What are the features of the ANZ Visa Debit Card?
Transaction accounts linked to a Visa debit card give you more accessibility than a typical bank debit card. When choosing between the various everyday accounts available, the type of debit card offered and the features should be a point of consideration. With ANZ, you will be getting the following 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 3.00%
For purchases and transactions made with the Visa debit card in a foreign currency you will be charged 3.00% 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.
