I am a current ANZ bank account holder. I would like to open an account for my grandchild who is 11 months old at this time. I would be making monthly deposits of $10-15. Can additional payments be made and what would I have to bring to the bank to open that account. Thank you for your help. Cheers Margret

Hi Margret,


This is a lovely idea for your grandchild! You’ll need to be able to verify their identity to open the bank account, such as their birth certificate.
