Expert review

You can link an ANZ Visa Debit Card to a range of ANZ everyday transaction accounts. It’s not a prepaid card that you need to load with money, the card allows you to make purchases in stores and online all around the world with your own money directly from your linked ANZ bank account. You can also use the card to make cash withdrawals from ATMs.

The ANZ Visa Debit Card comes with Visa payWave, so you can tap and go for purchases less than $100 without entering your PIN. You can also link the card to digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay and use your phone to make purchases, instead of the actual plastic debit card.

The fees charged depend on the ANZ account that you’re linking the card to. A few ANZ accounts you can link your debit card with include the ANZ Access Advantage Account for personal customers, or the the ANZ Access Basic Account for concession card holders.

Key features

No annual fees

Unlike a Visa credit card, you are not charged an annual or monthly fee for the ANZ Visa debit card.

Use wherever Visa is accepted

This debit card can be used wherever Visa is already accepted. That includes for purchases made online and over the phone. It also lets you shop and make withdrawals securely when travelling overseas.

Visa payWave

Visa payWave is a feature that allows you to make in-store purchases that total $100 or less without having to swipe your card. If the value is above $100, you can still use this feature but you will have to enter your pin.

It keeps your money secure

The Visa debit card provides you with ANZ Falcon, embedded security microchips and SecureCode. ANZ Falcon is a 24/7 anti-fraud protection that will attempt to get in touch with you or block transactions when account activity appears to be unusual. Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode is a free service for online shopping that gives you added protection against unauthorised use of your card at participating merchants.

Money back guarantee

Any losses suffered from fraudulent activity from your debit card will be refunded to you, provided that you did not contribute to the loss and that you notify ANZ as soon as you suspect fraud.

Unlimited ATM use

Not only can you use your linked Visa debit card to make enquiries and withdrawals at ANZ ATMs, it can be used at any Australian ATM with no charge from ANZ. The network provider may impose their own charges for its use.

Overseas transaction fee of 3%

For purchases and transactions made with the Visa debit card in a foreign currency you will be charged 3% of the transaction value.

Overseas $5 ATM withdrawal fee

The ANZ Visa debit card can be used at international ATMs for balance enquiries and cash withdrawals. For each of these transactions you will have a $5 fee charged to your linked account.
