ANZ is a well-known, established name in the financial sector. As such, it allows investors to trade with confidence.
Its seamless integration with its banking customers makes it especially useful to those who use the bank for other financial services.
Add in a raft of domestic and international options as well as Qantas points, and the broker is appealing to most investors.
For those new to investing, the news and research can certainly help get you started.
On the downside though, you'll pay more for this service. ANZ is not the cheapest broker around.
ANZ Share Investing is a subsidiary of ANZ, one of Australia's largest financial institutions. The account enables Australian retail investors to buy and sell a range of listed assets.

Hi,
Is there a reason for ANZ specifically charging service fees (i.e. $19.95 for a quarter to make at least one trade) unlike many other share investing accounts offered by other companies.
Thanks!

Hi ,
When I’m Buying Australian Stock it gives me this response Rejected. Value of order is below a marketable parcel – currently $600 (excl. brokerage & fees).
I have placed 600$ worth or less than that at it keeps giving me that response
What does that mean?
October 12, 2017
Hi Rina,
You may need to consider the brokerage and fees in placing your order.
This means apart from the minimum value, you might have to add an amount that would be allocated for said fees.
It’s best to confirm this with their Customer Support should it not work.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Maria
