pending’). If the purchase or other transaction is not
completed, the amount of available funds in the account may
continue to be reduced for a period of time, usually for around
six business days.
2.9 STANDING AUTHORITIES SET UP USING
YOUR ANZ ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD NUMBER
You can, at any time, provide a standing authority to a merchant
to transact on your linked nominated account, by providing your
16 digit ANZ Access Visa Debit card number.
To cancel such a standing authority, you must notify the
merchant in writing before the next transaction is due to be
processed. The period of notice required will be determined
by the relevant merchant. As a standing authority involves an
agreement between you and the relevant merchant, we are not
able to cancel a standing authority on your behalf. Further, unlike
direct debits set up using your account number and branch
number (BSB), we are not able to block a future payment made
pursuant to a standing authority. Until you cancel the standing
authority, the merchant is entitled to request us to debit the
account and we are obliged to process any request.
If the merchant does not comply with your request to cancel
the standing authority, you must send us a copy of your
correspondence with the merchant to enable us to dispute
the relevant transaction(s) on your behalf according to the
procedure in sections 2.10 and 2.11 below.
23
In some circumstances, if your ANZ Access Visa Debit card
number changes (for example, if your account is closed or your
ANZ Access Visa Debit card is lost or stolen), or your ANZ Access
Visa Debit card is cancelled, and you don’t provide alternative
payment details (for example, your new ANZ Access Visa Debit
card number) to the merchant, we may stop processing the
transactions, after giving notice to the merchant, and this may
cause the merchant to stop providing the goods and services.
In some cases, an existing standing authority may automatically
continue even if your ANZ Access Visa Debit Card details have
changed (for example, when you are issued with a replacement
card, we may provide your updated ANZ Access Visa Debit card
details to Visa for merchants to access and use). This means that
some merchants may use your updated ANZ Access Visa Debit
Card details without you directly giving those details to them.
If you do not want that to happen, you can opt out of these
automatic updates at any time by contacting ANZ, or you can
cancel the standing authority.
2.10 REVERSING A TRANSACTION MADE
USING YOUR ANZ ACCESS CARD OR ANZ
ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD
Where you have used your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa
Debit Card to purchase goods or services, or to complete an AFT
(where available), you may be entitled to reverse (chargeback)
the transaction where you have a dispute with the merchant. For
example, you may be entitled to reverse a transaction where the
merchant has not provided you with the goods or service you
paid for or has not completed an AFT.
You must notify us promptly if you believe you are entitled to
reverse a transaction. If it is determined that you are entitled to
reverse a transaction, we will credit your account for the amount
initially debited for the transaction.
You can also dispute any transaction that you did not authorise.
Please see section 8, Electronic Banking Conditions of Use, for
details of when ANZ will be liable for unauthorised transactions.
2.11 TIME LIMITS FOR REVERSING A
TRANSACTION MADE USING YOUR ANZ
ACCESS CARD OR ANZ ACCESS VISA
DEBIT CARD
It is your responsibility to review carefully your statements
of account. You should notify us immediately of a disputed
transaction made using your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access
Visa Debit card.
Scheme operating rules impose time limits for raising a dispute.
Generally under these scheme rules ANZ must lodge a fully
detailed claim on your behalf within 120 days. For transactions
24
executed using the EFTPOS system (which will include all ANZ
Access card transactions and may include some ANZ Access
Visa Debit card transactions), longer time limits may apply.
We recommend that you raise your dispute with us as soon
as possible, so that we have sufficient time to get all of the
information and documents ready to lodge a claim within the
time limit. If you do not notify us of your disputed transaction
and provide us with all necessary details in time for ANZ to meet
this deadline, ANZ may not be able to assist you in having the
disputed transaction reversed.
If you’re disputing a transaction on the basis that you did not
authorise the transaction, then your dispute will usually be
governed by the ePayments Code and the time limits within
the card scheme operating rules may not apply. However,
you should still let us know about your dispute as soon as you
can. If you unreasonably delay in reporting an unauthorised
transaction, this may affect ANZ’s liability for any losses resulting
from the transaction.
2.12 VISA SECURE AND EFTPOS SECURE
TRANSACTIONS
You are not able to reverse a transaction made using your ANZ
Access Visa Debit card that is authenticated using Visa Secure or
eftpos Secure unless we are liable as provided in your Electronic
Banking Conditions of Use.
2.13 WHEN A VISA ENABLED TRANSACTION
MADE USING YOUR ANZ ACCESS VISA DEBIT
CARD WILL BE APPLIED TO THE ACCOUNT
All transactions made using your ANZ Access Visa Debit card
(except for transactions made at an EFTPOS terminal or using your
card via a digital wallet, which are not Visa enabled transactions)
will be processed to the account on the date they are received
by us and are effective as at the date of the transaction (or, if later,
the date assigned to the transaction by the financial institution
that initially processed the transaction). The date that we receive
a transaction for processing may not be the date the transaction
was made or that has been assigned to it. We may be provided
with information concerning a transaction made using your ANZ
Access Visa Debit card number (excluding transactions made at
an EFTPOS terminal or using your card via a digital wallet, which
are not Visa enabled transactions), for example mail or online
purchases, a number of days after the transaction was made or
initially processed.
25
2.14 PROCESSING OF WITHDRAWALS AND
DEPOSITS GENERALLY
The date on which withdrawals and deposits are applied to your
account may differ, depending on the nature of the withdrawal or
deposit. Deposits and other credits (including credits for returns
of purchased goods) will not be treated as made until the date on
which those deposits or other credits are applied to your account
in the ordinary course of business (referred to as the effective
date’). Generally, deposits and withdrawals will be applied to your
account (i.e. ‘be effective’) on the date of processing but, in some
cases, they may be applied as at a different date.
Generally, and except as otherwise noted in these terms and
conditions (including in section 2.13), the rules below will apply.
Any withdrawal or deposit made via an ANZ ATM in Australia
(excluding cheque deposit transactions), ANZ EFTPOS, ANZ
Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking
will be applied to your account effective on the date on which it
is made, provided the transaction is made before the following
times, as relevant:
9.45pm Melbourne time for ANZ ATMs in Australia (excluding
cash deposits and transfers between ANZ accounts (for which
there is no cut-off time) and cheque deposit transactions); and
9.30pm Melbourne time for ANZ EFTPOS transactions (unless
the relevant merchant elects an earlier cut-off time).
Any relevant transaction made after the applicable time may be
applied to your account effective on the following day. However,
in the case of ANZ V2 PLUS accounts, any relevant transaction
that occurs after the applicable time, or that occurs on a non-
business day, will be processed and applied to your account
on the next business day. However, a withdrawal will generally
reduce the amount of available funds in the account on the day
it is made, even if it is only processed or effective on a later date.
Withdrawals conducted via another financial institution
(including via a non-ANZ ATM or non-ANZ EFTPOS terminal) will
be processed and applied to your account in accordance with
the cut-off time agreed between us and that financial institution
(or their representative), and may be different to the above. The
date on which withdrawals conducted at ANZ ATMs outside of
Australia will be processed and applied to your account may be
different to the above.
If a recurring payment or periodical payment is due to be paid
on a non-business day, the payment will be made on the next
business day, unless you ask us to make the payment on a later
business day.
Cheque deposits made at an ANZ ATM will usually take up to
seven business days to be applied to your account (and will
26
be subject to the terms and conditions applying to cheques
referred to in section 2.4).
If you make a deposit at another bank or financial institution,
there may be a delay of several days before that amount is
applied to your account.
You should note that the effective date at which a payment from
your account is applied to your account may be different from
the date on which it is processed as a payment to the payee.
Generally, and except as otherwise noted in these terms and
conditions, any payment made via an ANZ ATM, ANZ EFTPOS,
ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile
Banking will be processed as a payment to the payee on the
date on which it is made, provided the transaction is made
before the following times, as relevant:
the times listed above on a business day for ANZ ATMs and
ANZ EFTPOS;
the following times on a business day for funds transfers made
via ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile
Banking:
- 8pm Melbourne time for funds transfers to a non-ANZ
account in Australia (i.e. Pay Anyone payments);
- 9.30pm Melbourne time for international money transfers;
- 10.30pm Melbourne time for funds transfers to a linked ANZ
credit card account; and
- 6pm Melbourne time on a business day when making a
BPAY® Payment.
Any relevant payment made after the applicable time on a
business day, or at any time on a non-business day, may not be
processed by us as a payment to the payee until the following
business day.
If we receive a message through the New Payments Platform
2
that a payment will be made to your account, we may credit the
amount of the payment to your account even if we have not
yet received the payment. If the payment is not received for any
reason, we will reverse the transaction by taking the amount
from your account.
If a payment from your account is eligible to be processed
through the New Payments Platform, including through Osko®
3
,
it may be processed as a payment to the payee in near real time,
including on a non-business day, and in that case will be applied
to your account effective on the date on which it is processed. In
the case of a recurring payment that is due to be paid on a
2
New Payments Platform means the new payments platform operated by NPP Australia
Limited.
3
Osko® means the Osko® payment service provided by BPAY Pty Ltd using the New
Payments Platform.
27
non-business day, this means that the payment will be made
on that day if processed in near real time through the New
Payments Platform.
If the New Payments Platform cannot be used for any reason,
we will try to make the relevant payment from your account
through other available payments systems, and the other terms
of this section 2.14 will generally apply. You should always allow
sufficient time for payments from your account to be received
by the payee if they cannot be made using the New Payments
Platform or Osko®.
2.14A ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR
ACCOUNT BALANCE
The date on which a transaction is processed to your account
may differ from the date on which the transaction occurred or is
regarded as effective. For example, where we are provided with
information concerning a purchase made using your account a
number of days after the purchase was made, we may treat the
transaction as being effective on the date on which it was made.
We may also subsequently adjust a debit or credit to your
account so as to accurately reflect our and your legal obligations
(for example, because of an error, a dishonour of a cheque or a
resolution against you of a dispute).
In both circumstances, we may make consequential adjustments
to the balance of your account, including with respect to accrued
interest or interest that has already been credited or debited to your
account. For example, we may debit your account to recover excess
interest credited to your account as a result of a transaction which
was effective before a particular interest payment date, but that was
processed to your account after that interest payment date.
We generally won’t make adjustments in respect of interest on your
account for a transaction which has an effective date more than 60
days prior to the date on which the transaction was processed.
2.15 PAYMENT PROCEDURES
The order in which we process transactions on a day may vary
from the order in which transactions are made on that day or
are received by us on that day. For example, we may process
transactions involving debits to your account before processing
transactions involving credits.
2.16 CHANGES WE CAN MAKE TO FEES,
CHARGES AND INTEREST
We may make changes to the terms and conditions of your
account relating to fees, charges and interest without your
agreement. The table sets out these changes and how and
when we will give you notice of them. In the table, a reference to
notice in writing is to notice by any notification method allowed
by these terms and conditions and a reference to notice by
28
press advertisement is to notice by advertisement in a national
newspaper or in two or more major metropolitan newspapers
that in combination circulate generally in each State and
Territory of Australia.

The rights mentioned above should be read as if they are each a
separate right even though they are set out in the one table.
Despite this clause:
we cannot change the rate of interest that applies to a term
deposit during the term of the term deposit (subject to any
adjustment for early withdrawals as described in clause 6.10); and
we will always give you notice of any change to the terms and
conditions of your account in accordance with any applicable
laws or industry codes (such as the Banking Code of Practice),
or any other terms and conditions applicable to your account,
which require any minimum notice periods or specific
methods of notification.
If you are unhappy with a proposed change to the terms and
conditions, you have the right to close your account in accordance
with the applicable terms and conditions in this booklet.
2.16A CHANGES WE CAN MAKE TO OTHER
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We may make the following changes to the terms and
conditions of your account without your agreement:
29
changes that ensure that the product is, or the terms of the
account are consistent with our business, communication,
technological or operational systems or processes;
changes to comply with, or reduce the risk of non-compliance
with any law, or decision, recommendation, regulatory
guidance or standard of any court, tribunal, ombudsman
service, regulator or any other similar body;
changes that are in our reasonable opinion, required or
appropriate to protect any person (including ANZ) from the
risk of fraud or illegal activity;
changes that enhance the security of our products or services;
changes that are administrative;
changes to simplify the terms of your account;
changes to correct a mistake, inconsistency or omission;
changes to reflect changes or improvements to the features of
the product or how it works;
to change, or as part of a process to, discontinue or replace
a product or migrate a product to a new system, and for this
purpose we may change your product to a different product
with similar features to the discontinued or replaced product,
or change your existing product;
changes that are beneficial to you;
changes that reflect current industry or market practice or
conditions or that we reasonably consider are appropriate
in light of changes to community standards or expectations
in respect of bank or environmental, social and governance
practices;
changes that in our reasonable opinion are reasonably
required to prudently manage a material credit, operational or
compliance risk; and
any other changes that are reasonably necessary to protect
our legitimate business interests.
We will give you reasonable notice of these changes. If we
reasonably consider a change is unfavourable to you, we will
give you prior notice of at least 30 days. We may give you a
shorter notice period, which may include notice on the day the
change takes effect if we reasonably consider:
the change has a positive or neutral effect on you; or
providing a shorter notice period is necessary for us to:
- avoid or reduce a material increase in our credit risk or loss; or
- comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
We may give you notice of the change by any notification
method allowed by these terms and conditions or by
advertisement in a national newspaper or in two or more
major metropolitan newspapers that in combination circulate
generally in each State and Territory of Australia.
30
Despite this clause, we will always give you notice in accordance
with any applicable laws or industry codes (such as the Banking
Code of Practice), or any other terms and conditions applicable
to your account, which require any minimum notice periods or
specific methods of notification.
If you are unhappy with a proposed change to the terms and
conditions, you have the right to close your account in accordance
with the applicable terms and conditions in this booklet.
2.17 INTEREST RATES
You can generally get details of current interest rates:
by phoning the Rate Inquiry Line using the contact details at
the back of this booklet;
at any ANZ branch; or
by visiting our website at www.anz.com
2.18 WORKING OUT THE INTEREST WE PAY
For ANZ Online Saver accounts, ANZ Equity Manager accounts,
ANZ Passbook Savings accounts, ANZ Progress Saver accounts,
ANZ Premium Cash Management Accounts, ANZ SMSF Cash Hub
accounts, ANZ Pensioner Advantage accounts and ANZ V2 PLUS
accounts we will work out the credit interest that accrues on the
positive balance of your account at the end of each day, in the
manner set out below. This should be read together with section 6,
which contains further detail regarding how we work out interest
(including bonus interest in the case of ANZ Progress Saver accounts)
on some of the different types of accounts referred to above.
ANZ Term Deposits and ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposits have
specific terms relating to interest. These are set out in section 6.8.
We do not pay interest on account balances in ANZ One offset
accounts. See section 7 of this booklet for more information
on ANZ One offset accounts. We also do not pay interest
on account balances in ANZ Access Basic and ANZ Access
Advantage accounts.
Types of interest rates
Credit interest will accrue daily on the positive balance of your
account as at the end of the day at the applicable daily interest
rate, as explained below.
Unless sections 6 and 7 provide that a tiered interest rate or
banded interest rates apply to your account, credit interest on
your account will be calculated for a particular day by applying
a single annual interest rate, regardless of the balance of
your account.
A tiered interest rate means that the annual interest rate
applicable to your account for a particular day can vary
depending on the balance of your account on that day.
31
This means that the rate of interest applicable on the whole
balance of your account can be different depending upon the
balance of your account on a particular day.
For an account with banded interest rates, different annual
interest rates for a particular day can apply to different parts
of your account balance on that day. For example, the interest
that accrues on the part of your balance between $10,000 and
$20,000 can be different from the interest that accrues on the
first $9,999.99 of the balance.
In all cases, we will work out the interest that accrues on your
account for a particular day at a rate (or rates, as applicable)
equal to the applicable annual interest rate (or rates, as
applicable) divided by the number of days in that year (usually
365, but 366 in a leap year).
When interest is credited
Accrued interest will be credited to your account with the
frequency indicated in sections 6 and 7, or with such other
frequency as set out in the confirmation letter relating to the
opening of your account or subsequently agreed by you or
determined by us in accordance with section 2.16. The interest
that is credited to your account on a particular day will not
generally include the interest accrued in respect of that day.
Where an interest payment is scheduled to be credited on the
29th, 30th or 31st of a month which does not contain such a
date, it will, subject to the comments below, be credited on the
last day of that month.
Except in the case of ANZ Passbook Savings accounts (see section
6.7) and ANZ V2 PLUS accounts (see section 6.9), where an interest
payment is scheduled to be credited to your account on a non-
business day, it will generally be credited on the preceding business
day. The payment will exclude interest accruing in respect of that
preceding business day or any subsequent day. However, where that
preceding business day is not in the same calendar month as the
scheduled date, the interest payment will instead be credited to your
account on the next business day. The payment will relate to interest
accrued up to, but not including or following, the scheduled date.
The payment will be credited with effect from the scheduled date.
When you close your account, we will generally pay any
outstanding credit interest to you. We may also credit interest to
your account on any date on which we change the frequency
with which interest is credited to your account.
Except in the case of ANZ Passbook Savings accounts and ANZ
V2 PLUS accounts, you can choose to have your interest paid to
another eligible ANZ deposit account, rather than being credited
to the account on which the interest accrues. Unless you tell us
otherwise, we will pay any interest to the account on which the
interest accrues.
32
2.19 PROVIDING CREDIT
If your account is overdrawn for any reason and you do not have
available credit under any formal overdraft facilities or other
formal credit facilities applicable to your account then we may
(but we do not have to) provide you with an informal overdraft
facility for the overdrawn amount (the Informal Overdraft).
Specific terms and conditions apply in relation to overdrawing:
an ANZ SMSF Cash Hub account - refer to section 6.6 for
details; and
an ANZ Equity Manager account with a formal credit limit -
refer to our ‘Consumer Lending Terms and Conditions’ booklet.
In the case of ANZ Equity Manager accounts, this section only
applies to such accounts without a formal credit limit.
Debit interest charged
Debit interest will accrue daily on that part of the overdrawn
balance of your account that is referable to your Informal
Overdraft as at the end of the day at the applicable daily
interest rate.
Except in the case of ANZ Equity Manager accounts, the daily
interest rate applicable to your Informal Overdraft will be the
ANZ Retail Index Rate plus a margin (refer to the ANZ Personal
Banking Account Fees and Charges’ booklet for details), divided
by 365.
For an ANZ Equity Manager account, the daily interest rate
applicable to your Informal Overdraft will be the ANZ Equity
Manager Rate plus or minus any applicable margin, divided by
365. The applicable margin will be that, if any, disclosed in the
letter of offer for the account as being the margin that formed
part of the annual interest rate applicable to any credit provided
within the formal credit limit for the account (subject to any
subsequent amendment by ANZ in accordance with the terms
and conditions applicable to the account).
Accrued debit interest will be debited to your account monthly
from the date on which your account was opened or (in the
case of ANZ Online Saver accounts, ANZ Progress Saver accounts
and ANZ Premium Cash Management Accounts) on the last
business day of each month, or with such other frequency as
set out in the confirmation letter relating to the opening of your
account or subsequently agreed by you or determined by us in
accordance with section 2.16. The interest that is debited to your
account on a particular day will not generally include the debit
interest accrued in respect of that day.
Where an interest debit is scheduled to be debited on the 29th,
30th or 31st of a month which does not contain such a date, it
will, subject to the comments below, be debited on the last day
of that month.
33
Where an interest debit is scheduled to be made on a non-
business day, the debit will generally be made on the preceding
business day. The debit will exclude debit interest accruing in
respect of that preceding business day or any subsequent day.
However, where that preceding business day is not in the same
calendar month as the scheduled date, the interest debit will
instead be made to your account on the next business day. The
debit will relate to interest accrued up to, but not including or
following, the scheduled date. The debit will be made with effect
from the scheduled date.
Repayment
Where you have obtained an Informal Overdraft, you must repay
in full that part of the overdrawn balance of your account that is
referable to your Informal Overdraft (including as a result of any
subsequent Informal Overdrafts) by the day that is 30 days after
the day on which the Informal Overdraft was debited or treated
as being advanced to your account, or earlier upon demand by
us. The overdrawn amount may include any interest debited
to your account during the relevant period in relation to any
relevant Informal Overdraft.
General
Although we may consider providing an Informal Overdraft to
you in certain circumstances, we do not agree to provide any
credit in respect of your account without prior agreement.
If you want to avoid using an Informal Overdraft, you should ask
us about:
other products which might better suit your needs; or
other ways in which you can monitor the balance of
your account.
You should tell us as soon as possible if you are in financial difficulty.
2.20STATEMENTS

