You should check first to ensure that you and your business meet ANZ’s eligibility requirements first:
- Use of account. This product is available for an Australian business only. ANZ does offer separate online savings accounts for personal use.
- Residency requirements. Applicants must be permanent residents of Australia, and the business must be operating inside of Australia with all supporting documentation.

Documentation
Certain documentation will also be necessary in order for ANZ to be able to complete your request for a business savings account:
- Tax file number. Your Australian tax file number (TFN) or exemption code will help to ensure that ANZ is withholding the correct amount of tax on your interest earnings.
- Identification. If you are not already an existing ANZ customer they will need to verify your identity with a photo identification document and other paperwork. The same applies for any joint applicants you may have.
- Business number. You will be asked to provide your Australian Business Number (ABN) in order for the application to be processed.
What happens next?
You will be notified immediately of the receipt of your application along with a reference number that can help you to track it. If ANZ needs further proof of your identity they may ask that you visit a local branch with other documentation. Once your application has been approved, you will be given the details through an email.
For what period is the introductory offer available on business online saver accounts?
You can receive a bonus interest until offer ends, after that date it will revert back to the standard variable interest rate.
Hi There,
Does the bank charge any fees if my business online saving account balance is lower $5000?
cheers,

Hi Ying,
Thanks for your question.
ANZ doesn’t charge any fees if your balance is lower than $5,000, you just lose the bonus interest for that month.
Cheers,
Shirley
