The higher your balance, the higher your interest rate.

Added security with ANZ Falcon

Enjoy added security provided by the ANZ Falcon fraud monitor to watch over all of your Access Visa debit card transactions. Whether you're shopping overseas or online, all transactions are automatically monitored. If ANZ notices any suspicious activity, it will attempt to contact you.

Optional overdraft and informal overdraft facility

You can add an optional overdraft up to $500 or $1,000 to your account, so you can avoid dishonour fees if your account balance goes into the negative.

If you don't wish to add an optional overdraft, ANZ also offers an informal overdraft facility. This means if you overdraw your account by less than $50, you won't be charged any fees. However, if your account becomes overdrawn by more than $50, a $6 daily fee applies (capped at 10 business days a month).

Documentation needed

If you are eligible, then continue on to your application for the ANZ Access Advantage account, which can be completed entirely online. It should take no more than 10 minutes to finish filling out as long as you have the following information readily available:

• Identification. You will be asked to confirm your identity using a primary identification document such as an Australian driver's licence, passport, birth certificate or Medicare card. If you are a minor, you can use your birth certificate along with another document such as a school-issued ID card or Medicare card.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit the application, it may take up to 2 business days for your account to be set up while ANZ verifies your identity electronically. At that point, you can begin making your monthly deposits in order to reach the $2,000 minimum needed to take advantage of the no monthly fee.