conditions relating to statements. Please see section 6 for details.

2.25 ACTING ON YOUR INSTRUCTIONS
We may decide not to act on instructions where we reasonably
consider or suspect those instructions either:
have not been authorised by the account holder(s) or are
otherwise fraudulent;
have been provided by mistake; or
contain material omissions or errors.
2.26 ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND
SANCTIONS
You agree that we may, without providing you with any notice
and without incurring any liability delay, block or refuse to
process any transaction, or close your account, if we reasonably
consider or suspect that processing the transaction or keeping
your account open:
may break any law or regulation in Australia or any
other country;
involves any person (natural, corporate or governmental)
that is itself sanctioned or is connected, directly or indirectly,
to any person that is sanctioned under economic and trade
sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the European Union
or any country;
may directly or indirectly involve the proceeds of, or be
applied for the purposes of, unlawful conduct; or
39
may be inconsistent with or prohibited by our anti-money
laundering and counter-terrorism financing or sanctions
policies. Such policies, which can change from time to time,
are designed to help ANZ comply with legal obligations and
to identify, manage and mitigate money laundering, terrorism
financing and sanctions risks. These policies cover matters
such as ANZ’s approach to:
1. customer due diligence;
2. monitoring transactions for indicators of unusual behaviour
and reporting suspicious activities to appropriate
authorities; and
3. transactions that may be connected, directly or indirectly,
with sanctioned parties, jurisdictions, products or sectors of
economies in certain jurisdictions.
A summary of our anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism
financing policy and our sanctions policy is available on anz.com
and includes, for example, a current list of relevant jurisdictions.
You must give us all the information we reasonably need to
manage anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing
and/or economic and trade sanctions risk or to comply with any
law in Australia or any other country. You agree that we may give
any information about you to:
any law enforcement, regulatory agency or court if we must do
this under any law or regulation in Australia or elsewhere; and
any correspondent (or agent) bank we use to make the payment
for the purpose of compliance with any law or regulation.
Unless you have told us that you are a trustee of the account or
are acting on behalf of someone else, you warrant that you are
acting on your own behalf in entering into this agreement.
You declare and undertake to us that the processing of any
transaction by us in accordance with your instructions will not
breach any law or regulation in Australia or any other country.
2.27 NO DEALING IN ACCOUNT
Your rights in respect of your account are personal to you, and
despite anything in these terms and conditions, a purported dealing
by you in relation to those rights (including by way of assignment,
transfer, mortgage, charge, security interest, declaration of trust or
otherwise) will not be effective to give anybody other than you any
right or interest in your account as against us.
2.28 LAW AND JURISDICTION
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the
State of Victoria. In relation to any proceedings about or in
connection with your account, we and you agree to submit to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts that have jurisdiction
under that law.
40
2.29 FINANCIAL ABUSE AND INAPPROPRIATE
BEHAVIOUR
If you are experiencing financial abuse and would like to discuss
your options with us, you can call ANZ using the contact details
at the end of this booklet (see section 9). ANZ also provides
information about financial abuse on anz.com
You must not use an account to engage in financial abuse or
unlawful behaviour, or use our services to engage in offensive,
threatening, defamatory, harassing or controlling behaviour.
These are examples of behaviour ANZ considers inappropriate.
ANZ has rights under the Electronic Banking Conditions of Use
(see section 8) to withdraw electronic access to accounts where
it suspects a person has engaged in inappropriate behaviour
(see Withdrawal of Electronic Access). We can also close an
account in certain circumstances if we think it has been used
inappropriately (see clause 4.3.1).
SECTION 3 ELECTRONIC
BANKING
3.1 ELECTRONIC BANKING
Please also see section 8 if you conduct electronic transactions
on your account.
Electronic banking is not available with all ANZ accounts. For
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts, this section applies to those accounts
with direct banking facilities only. For more information, ask at
any ANZ branch or phone our Contact Centre or, for ANZ V2
PLUS account holders, phone the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre.
3.2 EFTPOS
EFTPOS stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale.
This facility allows you to pay for goods and services with a card
linked to your account. Depending on the retailer, you may also be
able to use the card to withdraw cash using the EFTPOS terminal.
In the terms and conditions relating to your account, a reference
to EFTPOS is to any electronic funds transfer at point of sale facility
(whether or not operated by EFTPOS Payments Australia Ltd).
3.3 MAESTRO AND CIRRUS
Maestro® and Cirrus® are international EFTPOS and ATM
networks that allow you to access available funds in ANZ
accounts by using your ANZ Access card (excluding ANZ Access
Visa Debit) or linked ANZ MasterCard while overseas.
When you use your ANZ Access card or ANZ MasterCard card,
you can usually choose (in Australia) to withdraw funds from
either your linked savings or cheque account.
41
If you have both a savings account and a cheque account
linked to your ANZ MasterCard card, when you press debit, the
ATM will automatically make the withdrawal from your linked
savings account. If you have both a savings account and a
cheque account linked to your ANZ Access card, when you press
debit, the ATM will automatically make the withdrawal from
the nominated default savings or cheque account. If you have
not nominated a default account, we will nominate the default
account. You can find out which account is the nominated
default account or change the nominated default account by
calling our Contact Centre.
Some ATMs do not give you the option of choosing an account.
In this case, when you use your ANZ MasterCard card the ATM
will automatically take withdrawals from your ANZ MasterCard
credit card account as a cash advance. For these withdrawals
credit card fees and charges for cash advances will apply on top
of the usual fees and charges for using Maestro or Cirrus. When
you use your ANZ Access card, the ATM will automatically take
withdrawals from the nominated default savings or cheque
account. If you have not nominated a default account, we will
nominate the default account. You can find out which account
is the nominated default account or change the nominated
default account by calling our Contact Centre.
You cannot use your ANZ Access card or ANZ MasterCard card at
Cirrus ATMs overseas to pay money into your account or transfer
funds between linked accounts.
3.4 FEES AND CHARGES - MAESTRO AND CIRRUS
Transaction fees, overseas transaction fees, overseas ATM
transaction fees and non-ANZ ATM operator fees apply for the
use of Cirrus ATMs and Maestro EFTPOS overseas. If the amount
of the transaction is more than your available balance (including
any approved overdraft or credit limit) and we do not provide
the amount under the Informal Overdraft (refer to section 2.19
for details of the Informal Overdraft) or, in the case of ANZ V2
PLUS accounts, the transaction would reduce your balance to an
amount less than $5,000, the transaction may be rejected and
the fees referred to above will not be charged.
3.5 SURCHARGES - MAESTRO AND CIRRUS
You may have to pay a surcharge for making a withdrawal
from some ATMs overseas or for using some EFTPOS terminals
overseas. Surcharges will not appear as a separate item on your
account statement. They will be included in the total amount of
the withdrawal.
42
3.6 EXCHANGE RATES AND CONVERSION -
MAESTRO AND CIRRUS
All charges, purchases and cash advances will be processed through
MasterCard International Incorporated using the conversion rate
set in accordance with its rules as at the date those transactions are
processed by MasterCard International Incorporated.
This means that:
Transactions in United States dollars will be converted into
Australian dollars
Transactions in other currencies will first be converted
into United States dollars and then converted into
Australian dollars.
In most cases, the conversion rate applied to a refund of a
transaction will be different to the conversion rate used for the
original transaction.
3.7 PLUS
PLUS is an international ATM network that allows you to access
available funds in your accounts by using your ANZ Access Visa
Debit card or other linked ANZ Visa card while overseas.
When you use your ANZ Visa card (in Australia) you can usually
choose to withdraw money from either your linked savings or
cheque account.
If you have both a savings account and a cheque account linked
to your card, when you press debit the ATM will automatically
make the withdrawal from your linked savings account. If you
have an ANZ Access Visa Debit card, pressing credit will also select
your linked savings account.
Some ATMs do not give you the option of choosing your account.
In this case, when using an ANZ Access Visa Debit card the ATM
will automatically select credit’ and make the withdrawal from
your linked savings account. This transaction will debit your
nominated ANZ Access Visa Debit account. When using any other
ANZ Visa credit card the ATM will automatically select credit and
this will be treated as a cash advance from your ANZ Visa credit
card account. For these withdrawals, credit card fees and charges
for cash advances will apply on top of the usual fees and charges
for using PLUS.
You cannot use your ANZ Visa card at PLUS ATMs overseas to pay
money into your account or transfer funds between linked accounts.
3.8 FEES AND CHARGES - PLUS
Transaction fees, overseas transaction fees, overseas ATM
transaction fees and non-ANZ ATM operator fees apply for the
use of PLUS ATMs overseas. If the amount of the transaction
is more than your available balance (including any approved
overdraft or credit limit) and we do not provide the amount
43
under the Informal Overdraft (refer to section 2.19 for details of
the Informal Overdraft) or, in the case of ANZ V2 PLUS accounts,
the transaction would reduce your balance to an amount less
than $5,000, the transaction may be rejected and the fees
referred to above will not be charged.
3.9 SURCHARGES - PLUS
You may have to pay a surcharge for making a withdrawal from
some ATMs overseas. Surcharges will not appear as a separate
item on your account statement. They will be included in the
total amount of the withdrawal.
3.10 EXCHANGE RATES AND
CONVERSION - PLUS
All transactions in a currency other than Australian dollars will
be converted into Australian dollars by Visa International. Visa
International will determine the conversion process and rate or
rates used. In the case of a refund, the conversion rate or rates
used for a refund may be different to the conversion rate or rates
used for the original transaction.
3.11 DAILY WITHDRAWAL LIMIT
Unless you have made special arrangements with us for a
different limit, your combined ATM, EFTPOS, Maestro, Cirrus and
PLUS daily* cash withdrawal limit is AUD$1,000 per ANZ card.
This means you can use your ANZ card to withdraw a total of
AUD$1,000 cash each day from the accounts linked to the card
through ATMs and EFTPOS facilities, as long as the funds are
available in your accounts (or an overdraft facility or other credit
facility is available). In the event of a system failure, the daily cash
withdrawal limit is AUD$200.
Non cash transactions, including purchases made at an EFTPOS
terminal will not count towards your daily cash withdrawal limit.
Contactless transactions made at an EFTPOS terminal will not
count towards your daily cash withdrawal limit.
* A day begins at 12.00.00am (Melbourne time) and ends at 11.59.59pm (Melbourne time)
on the same day. If you are not in the same timezone as Melbourne, please check
www.australia.gov.au.
3.12 KEEPING YOUR ANZ ACCESS CARD, ANZ
ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD AND PIN SECURE
The security of your ANZ Access card and ANZ Access Visa
Debit card is very important. If you fail to observe the following
security requirements you may increase the account holders
liability for any unauthorised use of the ANZ Access card or ANZ
Access Visa Debit card.
In relation to your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit
card, you must:
sign the back of your card immediately upon receipt;
44
on the expiry date destroy your card by cutting it (including
any chip on the card) diagonally in half;
not let anyone else use your card;
take reasonable steps to protect your card from loss or theft;
and
notify us immediately if you become aware that your card
has been lost or stolen, or your card or account details (for
example, the number and expiry date of your ANZ Access Visa
Debit card) have been used by someone else without your
authority.
The Electronic Banking Conditions of Use in section 8 set out
additional security requirements in relation to electronic access
processes, including your ANZ Access card, ANZ Access Visa
Debit card and PIN.
3.13 WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR ANZ ACCESS
CARD OR ANZ ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD IS
LOST OR STOLEN?
The best way to notify us is to phone us on the numbers listed at
the back of this booklet.
Alternatively, or if our telephone reporting service is unavailable,
you should report the loss or theft to any ANZ branch or, in the
case of loss or theft of ANZ Access Visa Debit card overseas, to
any bank displaying the Visa card symbol. When a telephone
report is made, we will give you a notification number or some
other form of acknowledgement. You should retain this as
evidence of the time and date of your report.
If you report that an ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit
card has been lost or stolen, or the account details for an ANZ
Access Visa Debit card have been used by someone else without
your authority, the card will be cancelled as soon as the report
is made. This means that you must not use the card once the
report is made. For example, if you report your ANZ Access card
or ANZ Access Visa Debit card has been lost or stolen and you
find it after making the report, you must not use the card. The
card must be securely destroyed (including any chip).
We may issue you with a new ANZ Access card or ANZ Access
Visa Debit card.
These terms and conditions will apply to your replacement ANZ
Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card.
The account holder may be liable for transactions for which you
did not give authority (including, in the case of ANZ Access Visa
Debit cards, mail and telephone order transactions and internet
transactions) if they occur before the report relating to your ANZ
Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card is received by us, but
liability will not exceed $150. However, if you have contributed
45
to the loss by unreasonably delaying reporting to us the loss or
theft of your card or the unauthorised use of the account details
for an ANZ Access Visa Debit card, the account holder may
be liable for transactions for which you did not give authority
(including, in the case of ANZ Access Visa Debit cards, mail and
telephone order transactions and internet transactions) incurred
before the report is received by us.
This liability does not apply to transactions involving the use of
an electronic access process, including your card and PIN. You
should read the Electronic Banking Conditions of Use in section
8 to understand your liability in the event of unauthorised use of
an electronic access process, including your card and PIN.
3.14 LOST AND STOLEN CARD AND PIN -
WITHIN AUSTRALIA
If your card or PIN is lost or stolen, or if someone else has found
out your PIN, you must tell us as soon as possible. The best way
to minimise your liability is to phone us. Emergency phone
numbers are listed at the back of this booklet.
If you replace your card for an ANZ deposit account that your
ANZ Online Saver account is linked to, you will need to phone
our Contact Centre to have your ANZ Online Saver account
linked to your new card.
3.15 LOST AND STOLEN CARD AND PIN -
WHILE OVERSEAS
If your card or PIN is lost or stolen, or if someone else has found
out your PIN, you must tell us as soon as possible. The best way
to minimise your liability is to phone us. Emergency phone
numbers are listed at the back of this booklet.
ANZ Access card (ATM/EFTPOS card) - we cannot provide
an emergency replacement card and PIN until you return
to Australia
ANZ MasterCard and ANZ Visa cards (including ANZ Access
Visa Debit card) - we can provide an emergency replacement
card while you are overseas. However, you will not be able to
use it at EFTPOS terminals or ATMs until you have returned
to Australia and chosen a new PIN for the card. You may still
be able to make purchases and get cash advances (from your
ANZ credit card account) or withdraw cash (if you have an
ANZ Access Visa Debit card) over the counter at a financial
institution where the MasterCard or Visa logos are displayed.
46
SECTION 4 OTHER THINGS YOU
NEED TO KNOW
4.1 CHANGE OF NAME AND ADDRESS
You should immediately tell us about any changes to your
account details, including your name, bank account or address
(including an email address or mobile telephone number). We
will not be responsible for any mistakes or losses associated with
a change of details if we had not been told about the change.
You must ensure notifications are capable of being received and
retrieved at your contact addresses, including any nominated
email address or mobile telephone number.
4.2 OUR RIGHT TO COMBINE ACCOUNTS
Subject to compliance with the Banking Code of Practice, where
we reasonably consider that it is in our legitimate interests to
do so, we can combine the balances of two or more of your
accounts, without giving you notice, even if the accounts are in
joint names. For example, we may do this if one of your accounts
is overdrawn or otherwise in debit and another is in credit. We
can then use the balance of the account that is in credit to
repay the overdrawn or debit amount in the other account. If
we combine any of your accounts we will tell you about this as
quickly as possible. We do not need to notify you in advance.
You should not treat your accounts as combined unless we have
agreed to such an arrangement.
4.3 CLOSING OR BLOCKING ACCESS TO
YOUR ANZ ACCOUNT
4.3.1 Closing your ANZ account
ANZ Online Saver accounts have specific terms and conditions
relating to closing accounts. Please see section 6 for details.
You or any other person authorised to close your account can
ask us to close it at any time at an ANZ branch or by contacting
our Contact Centre.
If your account is in credit when we close it, we will pay you
the balance, including any accrued credit interest, less any
fees and charges that apply. Periodical fees may apply even
if the account has been open for only part of a period. If any
amounts deposited to your account have not cleared at the
time you ask us to close the account, we will keep the account
open until those deposits have cleared or until the deposits are
dishonoured or refused. At this time we will close the account
and pay you any credit balance.
If your account is in debit, you must pay, or make arrangements
satisfactory to us for the payment of, the outstanding balance
plus any accrued debit interest, fees and other charges
47
(including contingent fees and charges) that apply at the time,
before we will close your account.
When you close the account you must return any unused
passbooks or cheque books which operate the account. An
account with cheque access may only be closed once all
outstanding cheques have been presented. We reserve the
right to return any cheques we have been asked to pay after
the account has been closed. For any electronic cards which
operate the account, the card must be securely destroyed
(including any chip).
Subject to these requirements, ANZ will not unreasonably delay
in closing your account following your request that we do so.
When your account is overdrawn or has nothing in it, and you
have not used your account, for more than three months
If your account is overdrawn for more than three months, or your
account has nothing in it and you have not made any payments
into or out of it for more than three months, we may, where we
reasonably consider that it is in our legitimate business interests
to do so, close your account. If we intend to close your account
on this basis, we will use reasonable endeavours to give you
prior notice.
Other times when we may close your account
In addition to the circumstances referred to in section 2.22, we
may close your account if we, acting reasonably, consider that
you have not used it appropriately or for any other reason we,
acting reasonably, consider appropriate. If we intend to close your
account on this basis, we will give you notice in writing. However,
we will not give you prior notice before closing your account if we
consider that immediate closure is necessary to protect us or you
from suffering financial loss (for example, as a result of suspected
fraudulent activity on the account). When the account is closed,
we will send you the net credit balance of the account by way of a
cheque or by any other method we consider appropriate.
Reopening of account
An account that has been closed may be reopened where a
deferred transaction (such as a transaction made pursuant to an
authorisation described in section 2.8 given prior to the account
being closed) is subsequently processed to the account.
4.3.2 Blocking access to your ANZ account
We reserve the right to restrict the amount, or the amount of
each denomination, of any deposits that may be made to your
account, to block access to your account, and prevent all or
specific transactions from being processed to your account,
without notice where we consider that it is in our legitimate
interests to do so. For example, we may do so where we consider
this necessary to protect us or you from suffering financial loss
(e.g. as a result of suspected fraudulent activity on the account).
48
Any transaction limits that would otherwise apply are subject to
our rights to take these actions. Please ask at the branch or call
our Contact Centre (or for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts, call our ANZ V2
PLUS Service Centre) for details of any limits that apply.
4.3.3 General
ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card and closing or
blocking access to your account
If you hold an ANZ Access card and either you or we close your
linked nominated default account, the ANZ Access card may be
cancelled prior to the linked nominated default account being
closed. We may also cancel the ANZ Access card where we block
access to your linked nominated default account.
If you hold an ANZ Access Visa Debit card and either you or we
close your linked nominated account, the ANZ Access Visa Debit
card will be cancelled prior to the linked nominated account
being closed. We may also cancel the ANZ Access Visa Debit card
where we block access to your linked nominated account.
4.3A CANCELLATION OF AN ANZ ACCESS
CARD OR ANZ ACCESS VISA DEBIT CARD
When we may cancel, suspend, block, limit or change your
card or card linkages
For the purposes of this clause, a reference to card linkage’ means
the link that enables you to use the ANZ Access card or the ANZ
Access Visa Debit card to access an ANZ account or product.
Different types of access apply depending on the linkage.
(a) Without limiting any of our rights under these terms and
conditions, we may cancel, suspend, block, change or limit
any ANZ Access card and ANZ Access Visa Debit card or any
card linkages:
(i) Without notice (unless required by law), where:
- all of the accounts which the card may access have
been closed; or
- we reasonably consider that immediate cancellation,
suspension, block, change or limit (as applicable)
is necessary to protect us, the card holder or the
account holder from suffering financial loss.
ii) With reasonable notice of at least 30 days, where we
reasonably consider it is in our legitimate business
interests to do so. For example, we may do this as part of
a process to discontinue, replace or migrate certain card
types or to reflect changes in our business processes or
systems.
(b) An account holder may cancel an ANZ Access card or ANZ
Access Visa Debit card on their account at any time by
notifying us. A card holder may cancel their ANZ Access card
49
or ANZ Access Visa Debit card at any time by notifying us.
ANZ may require written confirmation.
What happens when your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa
Debit card is cancelled
ANZ Access cards and ANZ Access Visa Debit cards remain our
property at all times.
When we cancel an ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card,
or receive instructions to cancel an ANZ Access card or ANZ Access
Visa Debit card, the card must not be used and must be securely
destroyed (including any chip).
The account holder:
is responsible for the use of any ANZ Access card(s) and ANZ
Access Visa Debit card(s) and of the account until all cards are
returned to us cut diagonally in half (including any chip on the
card) or until the account holder has taken all steps to return
the card(s) to us; and
is responsible for any transactions debited to the account
in accordance with any standing authority or any other
authorised link to the account from an ANZ credit card, an
ANZ Access card or ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking
or ANZ Mobile Banking until the authority is cancelled in
accordance with these terms and conditions.
Any standing authority given by you to other parties such as
monthly debits for life insurance must be cancelled directly by you
with the other party. You should provide new payment details to
the party if you want to continue to make payment this way.
If ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card is cancelled
under these terms and conditions:
(a) you will no longer be able to access any linked accounts or
products with that ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit
card; and
b) if you use the card number as your CRN, you may no longer
be able to use your CRN to access electronic channels,
including ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking, ANZ
Internet Banking for Business or ANZ Mobile Banking.
If your card or card linkage is cancelled, you can contact our
Contact Centre to make alternative arrangements.

