Default Banks - ANZ

We will be moving out to Melbourne in January and we are just about to sort out bank accounts and looking round ANZ appear to offer the best. $5 per month for unlimited transactions.

Has anyone got any feedback on ANZ, good or bad?

Thanks

Yeah they are good at taking my money, just like the rest of them. The $5 is prob one of the best deals, but there are some banks that offer free accounts if you have a certain minimum monthly balance ($500 or $1000 not to sure)

My wife works for ANZ, they are probably the best around for customer service and mortgage deals as well as normal transactions.

We've got one of those accounts. We've found ANZ to be very helpful, not flinching once at our stupid questions

Does anyone know the URL for ANZ bank? I had looked at Commonwealth bank but am being put off it.

I am assuming that ANZ are widespread in WA as they are in other states?

If you want to apply before you arrive you'll need this link (really difficult to find on the website!)

Have been using the $5 ANZ account for nearly a year. No probs at all.


This is my third Australian bank account. Only lasted 4 weeks with "Conwealth" bunch of rip off merchants. HSBC were so inefficient we got sick of them after 6mths. Talking to a customer service person based in Malaysia who cant speak fluent english just got too much in the end!

I am probably being a bit thick but how did you open the account? From what I read they seem to want you to be resident in Australia before they will allow you to open the account

In the box that says "Do you reside overseas?" click "Show me the special requirements".

Just printed out the form, filled it in and sent it to Aus by post.

They will create an account and you can deposit into it but it's not officially opened until we appear in person in Aus, within 6 weeks of arriving.

After they're happy with ID, they'll 'open' the account and we can then withdraw our cash.

I'll let you know if it works ...

That link and the main website says if you aren't an existing ANZ customer and can't come to Australia then you can't open an account from overseas.

The second box says:

Are you a new ANZ customer?

If any of the proposed signatories to the new account are not existing ANZ Australia customers, the account can only be opened if the signatories are able to personally come to Australia to be identified.

This facility is often used by international students and workers who wish to open an ANZ account prior to coming to Australia.