of account, a notice about your account or notice of a change to
the terms and conditions of your account) to you in connection
with your account personally, or by sending it by mail or, unless

4.7 ANZ ACCESS CARD* AND ANZ

At any time, we may issue a new ANZ Access card or ANZ Access
Visa Debit card to you, provided the account holder has not
previously requested us to revoke this authority. If your ANZ

51
damaged, you may order a replacement card at any ANZ branch

such ANZ Access cards and ANZ Access Visa Debit cards are issued
subject to these terms and conditions. We reserve the right not
to reissue an ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card to you.

If your ANZ Access card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card contains
a chip, you must ensure that it is protected at all times from
misuse (including tampering), damage, destruction or any form

Government’s Financial Claims Scheme. Payments under
the Financial Claims Scheme are subject to a limit for each
depositor. Information about the Financial Claims Scheme can

SECTION 5 BANK FEES AND
CHARGES
All ANZ accounts have specific account related fees and charges.
Other general fees and charges may also apply to your account
for other services or account activity. On some accounts we offer
fee-free everyday banking under certain conditions. We may also
decide not to charge fees under certain conditions.
If we fail to collect a fee to which we are entitled, this does not
remove our right to collect the fee at a later date, or for future
transactions of the same nature.
We may allow you to elect that certain fees and charges be
debited to an alternative eligible nominated ANZ account. A
reference in the terms and conditions for your account to a fee
or charge being debited to your account includes a reference to
the fee or charge being debited to your alternative nominated
account, unless the context requires otherwise. You authorise
us to debit your account or alternative nominated account (as
applicable) with all relevant fees and charges.
For more information, including information about:
specific account fees and charges (including the number of
free transactions each month and specific fees);
when we would not charge a fee; and
criteria for reduced fees,
52
see the ANZ Personal Banking Account Fees and Charges
booklet. Other general fees and charges may also apply to your
account for other services or account activity. For information
on those other fees and charges, see the ANZ Personal Banking
General Fees and Charges’ booklet.
You can get these booklets from any ANZ branch or online at
www.anz.com
SECTION 6 SPECIFIC TERMS AND
CONDITIONS FOR PERSONAL
BANKING ACCOUNTS
6.1 ANZ ACCESS ADVANTAGE ACCOUNT
Account opening
You may only open an ANZ Access Advantage account if you are
an individual and you use your account wholly and exclusively
for your private or domestic use.
Interest
We do not pay interest on ANZ Access Advantage accounts.
6.2 ANZ ACCESS BASIC ACCOUNT
Eligibility
You are eligible for an ANZ Access Basic account if any of the
following apply.
You hold one of the following cards:
- Seniors Concession card
- Pensioner Concession card
- Centrelink Health Care card
- Repatriation Health card (Department of Veterans Affairs); or
You provide us with your Centrelink or Veterans Affairs number;
or
You allow us to get confirmation from the relevant
Commonwealth agency (such as Centrelink or Veterans
Affairs) that you hold one of the cards listed above; or
ANZ determines in any other way that you are eligible for
the account.
If you stop meeting these conditions, you will no longer be
eligible for an ANZ Access Basic account.
If we think that you are no longer eligible, we will contact you
and give you at least 30 days to prove to us that you are still
eligible. If, within that 30 day period, you cannot show that you
are still eligible, we will treat your ANZ Access Basic account as
an ANZ Access Advantage account from the end of that period.
You cannot have more than one ANZ Access Basic account.
53
Interest
We do not pay interest on this account.
6.3 ANZ PENSIONER ADVANTAGE ACCOUNT
Special features
An ANZ Pensioner Advantage account is only available to
customers who receive an ongoing Australian Centrelink
pension or Australian Veterans’ Affairs pension or allowance
(following an assessment of their financial investments for
entitlement to the pension or allowance). Information about
eligible Australian pensions or allowances can be obtained from
relevant government body websites.
If the ANZ Pensioner Advantage account is in joint names,
both account holders must receive a qualifying pension or
allowance from Centrelink or the Australian Department
of Veterans Affairs. Generally you are limited to one ANZ
Pensioner Advantage account.
If you stop receiving the pension or allowance, you must tell us
immediately. In this case you will no longer be eligible for an
ANZ Pensioner Advantage account.
If we think that you are no longer eligible for the account, we will
contact you and give you at least 30 days to prove to us that you
are still eligible. If, within that 30 day period, you cannot show
that you are still eligible, we can refuse to pay any interest earned
on your account in that period or treat your ANZ Pensioner
Advantage account as an ANZ Access Advantage account from
the end of that period.
Interest
The credit interest rate is banded. Subject to section 2.18, we will
credit interest to your account every three months from the date
on which your account was opened.
6.4 ANZ PROGRESS SAVER ACCOUNT
Account opening and ongoing minimum balance
requirements
You may only open an ANZ Progress Saver account if you are an
individual and you use your account wholly and exclusively for
your private or domestic use.
Using the account
Subject to the comments below, you may make deposits to,
and withdrawals or transfers from, your account in the manner
described in sections 2.2 and 2.6.
You can choose to have full or partial access to your account
through an ATM.
If you choose partial access, you can only use an ATM to make
balance enquiries and cannot make withdrawals, deposits or
funds transfers at an ATM.
54
Interest
The account pays ‘base’ credit interest and, subject to eligibility,
bonus credit interest.
Subject to section 2.18, we will credit the base interest and,
if applicable, the bonus interest calculated in respect of each
calendar month to your account on the last business day of
that month.
The base interest rate is tiered.
Bonus interest will only be paid in respect of a particular calendar
month where both of the following eligibility criteria are met:
You have made at least one deposit of the set minimum amount
(currently $10) or more that has been processed to your account
on or before the last business day of that month, and after the
last business day of the previous month.
No withdrawals, fees or charges have been processed to your
account on or before the last business day of that month, and
after the last business day of the previous month.
See sections 2.13 to 2.14A for details regarding circumstances in
which there may be a difference between the processing and
effective dates for transactions on your account, and our right to
make an adjustment to your account balance in such circumstances.
An adjustment in respect of a particular transaction will be
calculated from the effective date of the transaction, unless the
effective date is earlier than the last business day of the month
prior to the month during which the transaction was processed, in
which case the adjustment will be calculated from that day.
Interest in respect of a particular calendar month will generally
be calculated on the basis of the period up to but not including
the last business day of that month, from and including the last
business day of the previous month.
So, while a deposit on the last business day of a particular month will
be taken into account in determining your eligibility for bonus interest
in respect of that month, the deposit will not form part of any balance
on which base or bonus interest is paid in respect of that month.
The method of calculating interest set out above means that, if
your account is opened on the last business day of a particular
calendar month, the first monthly interest payment for your
account will be the last business day of the next calendar month.
That first interest payment will comprise interest calculated from
and including the day your account was opened, up to but not
including the date of payment. In those circumstances, any
deposits, withdrawals, fees or charges processed to your account
on the day it is opened are not taken into account in determining
your eligibility for bonus interest in respect of your first monthly
interest payment.
55
When you close your account, this will count as a withdrawal and
you will not be eligible to receive bonus interest for the relevant
month.
If you wish to meet the minimum monthly deposit requirement
by way of a recurring payment or periodical payment, we
recommend you set up the deposit to occur at least a week
before the last business day of each calendar month.
Statements
We will send you a statement every six months. You can ask us if
you would like to receive statements more frequently (monthly
or quarterly).
You can also get information on your ANZ Progress Saver
account balance and transactions through ANZ Phone Banking,
ANZ Internet Banking and ANZ Mobile Banking.
6.5 ANZ PREMIUM CASH MANAGEMENT
ACCOUNT
Interest
The credit interest rate is tiered. Subject to section 2.18, we will credit
interest to your account on the last business day of every month.
6.6 ANZ SMSF CASH HUB ACCOUNT
(ONLY AVAILABLE TO SELF MANAGED
SUPERANNUATION FUNDS)
Account opening
You may only open this account if you are a trustee of an
Australian Self Managed Superannuation Fund registered with
the Australian Taxation Office.
Trustee obligations
It is the responsibility of the trustee(s) to comply with all
relevant obligations, including superannuation and tax laws. The
trustee(s) need to be aware of their obligations, including as they
relate to deposits and withdrawals from their SMSF Cash Hub
account. We recommend that you seek independent financial,
legal and taxation advice.
Interest
The credit interest rate is tiered. Subject to section 2.18, we
will credit interest to your account on the last business day of
every month.
Going overdrawn
As part of your ANZ SMSF Cash Hub account, transactions that
overdraw your account will be declined where possible.
However, in certain limited circumstances, your ANZ SMSF Cash
Hub account may become overdrawn.
You will not be charged debit interest on the overdrawn balance of
your account.
56
If your account does become overdrawn we will provide you with
an Informal Overdraft. See section 2.19 for further details on when
you must repay your Informal Overdraft.
6.7 ANZ PASSBOOK SAVINGS ACCOUNT
(ACCOUNT NOT AVAILABLE TO NEW
CUSTOMERS FROM 30 NOVEMBER 2013)
Using your passbook
We will give you a passbook as a record of the payments to and
from your account. You must use the passbook when you make
a withdrawal or deposit at an ANZ branch. Your passbook will
then be updated. Your passbook is an important document and
you should keep it in a safe place. Please contact us immediately
if your passbook is lost or stolen.
By applying for and accepting your ANZ Passbook Savings
account, you agree that:
you are responsible for having your passbook updated at
regular intervals; and
updates to your passbook confirm all transactions on your
account.
You can only make payments into your passbook account:
by direct credit (an arrangement to have your salary, pension,
benefits or other regular amount paid directly to the account);
at an ANZ branch;
by transfer from another financial institution; or
by arranging a periodical payment from another of your
accounts with us, or another persons account with us.
You can only make withdrawals at ANZ branches or by arranging
a periodical payment to another of your eligible accounts with us
or in any other way we allow. To help us check your identity when
you make withdrawals, you can have a ‘blacklight’ record of your
signature in the back of your passbook.
Certain ANZ branches, known as cashless’ or ‘sales only’ branches, are
not able to process deposits to, or withdrawals from, your passbook
account. To identify those branches, use ‘Find a branch/ATM’ on
www.anz.com, enquire at any branch or call our Contact Centre.
Interest
The credit interest rate is tiered. Subject to section 2.18, we will
credit interest to your account every three months from the date
on which your account was opened.
Where an interest payment is scheduled to be credited to your
account on a non-business day, it will generally be credited on
the preceding business day. However, where that preceding
business day is not in the same calendar month as the scheduled
date, the interest payment will instead be credited to your
account on the next business day. In each case, the payment will
57
relate to interest accrued (or expected to accrue) up to, but not
including or following, the scheduled date. The payment will also
be credited with effect from the scheduled date.
6.8 ANZ TERM DEPOSIT AND ANZ ADVANCE
NOTICE TERM DEPOSIT
ANZ offers two types of personal term deposits:
ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposits; and
ANZ Term Deposits.
The principal difference between the two (apart from the credit
interest rate that applies) is that you must provide 31 days notice
to ANZ if you wish to make an early withdrawal of funds from
an ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit account. Further details
are set out below under the heading ‘Early withdrawals from an
ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit account.
If you may need in the future to immediately withdraw funds
from your term deposit account, other deposit products may be
more suitable for you than an ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit.
We may waive minimum amounts (including minimum deposit,
reinvestment and withdrawal amounts) referred to in this section
6.8 in some circumstances.
Establishing and reinvesting in an ANZ term deposit
You can establish a term deposit:
by depositing cash or a cheque over the counter at any
ANZ branch;
by requesting a transfer of funds from another of your ANZ
accounts via ANZ Internet Banking or over the phone; or
in any other way we allow.
You must deposit at least $5,000 to establish a term deposit.
When establishing a term deposit, we will normally ask you what
you want to do with the funds in your term deposit account when
the term ends. You may elect either to have those funds paid to you,
or to reinvest those funds in another ANZ term deposit. You may
make the same election, or instead different elections, in relation to
payments of principal and payments of interest upon maturity.
Your instructions will apply with respect to both your original
term deposit and, if applicable, any further term deposit arising
as a result of the reinvestment of funds upon maturity of your
original term deposit.
If you have instructed us to reinvest funds upon maturity of a
term deposit, you can amend those instructions at any time up
until the end of the seven day period beginning immediately
after the maturity date of the maturing term deposit. The
maturity date is the last day of the term of that deposit.
58
You may also amend the instructions so that the amount of the
term deposit, or any unpaid interest on the term deposit, or
both, are paid to you. Before the expiry of the seven day period
you may amend your instructions by varying the reinvestment
term, the amount that you want to reinvest (as long as the
change to the amount to be reinvested is at least $1,000 and
the amount to be reinvested remains at least $5,000), the type
of ANZ term deposit in which you want to reinvest, or the
frequency of interest payments for the new term deposit. The
applicable interest rate will be determined by reference to the
applicable amendments.
You can amend your instructions in person at any ANZ branch,
via ANZ Internet Banking or in any other way we allow.
If you have provided instructions to reinvest funds upon maturity
of a term deposit, and you change your instructions during the
seven day period beginning immediately after the maturity date
of the deposit, that change in instructions will not be treated as an
early withdrawal’ from the new deposit. Accordingly, you will not
need to provide advance notice to us in respect of the withdrawal
(in the case of an ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit only), there
will be no reduction to the interest in respect of the withdrawn
funds and no administration fee will be charged.
If you have not provided relevant instructions prior to maturity
of your ANZ term deposit, we will reinvest the relevant funds in
a new ANZ term deposit of the same term and with the same
frequency of interest payments.
Where funds are reinvested upon maturity of a term deposit, the
interest rate that will apply to the new term deposit will be (unless
otherwise agreed with us) that advertised at the beginning of the
seven day period referred to above, for ANZ term deposits of the
relevant type, term and amount and with the same frequency of
interest payments (in each case, having regard to any changes
to your instructions regarding the new term deposit during that
seven day period). This may be higher or lower than the interest
rate that applies to your maturing term deposit. You can contact
us after the maturity date of your maturing term deposit to
confirm the applicable interest rate.
Payments in relation to an ANZ term deposit account
All payments from, or relating to, a term deposit account
(including interest payments, and the funds paid to you upon
maturity or as a result of an early withdrawal) will be made, at
your election, either by bank cheque, by the crediting of another
eligible ANZ account, or in any other way we allow. Note that we
may charge a fee when you elect to receive a payment by bank
cheque. Please see section 5 for details about fees and charges
that may apply.
59
When opening a term deposit account, we will normally ask you
how you wish payments to be made. You may make the same
election, or instead different elections, in relation to payments
of principal and payments of interest. You can change your
elections at any time in person at any ANZ branch, by using
ANZ Internet Banking or in any other way we allow. We may take
one or more business days to process a change of election.
Where funds are not reinvested upon maturity of a term deposit,
they will be paid to you on or before the maturity date (or, where
that is a non-business day, on or before the next business day).
Term and interest
ANZ term deposits can be invested for a range of terms of between
one month and five years. In the case of term deposits of $100,000
or more (or such other amount as we may decide), we may agree
to a shorter term (no less than seven days) or a longer term.
When you establish a term deposit, you must choose how often
you want to receive your interest, as this will affect the interest rate
that you earn. You cannot change the interest payment frequency
during the term of your term deposit.
For term deposits of less than 12 months, interest is ordinarily paid
upon maturity. We may also offer monthly, quarterly or half yearly
interest payment options on selected terms of less than 12 months.
For term deposits of 12 months or more, interest may be paid
monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly, with an additional final
interest payment upon maturity, if applicable.
If you have elected to receive more frequent interest payments
and your final scheduled interest payment date does not align
with the maturity date, we may make the final scheduled interest
payment upon maturity (along with any additional final interest
payment payable upon maturity) instead of the scheduled interest
payment date.
An interest payment made on a particular day will not generally
include the interest accrued in respect of that day.
The above investment terms and interest payment arrangements
apply to term deposits applied for at an ANZ branch. Not all
investment terms and interest payment options may be available
for term deposits applied for online or over the phone. Please
contact us for details.
Credit interest will accrue daily on the principal balance of a term
deposit account as at the end of each day of the term, including
the first day of the term but excluding the maturity date, at the
applicable daily interest rate, as explained below. Interest is not
compounded (that is, it is not added to the principal closing
balance of the account and is therefore not taken into account
when calculating further interest on the account).
60
Where an interest payment is scheduled to be made on the 29th,
30th or 31st of a month which does not contain such a date, it
will, subject to the comments below, be made on the last day of
that month.
Where an interest payment is scheduled to be made to you on a
non-business day, it will instead be made on or before the next
business day. The payment will relate to interest accrued up to, but
not including or following, the scheduled date.
The rate of interest is fixed for the term of your term deposit
(subject to any adjustments for early withdrawals). We will tell
you the annual interest rate for the particular term that you have
chosen when you establish a term deposit (and, if applicable, after
a maturing term deposit is reinvested in a new term deposit).
ANZ will calculate the interest that accrues on your term deposit
account for a particular day at a rate equal to the applicable
annual interest rate divided by 365.
For example, if you invest $50,000 for one month at a rate of 4.4%
p.a., the interest you will earn is as follows:
1. Divide the interest rate by 365 to get the daily interest rate
4.40% ÷ 365 = 0.0120547%.
2. Multiply the daily interest rate by $50,000 to get the interest
that you earn each day 0.0120547% x $50,000 = $6.02735.
3. Multiply the daily interest earned by the number of days in the
term (which includes the first day of the term but excludes the
maturity date) to find the interest that will be earned for the
term of the deposit
6.02735 x 31 = $186.85 (rounded to two decimal places).
Note that the calculation above is intended as a guide only, and
may vary slightly from your actual interest earned due to the
rounding used in the example.
Any interest that is to be paid upon maturity of a term deposit
can be reinvested together with the term deposit. Or, if the
interest amount is more than $5,000, you can reinvest it in a
separate term deposit.
Early withdrawals from an ANZ Advance Notice Term
Deposit account
You may make a request to withdraw all or part of the funds
in your ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit account prior to
maturity in the manner discussed under the heading ‘Early
withdrawals generally below.
Where you make a valid withdrawal request, we will provide the
relevant funds to you on or before the 31st day after the request (or,
where that is a non-business day, on or before the next business
day), in accordance with your prevailing payment arrangements.
61
If you make a request to withdraw funds from your ANZ Advance
Notice Term Deposit account less than 31 days prior to the
maturity date of the term deposit, we will not be obliged to pay
the funds to you any earlier than the maturity date.
Only one early withdrawal request can operate in respect of your
ANZ Advance Notice Term Deposit account at any one time. You
cannot change an early withdrawal request, but you may cancel
the request (in person at any ANZ branch or in any other way we
allow) at any time up to two business days prior to the day on
which the early withdrawal payment is due to be made.
If you are suffering financial hardship, please contact ANZ
to discuss whether funds may be withdrawn from your ANZ
Advance Notice Term Deposit account on shorter notice.
Fees and interest – consequences of early withdrawals
generally
If you want to withdraw all or part of the funds in your term
deposit account before the maturity date, you must make
a request to us in person at any ANZ branch, by using ANZ
Internet Banking or in any other way we allow.
Except where all of the funds in your term deposit account are
withdrawn, the minimum amount of a withdrawal is $1,000. In
addition, you may only make a partial withdrawal of funds from a
term deposit account if the amount remaining after the withdrawal
would be at least $5,000.
If you make an early withdrawal from a term deposit account
(except after the death of an account holder), an administration
fee of $30 will be charged and we will reduce the interest in
respect of the withdrawn funds based on the percentage of the
original term that has elapsed, as shown below.
Percentage of term elapsed In
terest reduction
0 to less than 20% 90%
20% to less than 40% 80%
40% to less than 60% 60%
60% to less than 80% 40%
80% to less than 100% 20%
Example for a 5% p.a. one-year term deposit of $10,000, where
the entire account balance was withdrawn after 9 months:
1. Divide the original interest rate by 365 to get the daily interest
rate 5% ÷ 365 = 0.0136986%
2. Multiply this by the amount of the term deposit to get the
interest earned each day
$10,000 x 0.0136986% = $1.36986
62
3. Multiply this by the number of days for which the funds were
deposited
$1.36986 x 274 days = $375.34
4. Find the percentage of the original term that has elapsed
274/365 (days) = 0.75 (75%)
As 75% of the original term has passed, the interest will be
reduced by 40%. Multiply the interest earned by 40% (0.40) to
get the reduction
$375.34 x 0.40 (40%) = $150.13
5. Take the interest reduction from the interest earned to find
out the interest that you receive
$375.34 - $150.13 = $225.21
You receive $225.21 in interest.
In the case of a partial early withdrawal, any amount to be
deducted will first be applied against interest accrued but
not yet paid. If the amount exceeds such accrued interest, the
balance will be applied against the principal balance of the term
deposit account.
Note that the calculation above is intended as a guide only, and
may vary slightly from your actual interest earned due to the
rounding used in the example.
6.9 ANZ V2 PLUS ACCOUNT
(ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH APPROVED
ANZ INTERMEDIARIES SINCE 29 SEPTEMBER
2012)
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts are available with or without direct
banking facilities. Direct banking facilities give you access to
your ANZ V2 PLUS account electronically - at ATMs, by EFTPOS,
and via ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking and ANZ
Mobile Banking - as well as being able to carry out transactions
at ANZ branches or through the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre.
ANZ V2 PLUS without direct banking facilities generally only
allows withdrawals to be made through the ANZ V2 PLUS
Service Centre, and certain restrictions apply to the way in which
deposits can be made to the accounts.
Contact details for the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre appear at the
back of this booklet. Certain telephone details for the Service
Centre differ depending on whether an ANZ V2 PLUS account
was opened directly with ANZ or instead through an approved
ANZ intermediary.
Who can open an account?
You can open an ANZ V2 PLUS account through an approved
ANZ intermediary if you are:
an individual who is 18 or over;
63
a company;
a partnership;
an unincorporated association; or
a trustee.
If the ANZ V2 PLUS account is for anyone under 18, the account
must be in the parent’s or guardians name.
How to open an account
The minimum deposit needed to open an ANZ V2 PLUS
account is $5,000. You can pay this in cash at any ANZ branch,
by cheque (crossed and Not Negotiable) made payable to you
and delivered at any ANZ branch, by arranging an electronic
transfer from another financial institution or by using ANZ
Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking to
transfer funds from another ANZ account.
Deposits
After an account has been opened, you can make
further deposits:
by depositing cash over the counter at any ANZ branch;
by sending a cheque to the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre;
in the case of ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking
facilities, by depositing cash at any ANZ ATM that accepts such
deposits;
by transferring funds from another of your ANZ accounts
using ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ
Mobile Banking (if this funds transfer functionality is available
on your version of ANZ Mobile Banking) or (in the case of ANZ
V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities, and where you
have an ANZ card to which both accounts are linked) at any
ANZ ATM in Australia;
by arranging a periodical payment or other electronic transfer
from another of your accounts with us or another financial
institution;
by arranging an electronic transfer from another person’s
account with us or another financial institution (e.g. by
arranging to have your salary or other income (such as family
allowance and pensions) paid directly to your account); or
in any other way we allow.
In processing deposits to your account, we will rely on your
account number only. We will not check the account name
received with the deposit instructions.
Any deposits received from overseas in Australian dollars will
take up to 30 days to clear.
Appointing an authorised representative
An ‘authorised representative’ is any company, partnership or
individual you appoint to access your ANZ V2 PLUS account.
64
To appoint an authorised representative you will need to provide
a signed authority in a manner approved by us.
Under Federal law, we must verify the identity of all account
holders and people authorised to use accounts.
If an authorised representative is not identified in terms of the law,
the account will be blocked for all withdrawals and/or deposits by
the authorised representative until the requirements are satisfied.
At any time you can tell us that you no longer want us to let
the authorised representative deal with your account. However, this
instruction will not be effective until we acknowledge it in writing.
Withdrawing or transferring money
Requests by phone or in writing
As long as enough funds are available, you can withdraw funds
from your ANZ V2 PLUS account in the form of a bank cheque, by
transferring funds to another account with us or another financial
institution or by any other method we allow, in each case by
posting or faxing a request with the required signatures to the
ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre, or by any other method we allow.
If you have requested and we have approved telephone
withdrawal facilities for your account, you may also make a
request to withdraw funds in those ways by phone to the ANZ
V2 PLUS Service Centre.
If the account you want funds transferred to is with another
financial institution, it may take longer than 24 hours.
If you ask for a cheque to be made payable to someone else, you
can stop the cheque by posting or faxing a request to the ANZ
V2 PLUS Service Centre.
Relevant taxes, duties and charges will be taken off the amount
of the withdrawal.
Minimum withdrawal
In the case of ANZ V2 PLUS accounts opened directly with ANZ
(and not through an approved ANZ intermediary), the minimum
amount you can withdraw through the ANZ V2 PLUS Service
Centre is $500.
Access to funds
The ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre will take reasonable steps to
make sure that you receive withdrawals within the specified
time, but will not be responsible for delays which are beyond
its control.
Although funds deposited to your account can be transferred
on the same day as the deposit is effective, they may not
immediately appear as part of your balance. In this situation the
bank officers will contact the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre for
confirmation of the funds.
65
Same day withdrawals can be made (as long as cleared funds
are available) if the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre receives your
withdrawal request before 11am Melbourne time for a transfer
to an account which has previously been validly nominated
as an account to which funds may be transferred from your
V2 PLUS account, or before 1pm Melbourne time for any other
withdrawal.
Where your request is received after these times, or on a day
when the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre or we are closed for
business, the payment will be made on the next business day.
The amount of the withdrawal will continue to form part of the
balance of your account, in respect of which interest accrues,
until the time the withdrawal is processed.
Withdrawing by periodical payment or direct debit
For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities or if
we otherwise allow, you can also make withdrawals, as long as
enough funds are available, by arranging a periodical payment,
direct debit or PayTo payment from your ANZ V2 PLUS account
to another account with us or another financial institution.
Only some ANZ V2 PLUS accounts are eligible for PayTo. If yours
is eligible, please see section 8 for details about PayTo Payment
Agreements.
Periodical payments can be arranged via the ANZ V2 PLUS
Service Centre (either directly or through any ANZ branch).
Direct debits must be established directly with the merchant
receiving the payment. See below for details.
You may have to pay a Periodical Payment Non-Payment Fee if
you have authorised a periodical payment that we cannot pay
from your account because there are insufficient cleared funds
available in your account.
You may have to pay a Dishonour Fee if you authorise a
person or company to take a direct debit from your account
and we cannot make the payment to them because there are
insufficient cleared funds available in your account.
Withdrawing or transferring through direct banking facilities
For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities, as well
as being able to withdraw funds through the ANZ V2 PLUS
Service Centre or by direct debit, you can also make withdrawals,
as long as enough funds are available:
by withdrawing cash over the counter at any ANZ branch;
by transferring funds to another account with us or another
financial institution, or making a BPAY® Payment, via ANZ
Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking
(if this funds transfer functionality is available on your version
of ANZ Mobile Banking), including by arranging a recurring
payment (see below for details);
66
if you have an ANZ card linked to your ANZ V2 PLUS account:
- by withdrawing cash at an ATM that accepts the card;
- (where the other account is also linked to the card) by
transferring funds to another ANZ account at an ANZ ATM
in Australia; or
- by making a cash withdrawal or purchase via EFTPOS where
permitted by the operator of the terminal; or
in any other way we allow.
If we allow you to make withdrawals in other ways, we can set
further terms and conditions for those withdrawals. If you want
to make a withdrawal at an ANZ branch that is not the one your
account is held at, we may set a limit on the amount you can
withdraw each day. We may also otherwise impose limits on the
amount of cash withdrawals that may be made over the counter
at any ANZ branch. Please ask at the branch or phone the ANZ
V2 PLUS Service Centre for details of any limits that apply.
Authorised representative
An authorised representative may be granted the following
authority to access your ANZ V2 PLUS account:
View-only access - The authorised representative may only
view your ANZ V2 PLUS account.
Trade and view-only access - The authorised representative
may make deposits into, and withdrawals from, your ANZ V2
PLUS account only via the real-time share trading interface.
The authorised representative may also view your ANZ V2
PLUS account.
Full access - The authorised representative has the same level
of access to your ANZ V2 PLUS account as you. This includes
authority to make deposits into, and withdrawals from, your
ANZ V2 PLUS account and to view your ANZ V2 PLUS account.
Minimum balance
Unless we agree otherwise, you need to keep a minimum
balance of $5,000 in your account at all times. If a withdrawal
would reduce your balance below $5,000, we may require you to
withdraw the whole balance and/or we may close your account.
If we require you to withdraw the whole balance, you can only
do this by contacting the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre. Unless we
agree otherwise, interest will not be earned in respect of any day
on which the closing balance of your account is less than $5,000.
If you have an ANZ V2 PLUS account with direct banking facilities
and are making a withdrawal using EFTPOS, at an ATM, or via
ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile
Banking, we may not allow the withdrawal if it would cause the
closing balance of your account to fall below $5,000.
The above minimum balance requirements and restrictions on
withdrawals are not applicable to any ANZ V2 Plus accounts
67
opened through an approved ANZ Intermediary on and from 29
September 2012.
Processing transactions
Subject to the terms of section 2.14 in relation to payments
processed through the New Payments Platform, transactions will
only be processed to your account on business days, and any
transaction that occurs on a non-business day will be processed to
your account on the next business day and will be effective on the
date of processing. However, a withdrawal will in all cases reduce
the amount of available funds in the account on the day it is made.
Interest rate
The annual credit interest rate which will apply to your ANZ V2
PLUS account will depend on whether you opened your account
directly with us or through an approved ANZ intermediary. ANZ V2
PLUS accounts were only able to be opened directly with us before
29 September 2012. Unless otherwise specified in a notice by us
to you, or subsequently amended by us in accordance with these
terms and conditions, the annual interest rate is as indicated below.
If you opened your account directly with us, the annual interest
rate will be the ANZ V2 PLUS Retail Rate.
If you opened your account through an approved intermediary,
the annual interest rate will be the ANZ V2 PLUS Intermediary
Rate, plus any applicable margin (as indicated in your statement
of account from time to time, as otherwise indicated in a notice
by us to you, or as subsequently amended by us in accordance
with these terms and conditions). Please contact the V2 PLUS
Service Centre for details of your current annual interest rate.
The daily interest rate is the applicable annual interest rate
divided by the number of days in a year (usually 365, but 366 in
a leap year).
We may make changes to the interest rate applicable to your
ANZ V2 PLUS account (including by making changes to the ANZ
V2 PLUS Retail Rate, the ANZ V2 PLUS Intermediary Rate or any
applicable margin) in accordance with section 2.16.
You can find out the current ANZ V2 PLUS Retail Rate and
ANZ V2 PLUS Intermediary Rate at www.anz.com or from any
ANZ branch.
Interest payments
Credit interest will accrue daily on the positive balance of your
ANZ V2 PLUS account as at the end of the day at the applicable
daily interest rate, as explained above. However, unless we agree
otherwise, interest will not accrue in respect of any day on which
the closing balance of your account is less than $5,000.
Subject to section 2.18 and to any alternative arrangements
provided for by a relevant intermediary at or about the time
of opening your account, we will pay accrued interest to you
68
on the first day of January, April, July and October. We will also
generally pay any outstanding accrued interest to you when you
close or withdraw all funds from your account.
Where an interest payment is scheduled to be made on a non-
business day, it will instead be made on the preceding business
day. The payment will relate to interest accrued (or expected
to accrue) up to, but not including, the scheduled date. The
payment will be credited with effect from the scheduled date.
All interest payments will be paid to your ANZ V2 PLUS account.
Account statements
We will provide you with a statement for your account at least
once every six months and more often (quarterly or monthly) if
either you ask or we require. You should keep these statements
for tax purposes.
You can ask for a statement showing all transactions and interest
paid for a specific period, or for an audit certificate. You may have
to pay a fee for this service.
You must carefully check your statements. If you think there
are mistakes or unauthorised or disputed transactions shown
on a statement, contact the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre as soon
as possible.
Joint accounts
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts without direct banking facilities
For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts without direct banking facilities, funds
can be withdrawn only in accordance with the instructions the
joint account holders have given us. For example, if your joint
account requires all parties to sign jointly’, any written request
for a withdrawal (including a periodical payment) must be
signed by all account holders. Similarly, telephone requests to
the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre must be authorised by all joint
account holders. The only exceptions to this are a withdrawal by
way of direct debit, and a withdrawal by a phone request for a
transfer of funds to the account that has previously been validly
nominated as an account to which funds may be transferred
from your ANZ V2 PLUS account, either of which any joint
account holder can arrange or make.
ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities
For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities, any
of the joint holders can withdraw or transfer funds from the
account without permission from the other account holders.
However, if you do not want any joint account holder to act
alone, you can arrange this by writing to us.
That arrangement will not be effective until we have
acknowledged it in writing. In these circumstances your account
will stop having direct banking facilities.
69
Authorised representatives for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with
direct banking facilities
At any time you can tell us that you no longer want us to let a
person who has been appointed as an authorised representative
in respect of your account continue to deal with your account.
However, this instruction will not be effective until we acknowledge
it in writing.
Company accounts
For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities, each
director or secretary who signs the application form will have
authority to use the account alone. For ANZ V2 PLUS accounts
without direct banking facilities, authorised representatives may
be appointed to also operate the account jointly. If a company
wants a third party to operate the account, the company will
need to appoint them.
Partnership, trust and unincorporated
association accounts
If a partnership or an unincorporated association wants more
than one person to use the account, those people can apply
jointly, or some of them can apply and the others can be
appointed as authorised representatives.
Similarly, an individual trustee can appoint an authorised
representative. In the case of joint trustees (individuals), they
may apply jointly or just some of them may apply and the others
may be appointed as an authorised representative.
Recurring payments and periodical payments for ANZ V2
PLUS accounts
A recurring payment is a payment that you have arranged via ANZ
Internet Banking to be paid on a repeating basis from your ANZ V2
PLUS account. A recurring payment facility can only be established
for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts with direct banking facilities.
A periodical payment is a payment (other than a recurring
payment) that you have arranged with us to be paid on a
repeating basis from your ANZ V2 PLUS account by reference to
your account number and branch number (BSB).
You may establish a periodical payment facility for an ANZ V2
PLUS account with direct banking facilities by completing a
periodical payment request form and posting or faxing it to
the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre or lodging it at an ANZ branch
(which will forward it to the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre),
or by any other means that we allow. If you have an ANZ V2
PLUS account without direct banking facilities, we may, in our
discretion, allow you to establish a periodical payment facility
for your account, in which case you will be able to do so in the
manner outlined above.
70
Direct debits for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts
A direct debit is a payment that you have authorised a merchant
to collect from your ANZ V2 PLUS account and that you arrange
through the merchant by providing your account number and
branch number (BSB).
You will need to establish any direct debit arrangements directly
with the relevant merchant. The ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre
cannot arrange direct debits for you.
Direct debits are able to be set up for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts
with direct banking facilities. We may, in our discretion, also allow
direct debits to be set up for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts without
direct banking facilities.
Stopping recurring payments, periodical payments and
direct debits for ANZ V2 PLUS accounts
If you have established a recurring payment facility, you may use
ANZ Internet Banking to stop or change a recurring payment on
the facility, or cancel the facility, at any time before the relevant
recurring payment is made.
If you have established a periodical payment facility, you can tell
us to stop or change a periodical payment on the facility, or cancel
the facility, by contacting the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre by
phone at least two business days before the relevant periodical
payment is due to be made. We may ask you to send us written
confirmation of your instruction before implementing it.
In certain cases we may be able to block a particular direct
debit, or direct debits by a particular merchant, at your request,
provided the request is made at least two banking days before
the payment is due to be made.
You may notify us of your request to block a direct debit by
contacting the ANZ V2 PLUS Service Centre by phone. We may
ask you to send us written confirmation of your instruction
before implementing it.
Blocking one or more direct debits may cause the merchant
concerned to stop providing the relevant goods and services
or may result in liability for you under any contract between
you and the merchant. You should make alternative payment
arrangements with the merchant if necessary.
Please see section 8 for details about stopping PayTo Payment
Agreements.
6.10 ANZ ONLINE SAVER ACCOUNT
Account opening
You may only open this account if you:
use your account wholly and exclusively for your private or
domestic use; and
71
open, or are the account holder of, or are authorised to deal

able to make transactions on that account.
Authority for dealing with the account
For ANZ Online Saver joint accounts, each account holder will
be able to operate (and enter into agreements to operate) the
account and act alone. You cannot specify that more than one
person needs to authorise transactions.
If you want to alter the instructions on who can make transactions
on the account, you must tell us by phoning our Contact Centre.
In some cases you may need to give us notice in writing.
Deposits
You can make deposits to your account:
by depositing cash at any ANZ ATM that accepts such deposits;
by transferring funds from your linked ANZ account using ANZ

which both accounts are linked) at any ANZ ATM in Australia;
by arranging an electronic transfer from your account with
another financial institution;
by arranging an electronic transfer from another person’s
account with another financial institution (e.g. by arranging
to have your salary or other income (such as family allowance
and pensions) paid directly to your account); or
in any other way we allow.

You may withdraw or transfer money from your account, as long
as enough funds are available:

with us or another financial institution; or
in any other way we allow.

Subject to section 2.18, we will credit interest to your account on
the last business day of every month.

We will send you a statement every six months. You can ask us
if you would like to receive statements more frequently (every
three months).
You can also get information on your ANZ Online Saver account
balance and transactions through ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ
Internet Banking and ANZ Mobile Banking.
Closing your account
You can ask us to close your account by phoning our Contact
Centre. You can also ask us to close your ANZ Online Saver
account at an ANZ branch. Before asking us to close your
account, please make sure that you have transferred any balance
out of the account through ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet
Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking.
We will pay any accrued interest, less any charges that apply, into
your nominated ANZ deposit account.
If any amounts deposited to your ANZ Online Saver account
have not cleared at the time you ask to close your account, we
will keep the account open until those deposits have cleared or
until the deposits are dishonoured or refused. At this time we
will close the account and pay you any credit balance.
If your account is in debit, you must pay, or make arrangements
satisfactory to us for the payment of, the outstanding balance
plus any accrued debit interest, fees and charges (including
contingent fees and charges) that apply at the time, before we
will close your account.
Subject to these requirements, ANZ will not unreasonably delay
in closing your account following your request that we do so.
If your account has nothing in it or is overdrawn, and you have not
made any payments into or out of it for more than three months,
we may close your account without giving you any notice.
If you close the ANZ deposit account that your ANZ Online Saver
account is linked to, you must either:
arrange for your ANZ Online Saver account to be linked to
another ANZ deposit account of yours; or
close your ANZ Online Saver account.
73
SECTION 7 SPECIFIC TERMS AND
CONDITIONS FOR ANZ ONE
OFFSET ACCOUNT AND ANZ
EQUITY MANAGER ACCOUNT
7.1 ANZ ONE OFFSET ACCOUNT
ANZ One offset accounts can only be used by individuals or
non-trading entities for private or domestic use, and can only be
linked to an eligible ANZ loan, being:
an ANZ Standard Variable Rate Home Loan or ANZ Standard
Variable Rate Residential Investment Loan; or
an ANZ Standard Variate Rate Home Loan in a Company
Name, or ANZ Standard Variable Rate Residential Investment
Loan in a Company Name
an ANZ 1 Year Fixed Rate Home Loan or ANZ 1 Year Fixed Rate
Residential Investment Loan drawn on or after 2 March 1998
(excluding Interest in Advance Loan); or
an ANZ 1 Year Fixed Rate Home Loan in a Company Name,
or ANZ 1 year Fixed Rate Residential Investment Loan in a
Company Name (excluding Interest in Advance Loan).
We may, in our discretion, treat another loan as an eligible ANZ
loan. Only one ANZ One offset account can be linked to an
eligible ANZ loan, or an eligible sub-account, where you hold an
ANZ Portfolio facility.
Eligibility criteria for linkage
We will link your ANZ One offset account to your ANZ loan when
each of the following eligibility criteria has been satisfied:
You have an eligible ANZ loan that can be linked to the ANZ
One offset account; and
You have asked us in writing in an approved form to link the
ANZ One offset account to the ANZ loan; or you have an
unlinked eligible ANZ One offset account and an eligible ANZ
loan and ANZ has determined to link that ANZ One offset
account to the eligible ANZ loan; and
The ANZ One offset account is not currently linked to an ANZ
loan; and
The ANZ One offset account is in exactly the same name as
the ANZ loan.
It may take us up to 5 business days to link the ANZ One offset
account to the ANZ loan once all eligibility criteria have been
satisfied. Interest offset will not apply until the accounts have
been linked.
If your ANZ One offset account is not, or is no longer, linked to
an eligible ANZ loan, or does not meet the eligibility criteria to
be linked to a loan, you acknowledge and agree that we may
74
close the ANZ One offset account. Before we do this, we will
contact you to seek your instructions as to how funds in the ANZ
One offset account should be applied.
If we are unable to obtain your instructions within 30 days, we
may deal with any funds in accordance with section 4.3.1 or
may transfer those funds to another ANZ deposit account that is
already held by you.
Offset amounts
We do not pay interest on ANZ One offset accounts.
However, an offset amount will accrue for each day on which an
offset arrangement applies and where, at the end of that day the
account is in credit.
Accrued offset amounts will subsequently be applied to reduce
the interest charge on your linked ANZ loan in the manner set
out below.
We work out the offset amount for a particular day as follows:
1. Take the balance of the ANZ One offset account or of your
linked ANZ loan (as determined in the manner described
below), whichever is less, for that day.
2. Take the interest rate that applies to your linked ANZ loan on
that day and multiply it by the offset percentage of your ANZ
One offset account, which (unless the letter of offer for your
ANZ loan says otherwise) is 100%.
3. Multiply the figures from 1 and 2 and divide the result by 365
(being the number of days in a non-leap year).
An example:
1. $5,000
2. 7.3% p.a. (i.e. 0.073) x 100% = 0.073
3. ($5,000 x 0.073) ÷ 365 = $1 (the offset amount for that day)
For the purpose of calculating the offset amount for a given
day, we will generally treat a transaction on your ANZ One offset
account or linked ANZ loan as effective on the date it occurs (for
example, the date a deposit is made). However, in some limited
cases, ANZ may, in its reasonable discretion, treat a transaction
as effective for the purpose of calculating the offset amount on
another date, such as the date it is processed to your account (for
example, if a loan has been closed or refinanced or if a historic
transaction is reversed).
Each interest charge that would otherwise be debited to your
linked ANZ loan will be reduced by the aggregate accrued
offset amounts for each day in the period over which that
interest charge accrued. Any excess accrued offset amounts
are then lost, and so will not reduce any further interest charge
subsequently calculated for that period or any later period.
75
Our right to set off or combine accounts
If you default on your ANZ loan, we can, without giving you
notice, use all or part of the balance in your ANZ One offset
account to pay off all or part of the ANZ loan.
Termination of offset arrangement
We will remove the linkage between your ANZ One offset
account and your ANZ loan and terminate the offset
arrangement when any of the following events occur:
your ANZ One offset account is closed; or
your ANZ loan becomes ineligible for an offset arrangement;
or
you ask us to, and we do, terminate the offset arrangement; or
we close your ANZ loan account following the repayment of
the loan; or
we provide a final payout figure for repayment of your ANZ
loan. If for any reason, your ANZ loan is not repaid, it may take
us up to 5 business days to re-link the ANZ loan to your ANZ
One offset account. Interest offset may not apply during this
period.
Interest offset will no longer apply upon termination of the offset
arrangement.
7.2 ANZ EQUITY MANAGER ACCOUNT
Interest
The credit interest rate is tiered. Subject to section 2.18, we will
credit interest to your account every month from the date on
which your account was opened.
Special conditions
ANZ Equity Manager accounts have a different fee structure to
that of other types of accounts. Details of the fee structure are
set out in the ANZ Personal Banking Account Fees and Charges
and ANZ Personal Banking General Fees and Charges’ booklets.
Details of the terms and conditions for the credit available with
this account (other than the Informal Overdraft referred to in
section 2.19) are set out in our ‘Consumer Lending Terms and
Conditions’ booklet and your letter of offer.
SECTION 8 ELECTRONIC
BANKING CONDITIONS OF USE

several days to process this change.
Authorised users, regardless of their level of access, cannot

If you are an ANZ credit card account holder and nominate
access to this account via ANZ Internet Banking, each additional
card holder will be an authorised user.
Processing instructions – general
The account holder authorises ANZ to act on the instructions
any authorised user enters into electronic equipment.
Any electronic transaction made by you cannot be cancelled,
altered or changed by you unless allowed by the applicable
terms and conditions or this section.
ANZ may delay acting on or may ask you for further information
before acting on an instruction.
ANZ is not obliged to process a future dated or recurring transfer
or Pay Anyone to a PayID that has changed since ANZ received
your instructions. You must monitor your recurring and future
transfers and Pay Anyone instructions and update the payee
details if required.
If you make a cash withdrawal from an account by making an
electronic transaction and there is a difference between the
amount of cash received and the amount shown on the receipt,
you must report this to ANZ and to the merchant (if applicable)
as soon as possible. You can make your report to ANZ by calling
ANZ on the number listed in this booklet.
If you make a deposit of funds to an account by making an
electronic transaction and there is a difference between the
amount recorded as having been deposited and the amount
ANZ receives, the account holder will be notified of the
difference as soon as possible and will be advised of the actual
amount which has been credited to the account.
ANZ is not liable for the refusal of any merchant to accept an
electronic transaction and, to the extent permitted by law, is not
responsible for the goods and services supplied by a merchant.
81
ANZ may notify you of any electronic transactions (instructions
for which are received through ANZ Mobile Banking) it is unable
to process.
You accept that:
not all electronic equipment from which cash can be
withdrawn will always contain cash;
any cash dispensed at electronic equipment is at your risk
once it becomes visible or available for you to collect;
not all electronic equipment will allow you to make deposits;
future dated transfers, Pay Anyone or BPAY® Payment
instructions can only be revoked or changed by you if
instructions to delete the transaction are given to ANZ
through ANZ Internet Banking (or any other channel we allow)
before midnight Sydney time on the business day before the
transaction is scheduled to occur.
An immediate transfer, Pay Anyone or BPAY® Payment cannot
be revoked or stopped once ANZ receives your instruction.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all the information
you have provided is correct. For instance, if you enter an
incorrect BSB and/or account number in your instructions for
an immediate transfer or Pay Anyone, your funds may be paid
to an unintended recipient and may not be recovered. ANZ
does not check that the details provided by you are correct or
that the account name matches the account number. Future
dated transfer, Pay Anyone or BPAY® Payment instructions can
only be revoked or changed by you if instructions to delete the
transaction are given to ANZ through ANZ Internet Banking
before midnight Sydney time on the business day before the
transaction is scheduled to occur. After this time, the instruction
cannot be revoked by you.
Processing instructions – cut-off times
Refer to your account terms and conditions for details regarding
when transactions made using ANZ Phone Banking, ANZ Internet
Banking, ANZ Mobile Banking, Pay Anyone and International
Services, BPAY® Payments and PayTo payments, will be applied to
your account and processed as a payment to the payee.
Processing instructions – Pay Anyone and International
Services
Pay Anyone instructions will generally be delivered to the
payees financial institution on the day that ANZ processes them
except where:
you tell ANZ to make a Pay Anyone payment after ANZ’s
cut-off time (other than in the case of a Pay Anyone payment
processed through the New Payments Platform); or
ANZ is not obliged to process your instructions; or
there is a technical failure; or
82
there is a technical or payment infrastructure-related delay
that is outside of our control; or
there is a delay or error in accepting the instructions caused
by the financial institution to which the transfer is to be made.
ANZ cannot control (and is not responsible for) when, or if, the
payees financial institution processes your instructions or the fees
that financial institutions may charge to process your instructions.
Once ANZ processes your transfer instruction, ANZ is reliant
on the payees financial institution to advise whether your
instructions have been successfully processed. If the payees
financial institution advises that your transfer instruction has not
been successful, it may take a number of weeks, depending on
the financial institution, to reverse the relevant withdrawal from
your linked account.
If the transfer is to be made from a credit card, it will be treated
as a cash advance and interest and fees may apply.
Processing instructions – BPAY® Payments
ANZ is a member of the BPAY® Scheme. This is an electronic
payments scheme through which ANZ can be asked to make
BPAY® Payments on your behalf to billers. ANZ will tell you if it
ceases to offer BPAY® Payments or be a member of the BPA
Scheme. For the purposes of the BPAY® Scheme, ANZ may also
be a biller. This section applies only to BPAY® Payments and does
not apply to payments processed using Osko®, which is another
service provided by BPAY®.
You must comply with the terms and conditions for the account
which you ask ANZ to debit a BPAY® Payment (to the extent that
those terms are not inconsistent with or expressly overridden by
these Conditions of Use).
To make a BPAY® Payment the following information must be
given to ANZ:
your CRN and password or Telecode;
the biller code from the bill;
your customer reference number (e.g. your account number)
with that biller;
the amount you want to pay;
the account from which you want the payment to be made;
and
for future dated payments, the date on which you want the
payment to be made.
Once this information is provided, ANZ will treat your
instructions as valid and will debit the relevant account. ANZ
will not be obliged to effect a BPAY® Payment instruction if it is
not made in accordance with these Conditions of Use or if the
information given is incomplete and/or inaccurate.
83
ANZ may reject a payment direction if the relevant biller no
longer offers BPAY payment facilities.
Limits apply to your use of BPAY® Payments on both a per
transaction and daily limit (per CRN) basis.
Separate daily limits apply for BPATax Payments, independent
of the general BPAY® Payment limits. For more information on
available limits see www.anz.com
A delay may occur in processing a BPAY® Payment where:
the day after you tell ANZ to make a BPAY® Payment is a non-
business day;
you tell ANZ to make a BPAY® Payment after ANZ’s cut-off
time; or
another participant in the BPAY® Scheme, such as another
financial institution or a biller does not process a BPAY® Payment
as soon as it receives details of the payment or does not
otherwise comply with its obligations under the BPAY® Scheme.
While it is expected that any such delay will not continue for
more than one business day, it may continue for a longer period.
ANZ will attempt to ensure a BPAY® Payment is processed
promptly by billers and other participants in the BPAY® Scheme.
You should check your account records carefully and tell ANZ as
soon as possible if you become aware of:
a BPAY® Payment which has been made from your linked
account which was not authorised;
the possibility that you have been fraudulently induced to
make a BPAY® Payment; or
any delay or mistake in processing of your BPAY® Payment.
The longer it takes you to tell ANZ about a BPAY® Payment which
was unauthorised, may have been fraudulently induced, or any
delay or mistake in processing the BPAY® Payment, the more
difficult it may be for ANZ to investigate and/or recover the
payment.
You must provide ANZ such assistance as may be reasonably
necessary to investigate any BPAY® Payment which was
unauthorised, may have been fraudulently induced, or any delay
or mistake in processing the BPAY® Payment.
If ANZ is advised by a biller that it cannot process your BPA
Payment ANZ will:
advise you of this;
credit your account with the amount of that BPAY® Payment;
and
tell you how ANZ can assist you, if possible, in making the
payment as soon as possible.
84
A linked ANZ credit card account can only be used to make a
BPAY® Payment if the biller accepts credit card payment.
If the biller does not accept credit card payment but you want to pay
from a credit card account, payment will be by way of a cash advance.
You are not authorised to give a biller code to any person in
order to receive payments owing to you. Biller codes may only
be used by authorised billers to receive payment of bills issued
by that biller. The terms and conditions of use of BPAY® Payments
will not apply to any use by you of biller codes in this way.
Short Message Service (SMS) and other messages
By registering for ANZ Mobile Banking, you agree that ANZ
may send SMS messages to your nominated mobile phone.
ANZ is not liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of
any person other than you accessing those messages, except
where such loss or damage arise from negligence, fraud or wilful
misconduct by ANZ or its officers, employees, contractors or
agents, or in respect of any consequential loss or damage.
Card Validity
Your card remains ANZ’s property at all times. A card must be
signed immediately by the person in whose name it has been
issued and must only be used within the ‘valid from’ and ‘until
end’ dates shown on the card. For security reasons you must, as
soon as the card expires, destroy it by cutting it (including any
embedded microchip on the card) diagonally in half.
Lost or stolen cards, Password, PIN or Telecode
If you report that a card has been lost or stolen the card will be
cancelled as soon as the report is made.
You must not use the card once the report is made. If you
recover the lost or stolen card, the card must be securely
destroyed (including any chip).
You must make a report to ANZ (and the relevant third party, if
a third party issued the username, password, PIN or card to you)
immediately you become aware or suspect that your password,
username, PIN, CRN or Telecode is disclosed or used without
your authority, or lost. You must not then continue to use your
password, username, PIN, CRN or Telecode. ANZ will cancel it
and arrange for you to select a new username, password, PIN
or Telecode, or to be provided with a new CRN. The best way to
make the report is to call ANZ on the telephone numbers listed
in this booklet.
If ANZ’s telephone reporting service is unavailable, you must
report the disclosure, loss, theft or misuse to any ANZ branch.
Your account terms and conditions outline how you can make a
report if ANZ’s telephone reporting service is unavailable or you
are overseas.
85
Suspension or termination of your ability to make BPA
Payments and cancellation of electronic access
Without limiting any other rights of ANZ under applicable
terms and conditions, we may at any time suspend or
terminate your ability to make BPAY® Payments in the following
circumstances:
We, or BPAY®, suspect on reasonable grounds that you, or a
person acting on your behalf is:
- being fraudulent;
- in breach, or will cause you to be in breach, of these terms
and conditions;
- using BPAY® Payments in a manner that will, or is likely to,
adversely affect the integrity, stability or reputation of BPA
Payments, the BPAY® Scheme, or the quality of services
offered to you or to other customers; or
- using BPAY® Payments in connection with any activities
which are unlawful;
BPAY® or any regulatory authority requires or requests us to do
so; or
our membership to the BPAY® Scheme or our subscription
to BPAY® Payments is suspended, ceases or is cancelled for
any reason.
You can request ANZ to de-register you from ANZ Internet
Banking at any time by Securemail or by calling the relevant
number listed in this booklet.
Withdrawal of electronic access
Without limiting any other rights of ANZ under applicable terms
and conditions, ANZ may withdraw your electronic access to
accounts (including by BPAY® Payments) without prior notice if:
electronic equipment malfunctions or is otherwise unavailable
for use;
a merchant refuses to accept your card;
any one of the accounts is overdrawn (other than by use of
the Informal Overdraft, if any) or will become overdrawn, or is
otherwise considered out of order by ANZ;
ANZ believes your access to accounts through electronic
equipment may cause loss to the account holder or to ANZ;
ANZ believes that the quality or security of your electronic
access process or ANZ’s systems may have been
compromised;
all the accounts which you may access using ANZ Phone
Banking or ANZ Internet Banking have been closed or are
inactive or the account you have nominated for ANZ Mobile
Banking fees and charges to be charged to is closed;
86
ANZ suspects you of being fraudulent or engaging in
inappropriate behaviour unless the withdrawal is prohibited
by law.
ANZ may at any time change the types of accounts that may
be operated, or the types of electronic transactions that may be
made through particular electronic equipment.
Password, PIN and Telecode Security
Users must keep their passwords, PINs and Telecodes secure.
Failure to do so may increase your liability for any loss.
Warning: A user must not use their birth date or an
alphabetical Telecode which is a recognisable part of their
name as a password, PIN or Telecode, or select a Telecode
which has sequential numbers, for example, ‘12345’ or
where all numbers are the same, for example, ‘11111’. If the
user does, you may be liable for any loss suffered from an
unauthorised transaction.
A user must not:
voluntarily disclose any of their passwords, PINs or Telecodes
to anyone, including a family member or friend;
write or record passwords, PINs or Telecodes on a card, or
keep a record of the passwords, PINs or Telecodes on anything
carried with the card or liable to loss or theft at the same time
as the card, unless the user makes a reasonable attempt to
protect the security of the passwords, PINs or Telecodes;
keep a written record of all passwords, PINs or Telecodes
required to perform transactions on one or more articles
liable to be lost or stolen at the same time, without making a
reasonable attempt to protect the security of the passwords,
PINs or Telecodes;
select a numeric password, PIN or Telecode that represents
their birth date, or an alphabetical password, PIN or Telecode
that is a recognisable part of their name;
otherwise act with extreme carelessness in failing to protect
the security of all passwords, PINs or Telecodes, (each a
‘Security Requirement’).
For the avoidance of doubt, reference to passwords in this
clause (Password, PIN and Telecode Security) includes one-
time passwords.
Warning: Users should avoid accessing ANZ Phone Banking
through telephone services which record numbers dialled
– for example hotels which do this for billing purposes. In
these situations users should obtain access to ANZ Phone
Banking through an ANZ customer service operator.
87
To assist you, ANZ publishes security guidelines. A copy of the
current guidelines is available at www.anz.com
Additional authentication requirements
To help protect the security of your account, ANZ may require
you to comply with additional authentication requirements
before processing a transaction (for example, by requiring you
to enter a security code sent to your mobile before processing a
withdrawal). ANZ will decide in its discretion which transactions
require additional authentication. If you are unable to comply
with an authentication request or if the system through which
the authentication is done malfunctions or is unavailable for any
reason, ANZ may not be able to process a transaction. In this
instance, you can contact ANZ for assistance.
Unauthorised transactions
The following provisions apply to unauthorised transactions.
The provisions do not apply to a transaction performed by a user
or by anyone who performs a transaction with the knowledge
and consent of a user.
(a) When ANZ is liable
ANZ will be liable for losses incurred by the account holder that:
are caused by the fraudulent or negligent conduct of ANZ’s
employees or agents or third parties involved in networking
arrangements, or of merchants or their agents or employees;
are caused by a card, account number, PayID, password, PIN or
Telecode which is forged, faulty, expired or cancelled;
are caused by a transaction that requires the use of any card,
password, PIN or Telecode that occurred before the user
received or selected the card, password, PIN or Telecode
(including a reissued card, password, PIN or Telecode);
are caused by a transaction being incorrectly debited a
second or subsequent times to the same account;
arise from an unauthorised transaction that occurs after you
have notified ANZ that any card has been misused, lost or
stolen or that the security of a password, PIN or Telecode has
been breached;
arise from an unauthorised transaction that can be made
using an account number or PayID without a password, PIN
or Telecode or card. Where a transaction can be made using a
card, or a card and an account number or PayID, but does not
require a password, PIN or Telecode, you will be liable only if
the user unreasonably delays reporting the loss or theft of the
card;
arise from an unauthorised transaction if it is clear that a user
has not contributed to the losses; or
occur while ANZ’s process for reporting unauthorised
transactions, loss, theft or misuse of a card or breach of a
88
Security Requirement is unavailable, provided that a report
is made within a reasonable time of the process again
becoming generally available.
(b) When the account holder is liable
If ANZ can prove on the balance of probability that a user
contributed to the loss arising from an unauthorised transaction
through fraud or through breaching a Security Requirement:
the account holder is liable in full for the actual losses that
occur before ANZ is notified of the loss, theft or misuse of a
card or breach of a Security Requirement, but
the account holder will not be liable for a portion of the losses:
incurred on any one day that exceed any applicable daily
transaction limit;
incurred in any period that exceed any applicable periodic
transaction limit;
that exceed the balance of the account, including any pre-
arranged credit; or
incurred on any account that ANZ and the account holder
had not agreed could be accessed using the card, account
number or PayID and/or password, PIN or Telecode used to
perform the transaction.
Where:
more than one password, PIN or Telecode is required to
perform a transaction, and
ANZ can prove that a user breached a Security Requirement
for one or more (but not all) of the required passwords, PINs
or Telecodes, the account holder will only be liable if ANZ can
also prove that on the balance of probability that the breach of
the Security Requirement was more than 50% responsible for
the losses, when assessed together with all the contributing
causes. The account holder is liable for losses arising from
unauthorised transactions that occur because a user
contributed to the losses by leaving a card in an ANZ ATM.
If ANZ can prove, on the balance of probability that a user
contributed to the losses resulting from an unauthorised
transaction by unreasonably delaying reporting the misuse, loss or
theft of a card or a breach of a Security Requirement, the account
holder will be liable for the actual losses that occur between:
the time when the user became aware of the security
compromise, or in the case of a lost or stolen card, should
reasonably have become aware; and
the time ANZ was notified of the security compromise.
However, the account holder will not be liable for that portion of
the losses:
89
incurred on any one day that exceeds any applicable daily
transaction limit;
incurred in any period that exceeds any applicable periodic
transaction limit;
that exceeds the balance on the account, including any pre-
arranged credit; or
incurred on any account that we and the account holder
had not agreed could be accessed using the card and/or
passwords, PIN or Telecode used to perform the transaction.
If it is not clear whether a user has contributed to the loss caused
by an unauthorised transaction and where a password, PIN or
Telecode was required to perform the unauthorised transaction,
the account holder is liable for the least of:
$150 or a lower figure determined by ANZ;
the balance of the account or accounts (including any
prearranged credit) from which ANZ and the account holder
have agreed could be accessed using the card and/or
password, PIN or Telecode, and
the actual loss at the time ANZ is notified of the misuse, loss or
theft of a card or breach of a Security Requirement (but not that
portion of the loss incurred on any one day* which is greater than
the daily transaction limit or other periodic transaction limit (if any)).
Additional protection
Visa – Zero liability
Subject to the section headed ‘Unauthorised transactions’ you
will not be liable for unauthorised transactions on a Visa credit
card or ANZ Access Visa Debit card.
If you notify ANZ of an unauthorised transaction(s), within 5
business days we will provide provisional credit to you to the
value of the unauthorised transaction unless your prior account
history is unsatisfactory or if the nature of transactions justifies a
delay in crediting your account.
MasterCard – Zero liability
Subject to the section headed ‘Unauthorised transactions’ you
will not be liable for unauthorised transactions on a MasterCard
credit card.
Equipment malfunction
ANZ is responsible to the account holder for any loss caused by
the failure of a system or equipment to complete a transaction
that was accepted in accordance with your instructions.
However, if you were aware or should reasonably have been
aware that the system or equipment was unavailable for use or
malfunctioning, ANZ’s responsibility will be limited to correcting

errors in the account and refunding any charges or fees imposed
as a result.
You are solely responsible for your own computer and mobile
phone anti-virus and security measures, and those of any
authorised user, to help prevent unauthorised access via ANZ
Internet Banking or ANZ Mobile Banking to your transactions
and linked accounts.
Liability under the BPAY® Scheme
(a) General
You should note that:
if you advise ANZ that a BPAY® Payment made from a linked
account is unauthorised, you should first give ANZ your
written consent to obtain from the biller information about
your account with that biller or the BPAY® Payment, (including
your CRN) as ANZ reasonably requires to investigate the BPA
Payment. This should be addressed to the biller who received
the BPAY® Payment. If you do not do this, the biller may not
be permitted by law to disclose to ANZ the information ANZ
needs to investigate or rectify that BPAY® Payment;
if you discover that the amount you instructed ANZ to
pay was less than the amount you needed to pay, you can
make another BPAY® Payment for the shortfall. If you cannot
make another BPAY® Payment for the shortfall because the
shortfall amount is less than the minimum amount the biller
will accept, you can ask ANZ to arrange for a reversal of the
initial payment. You can then make a second payment for
the correct amount. If you discover that the amount you
instructed ANZ to pay was more than the amount you needed
to pay, you can ask ANZ to request a reversal of the initial
payment from the biller on your behalf, and if this occurs, you
can make a second payment for the correct amount.
(b) ANZ’s liability
If you are liable for an unauthorised or fraudulently induced
payment under this ‘Liability under the BPAY® Scheme’ section
or as a result of a BPAY® billing error and the ePayments Code
applies, then your liability is limited to the lesser of:
(i) the amount of that unauthorised or fraudulently induced
payment;
(ii) the limit (if any) of your liability set out under ‘Unauthorised
transactions’.
If (ii) applies, ANZ will be liable to you for the difference between
the amount for which you are liable and the amount of the
unauthorised or fraudulently induced payment.
91
BPAY® Payments
Except where a BPAY® Payment is an unauthorised payment, a
fraudulently induced payment or a mistaken payment, BPA
Payments are irrevocable. No refunds will be provided through
the BPAY® Scheme where you have a dispute with the biller about
any goods or services you may have agreed to acquire from the
biller. Any dispute must be resolved with the biller. This is the case
even where your BPAY® Payment has been made with a credit
card account, no chargeback rights apply to BPAY® Payments.
Unauthorised BPAY® Payments
If a BPAY® Payment is made in accordance with a payment
direction, which appeared to ANZ to be from you or on your
behalf, but which you did not in fact authorise, ANZ will credit
your account with the amount of that unauthorised payment.
However, you must pay ANZ the amount of that payment, or
part of that payments (as applicable):
(i) to the extent that ANZ cannot recover the amount from
the person who received it within 20 business days of ANZ
attempting to do so; and
(ii) if the payment was made as a result of a payment direction
which did not comply with ANZ’s security requirements.
Fraudulently induced BPAY® Payments
If a BPAY® Payment is induced by the fraud of a person involved
in the BPAY® Scheme, then that person should refund you the
amount of the fraudulently induced payment. However, if that
person does not refund you that amount, you must bear the loss
unless some other person involved in the BPAY® Scheme knew
of the fraudulent inducement or would have detected it with
reasonable diligence, in which case that person must refund you
the amount of the fraudulently induced payment.
Mistaken BPAY® Payments
If you discover that a BPAY® Payment has been made to a
person, or for an amount, which is not in accordance with your
instructions (if any), and your account was debited for the amount
of that payment, ANZ will credit that amount to your account.
However, if you were responsible for a mistake resulting in that
payment (e.g. due to entering the wrong details as part of the
payment direction) and ANZ cannot recover the amount of that
payment, or part of that payment (as applicable) from the person
who received it within 20 business days of ANZ attempting to do
so, you must pay ANZ the amount that ANZ cannot recover.
You acknowledge that the receipt by a biller of a mistaken
or erroneous payment does not or will not, under any
circumstances, constitute part or whole satisfaction of any
underlying debt owed between you and that biller.
92
Consequential Loss
This clause does not apply to the extent that it is inconsistent
with or contrary to any applicable law or code of practice to
which we have subscribed. If those laws or that code would
make this clause illegal, void or unenforceable or impose an
obligation or liability which is prohibited by those laws or
that code, this clause is to be read as if it were varied to the
extent necessary to comply with those laws or that code or, if
necessary, omitted.
ANZ is not liable for any consequential loss or damage you suffer
as a result of using the BPAY® Scheme, other than due to any loss
or damage you suffer due to ANZ’s negligence or in relation to
any breach of a condition or warranty implied by law in contracts
for the supply of goods and services and which may not be
excluded, restricted or modified at all or only to a limited extent.
(c) Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you indemnify ANZ against any
loss or damage ANZ may suffer (acting reasonably) due to any
claim, demand or action of any kind brought against ANZ arising
directly because you:
(i) did not observe your obligations under; or
(ii) acted negligently or fraudulently in connection with,
these Electronic Banking Conditions of Use.
You are not required to discharge or indemnify us under this
clause in relation to any loss or damage to the extent it arises
from negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct or mistake by ANZ or
its officers, employees, contractors or agents.

will depend on the Receiving Banks exercise of discretion to
pursue all, some or none of the funds.

unintended recipient, the account holder will be liable for losses
arising from the Mistaken Internet Payment or Misdirected Payment.

PayTo Payment Agreements
PayTo® allows you to authorise and maintain PayTo Payment
Agreements with Payees who offer PayTo as a payment option.
For the purpose of this clause:
‘Mandate Management Service’ means the central database
used to store PayTo Payment Agreement details operated by
NPPA.
‘Merchant’ means a merchant with which you have established
a PayTo Payment Agreement, or who seeks to establish a PayTo
Payment Agreement with you.
‘Payee’ means Merchant or Payment Initiator.
‘Payment Initiatormeans a payment service provider who,
acting on behalf of a Merchant, is authorised by the Merchant
to establish PayTo Payment Agreements and/or initiate PayTo
payments from your account.
Transfer IDmeans a unique identification number generated
by the Mandate Management Service in connection with a
request to transfer one or more PayTo Payment Agreements.
Creating a PayTo Payment Agreement
To establish a PayTo Payment Agreement, you will need to have
an eligible ANZ account, and the Payee will need to offer PayTo
payment services. You will be required to provide the Payee with
your personal information including your BSB/Account number
or PayID. You are responsible for ensuring that any information
you provide the Payee when establishing a PayTo Payment
Agreement is correct. In respect of the collection, use and
disclosure of any personal information or data you provide to the
Payee, the terms and conditions of the Payee, and their privacy
policy (if any) will apply.
Details of your PayTo Payment Agreement will be submitted
by the Payee to their financial institution for their record and
inclusion in the Mandate Management Service. The Mandate
Management Service will record details of your PayTo Payment
Agreement to ensure that payments are processed in line
with this agreement and to notify ANZ of the creation of this
agreement.
PayTo is a registered trademark of NPP Australia Limited.
96
ANZ will notify you of the creation of a PayTo Payment
Agreement. You must review all details within the PayTo
Payment Agreement to verify whether they are correct. If you
believe that any details contained within a PayTo Payment
Agreement are incorrect (such as payment amount, frequency or
any other detail presented), you may decline the PayTo Payment
Agreement and contact the Payee, who may amend and
resubmit the agreement.
After reviewing the details of the PayTo Payment Agreement, you
may authorise or decline the PayTo Payment Agreement. If you
authorise the PayTo Payment Agreement, ANZ will record this
instruction, update the Mandate Management Service and the
agreement will become active. If you decline a PayTo Payment
Agreement, ANZ will record this instruction, update the Mandate
Management Service and the agreement will be cancelled.
If the Payee has specified a timeframe (up to a maximum of
5 days) within which you must action the PayTo Payment
Agreement authorisation request, you must action the request
within that timeframe. If no timeframe is specified by the
Payee, the request will automatically expire after 6 days. Expired
authorisation requests will be considered declined PayTo
Payment Agreements.
A PayTo Payment Agreement may be withdrawn by the Payee at
any time before you action an authorisation request.
Amending a PayTo Payment Agreement
Your PayTo Payment Agreement may be amended by you or by
the Payee.
By Payee
Where an amendment to your PayTo Payment Agreement
proposed by the Payee requires your authorisation, ANZ
will be notified of these amendments by the Mandate
Management Service and will notify you of the proposed
amendments. This could include, for example, changes to the
payment amount, payment frequency or date.
You must authorise or decline any amendment request that
requires your approval. If you authorise the amendment ANZ
will record this instruction, update the Mandate Management
Service and the amendment will become effective. If you
decline the amendment ANZ will record this instruction,
notify the Mandate Management Service and the amendment
will not be made. A declined amendment request will not
otherwise affect the PayTo Payment Agreement.
If you decline the amendment request because it does not
reflect the updated terms of the PayTo Payment Agreement
that you have with the Payee, you may contact the Payee
and have them resubmit the amendment request with the
97
correct details. ANZ is not authorised to vary the details in an
amendment request submitted by the Payee.
Amendment requests which are not authorised or declined
within 6 days of being sent to you, will expire. If you do not
authorise or decline the amendment request within this
period of time, the amendment request will be deemed to be
declined. This will not affect the existing terms of the PayTo
Payment Agreement.
By you
Once a PayTo Payment Agreement has been established, you
can amend certain details of your PayTo Payment Agreement
(such as changing the linked account) via ANZ Internet
Banking, or in any other way we make available.
In the event that your account is no longer eligible for PayTo,
you will be unable to make or authorise amendment requests
on your agreement. You may:
- contact the Payee and request that they cancel the existing
agreement and create a new PayTo Payment Agreement
with an eligible BSB/Account number or PayID; or
- you may instruct us to cancel the agreement and request
the Payee to submit a new PayTo Payment Agreement on
an eligible account.
By ANZ
ANZ will not ordinarily amend a PayTo Payment Agreement on
your behalf but we may do so in limited circumstances (e.g.
if you are temporarily unable to access your account). If you
instruct us to amend your PayTo Payment Agreement, we may,
acting reasonably, decide not to act on your instructions, for
example, where it is not possible for us to do so, or where we
reasonably consider or suspect those instructions either:
- have not been authorised by the account holder(s) or are
otherwise fraudulent;
- have been provided by mistake; or
- contain material omissions or errors.
Pausing a PayTo Payment Agreement
By you
Via ANZ Internet Banking, or in any other way we make
available:
- you may instruct ANZ to pause your PayTo Payment
Agreement; and
- where you have paused a PayTo Payment Agreement, you
will also be able to resume that agreement.
98
ANZ will act on such an instruction by updating your
agreement and notifying the Mandate Management Service
to update your record. The Mandate Management Service will
notify the Payee’s financial institution of this update.
In the event that your account is no longer eligible for PayTo,
you will be unable to pause or resume your agreement. You
may request the Payee to pause and resume the agreement
on your behalf or you may instruct us to cancel the agreement
and request the Payee to submit a new PayTo Payment
Agreement on an eligible account.
Before pausing a PayTo Payment Agreement you should
consider if this action may cause you to breach any
contractual obligations between you and the Payee. ANZ
will not be liable for any loss you suffer if you breach any
agreement you have with the Payee.
By the Payee
A Payee may pause and resume their PayTo Payment
Agreement with you. If the Payee pauses or resumes an
agreement, they will notify their financial institution for their
record and update to the Mandate Management Service. ANZ
will be notified of a pause/resume update by the Mandate
Management Service and will notify you of this.
By ANZ
ANZ may pause and resume your PayTo Payment Agreement
where we reasonably consider or suspect fraud, unlawful
activity, misconduct, or any suspicious activity.
We may also pause your PayTo Payment Agreement if your
account is no longer eligible to be used to process a payment
initiation request. See clause titled Availability of PayTo for
details of the eligibility criteria.
ANZ will notify the Mandate Management Service to update
your record and the Mandate Management Service will notify
the Payee’s financial institution of this update. ANZ will notify
you of this.
While your PayTo Payment Agreement is paused, ANZ will
not process payment instructions in connection with this
agreement.
If your PayTo Payment Agreement has been paused because
your account is no longer eligible for PayTo, and you amend the
agreement to link it to an eligible BSB/Account number, your
PayTo Payment Agreement will automatically resume.
Transferring a PayTo Payment Agreement
Where this functionality is offered by both ANZ and the other
financial institution, you may instruct us (via ANZ Internet
Banking or in any other way we make available) to transfer your
99
PayTo Payment Agreement to an account held with another
financial institution. ANZ will provide you with a Transfer ID
to provide to your new financial institution to enable them to
complete the transfer.
Your new financial institution will be responsible for ensuring
that you authorise the transfer of your PayTo Payment
Agreement and that the details stored in the Mandate
Management Service are updated. Your updated PayTo Payment
Agreement will become effective once this transfer process is
complete.
Until a transfer is complete, your PayTo Payment Agreement
and any payments under this agreement will remain linked to
and processed from your ANZ account. If the other financial
institution does not complete the transfer within 14 days of the
date on which the relevant Transfer ID was issued, the transfer will
be deemed to be ineffective and payments under the Payment
Agreement will continue to be made from your account with us.
You may need to start the transfer process again.
If you decide to transfer a PayTo Payment Agreement held with
another financial institution to an eligible ANZ account, you will
need to obtain a Transfer ID from that financial institution and
provide this information when completing a transfer instruction
via ANZ Internet Banking (or in any other way we make
available). ANZ does not guarantee that all Payment Agreements
will be transferrable but will make reasonable endeavours to
process your instruction within 14 days. If ANZ is unable to
complete a transfer request, we will notify you of this.
Cancelling a PayTo Payment Agreement
By you
You may instruct ANZ to cancel a PayTo Payment Agreement
on your behalf via ANZ Internet Banking (or in any other
way we make available). ANZ will act on this instruction
by updating your agreement and notifying the Mandate
Management Service to update your record. The Mandate
Management Service will notify the Payee’s financial
institution of this update.
Cancelling a PayTo Payment Agreement will take effect
immediately and the agreement cannot be re-activated.
Before cancelling a PayTo Payment Agreement you should
consider if this action will cause you to breach any contractual
obligations between you and the Payee. ANZ will not be liable
for any loss you suffer if you breach any agreement you have
with the Payee.
In the event that your account is no longer eligible for PayTo,
you will be unable to cancel your PayTo Payment Agreement.
In that event, you can contact ANZ to cancel the agreement
on your behalf.
100
By the Payee
A Payee may cancel their PayTo Payment Agreement with
you. If the Payee cancels your agreement, they will notify their
financial institution for their record and update the Mandate
Management Service. ANZ will be notified of this cancellation
by the Mandate Management Service and notify you of this.
By ANZ
ANZ may cancel your PayTo Payment Agreement where
we reasonably consider or suspect fraud, unlawful activity,
misconduct, or any other suspicious activity. We may also
cancel your agreement if your account is no longer eligible
for PayTo. See clause titled Availability of PayTo for details of
eligibility criteria. You may also request ANZ to cancel a PayTo
Payment Agreement on your behalf if you do not have access
to do so yourself via ANZ Internet Banking (or in any other way
we make available). ANZ will notify the Mandate Management
Service to update your record. The Mandate Management
Service will notify the Payee’s financial institution of this
update. ANZ will notify you of this cancellation.
Unauthorised PayTo Payments
Once a payment has been made under a PayTo Payment
Agreement it is irrevocable. Refunds and reversals will not be
provided by ANZ, PayTo or the New Payments Platform where
you have a dispute with a Payee about any goods or services
you have agreed to or acquired from the Payee under a PayTo
Payment Agreement. If you have any complaints about goods or
services purchased using a PayTo Payment Agreement you must
resolve the complaint directly with the Payee concerned.
If you become aware of a payment being made from your
account, that is not permitted under the terms of your PayTo
Payment Agreement (such as the payment frequency or the
amount debited) you should contact the Payee to resolve this
matter directly with them. If you have made reasonable attempts
to resolve this matter, ANZ may, at its discretion, raise an enquiry
with the Payee’s financial institution in an attempt to recover
funds on your behalf.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with the
terms of any agreement that you have made with a Payee,
including adhering to any termination notice periods.
You acknowledge that you are responsible for any loss
that you or any other person suffer in connection with the
cancellation or pausing of a PayTo Payment Agreement which
is in breach of any agreement that you have with that Payee.
This could include (but is not limited to) any termination
notice periods that have not been adhered to, any payments
101
that may still be due and any cancellation fees or charges that
may apply.
You must immediately notify ANZ if you no longer hold or
have authority to operate an account or PayID that is linked to
a PayTo Payment Agreement.
You must promptly respond to any communication that you
receive from ANZ regarding a PayTo Payment Agreement, and
within the specified time period. ANZ will not be liable for any
loss that you may incur as a result of your delay in responding
to such communication.
If you become aware of any activity that appears suspicious
or fraudulent in relation to a PayTo Payment Agreement,
for example if you receive a PayTo Payment Agreement
authorisation request that you are not expecting or become
aware of a fraudulent PayTo payment being processed from
your account, you must immediately (a) pause your PayTo
Payment Agreement, and (b) notify us.
Existing Direct Debits
This clause applies when this functionality is offered by both
ANZ and the Payee’s financial institution.
You may have an existing direct debit set up with a Payee. Where
a Payee wants to start processing these payments through PayTo
instead, a PayTo Payment Agreement will be created by the
Payee and submitted to their financial institution for their record
and for inclusion in the Mandate Management Service.
The Mandate Management Service will record details of
your PayTo Payment Agreement to ensure that payments are
processed in line with this agreement and to notify ANZ of the
creation of this agreement.
ANZ will notify you of the creation of a PayTo Payment
Agreement and you will need to review and action the request
in the usual way (please refer to “Creating a PayTo Payment
Agreement, above), except the timeframe for an authorisation
request under this paragraph will be 5 days.
Authorisation requests that are not actioned by you within 5
days of being sent to you, will be rejected by ANZ. Rejected
authorisation requests will be considered declined PayTo
Payment Agreements.
If you authorise the PayTo Payment Agreement referred to in this
paragraph, all the other clauses in this section (”PayTo Payment
Agreements”) will apply to that PayTo Payment Agreement.
PayTo Payment Instructions
Once a PayTo Payment Agreement has been authorised by you
(and is not paused):
PayTo Payments are processed through the New Payments
Platform.
102
Payments made under a PayTo Payment Agreement will be
subject to any associated terms, conditions and codes of
practice that apply to PayTo (for example payment processing
timeframes and dispute processes).
ANZ will process payments as instructed by the Payee, via
their financial institution or payment processor in connection
with a PayTo Payment Agreement once it is authorised by you.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient
funds available to meet the requirements of all PayTo
Payment Agreements you have authorised and which remain
active. If a payment instruction received by ANZ is unable
to be processed due to an issue with your account (such as
insufficient funds), the Payee, via their financial institution or
payment processor, can re-attempt the payment instruction.
ANZ will not be liable for any loss that you suffer as a result of
your account having insufficient funds.
ANZ’s Rights and Responsibilities
ANZ will accurately reflect any instruction you provide to us in
connection with a PayTo Payment Agreement in the Mandate
Management Service.
We may, in our discretion, delay acting on or decline to act
on any of your instructions in relation to your PayTo Payment
Agreement where we reasonably consider this necessary to
protect us or you from suffering financial loss (e.g., as a result
of suspected fraudulent activity on the account).
If you or we close an account that is linked to a PayTo Payment
Agreement, we may cancel that agreement. In this event,
ANZ will not be liable for any loss you suffer if you breach any
agreement you have with the Payee.
ANZ’s Liability Under PayTo
In addition to and without limiting any other clause in these
conditions, ANZ will not be liable for any loss that you suffer as a
result of, or in connection with the following:
(a) any payments processed by the Payee in accordance with the
terms of a PayTo Payment Agreement you have authorised;
(b) any payments processed by the Payee outside the payment
frequency you have authorised;
(c) any payments processed by the Payee that do not reflect
the amount you owe the Payee (but which are within
any “Maximum” amount specified in the PayTo Payment
Agreement);
(d) acting on any instruction from you in relation to your PayTo
Payment Agreement;
(e) acting on your request to transfer a Payment Agreement to
an account held at another financial institution;
103
(f ) your failure to respond within the relevant time period to
any notice or instruction from us;
(g) acting on a notice or an instruction from the Mandate
Management Service, a Payee (via their financial institution
or payment processor) in relation to you or a PayTo Payment
Agreement,
unless such loss is directly caused by a processing error by ANZ,
or ANZ’s negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct or mistake.
ANZ is not liable for any consequential loss or damage you suffer
as a result of using PayTo, other than due to any loss or damage
you suffer due to ANZ’s or its officers’, employees’, contractors’ or
agents’ negligence or in relation to any breach of a condition or
warranty implied by law in contracts for the supply of goods and
services and which may not be excluded, restricted or modified
at all or only to a limited extent.
PayID Conditions
A PayID® is an identifier chosen by you that can be used instead
of your BSB and account number, as set out below.
You may be able to create an optional PayID by linking your
eligible ANZ account to an eligible PayID type (such as your
mobile number, email address or ABN (if eligible). A PayID linked
to your ANZ account can be used by others to:
send payments to you, where they are permitted to do so by
their financial institution; and/or
take payments from you, where you have authorised
permission to do so (such as a PayTo Payment Agreement),
through the New Payments Platform.
You must own or have authority to use any PayID you create and
to link it to your ANZ account, and we may require proof of this.
You (or someone authorised by you) will be able to view details
of your PayID and may be able to create, update, or close a PayID
linked to your eligible ANZ account through Internet Banking,
or in any other way we make available. We may rely on any
instruction received from a person authorised to manage PayIDs
for your account.
Only one account can be linked to a specific PayID at a time.
Once a PayID is created and linked to your account, it may not
be used in relation to any other account with us or with any
other financial institution, as the PayID service does not support
duplicate PayIDs. You can create multiple PayIDs and link them
to an eligible account, provided that each PayID is unique.
Your PayID must be associated with a name (your PayID Name)
which reasonably represents you. When you create a PayID, ANZ
will generally use the account name of your linked account as
PayID is a registered trademark of NPP Australia Limited.
104
your PayID Name. By creating a PayID, you agree that your PayID
Name may be shown to anyone who looks up your PayID (for
example, to send a payment to you or take a payment from you).
You can generally transfer a PayID to another eligible account that
you own (including an account with another financial institution).
You will need to tell us that you want to transfer the PayID through
Internet Banking or in any other way we make available. Once the
PayID is linked to your new account, payments using the PayID will
be sent to, or taken from, that account.
If you are transferring your PayID to another financial institution,
they may also require you to take steps to complete the transfer.
We will complete a request to transfer or close a PayID within 24
hours. However, if you are transferring a PayID to another financial
institution, you will also need to request that financial institution
to link the PayID to your account with that financial institution
and the other financial institution may take longer to process
the request. If the other financial institution does not complete
the transfer within 14 days, the transfer will be deemed to be
ineffective and your PayID will remain linked to your current
account. You may need to start the transfer process again.
Your PayID will remain linked to your existing account until the
transfer to the other financial institution is complete.
When transferring a PayID, you are responsible for any associated
updates required by you such as updating any PayTo Payment
Agreements established by you using this PayID.
You must update or close your PayID if you:
change the mobile number or email address you are using as
your PayID;
no longer have authority to use that PayID; and/or
no longer have authority to link that PayID to the relevant
account.
You must tell us if;
your PayID Name no longer reasonably represents the account
holders name;
any other PayID information changes; and/or
you are no longer authorised to use the relevant linked account.
We monitor the use of PayIDs and confirm regularly that they
remain correct. We may lock or close your PayID if:
we become aware of suspicious activities relating to your
PayID or your linked account, or we suspect that it has been
used for fraudulent purposes, or
you cannot verify that you continue to be authorised to use
your PayID, or
105
your PayID has not been used or validated for 3 years or more,
or
someone attempts to register the PayID for another account,
we are unable to contact you, and your PayID has been
inactive for 6 months or more, or
you close your linked account or cease to be authorised to
operate the account.
When your PayID is locked, it cannot be updated or used to
send payments to you or take payments from you, and you may
be prevented from transferring it to another account. It may
also be closed.
We may require you to re-confirm that you have authority to use
a PayID at any time. If there is a dispute about who has authority
to use any PayID you have created, we will contact you and may
ask you for additional proof of your authority. If you are unable
to provide that proof within the time limit we specify, your PayID
may be closed or linked to an account held by another person.
If your PayID changes or is closed, you are responsible for
informing those who send payments to you or take payments
from you using the PayID.
When your PayID is changed or closed:
The PayID may be registered by another user if they can
demonstrate they have the right to use it, and payments using
this PayID will then be made to the other users account; and
Payment agreements (such as PayTo Payment Agreements)
will be paused or cancelled, and you will remain responsible
for any applicable contractual obligations.
When we may not allow you to create a PayID
We may not to allow you to create a PayID if:
your account is unable to use the New Payments Platform, or
you cannot verify that you have authority to use the PayID or
the relevant account, or
we become aware of suspicious activities relating to the
account, or
electronic equipment or systems malfunction or are otherwise
unavailable for use, or we believe that their quality or security
have been compromised, or
we believe your access to PayID may cause loss to the account
holder or to ANZ.
Your Responsibilities
In addition to the other responsibilities set out above:
when using your PayID you must ensure that the correct PayID
details are provided and that the PayID is owned by you; and
106
you must immediately notify ANZ if you become aware of
any suspicious and/or fraudulent activity in connection with
your PayID.
Who will receive your information and how is it used
By creating a PayID, you consent to us collecting, storing, using
and disclosing information about you (including your PayID,
your PayID Name and your account number) to NPP Australia
Limited, the operator of the PayID service. You also consent to us
and/or NPP Australia Limited sharing this information with other
financial institutions, BPAY® Pty Ltd and their service providers to
allow the PayID service to operate, including for example:
for users of the PayID service to make payments to you or
create PayTo Payment Agreements with you and to process
authorised payments from your account; and
for other reasonable activities, such as tracing lost transactions,
investigating fraud or where required by law.
When someone searches for your PayID or uses your PayID to
send a payment to you or take a payment from you, they may
see your PayID Name (but not your other account details).
The collection, use and disclosure of information about you is
also governed by the ANZ Privacy Policy available at anz.com.
