Remember to sign your card
The signature panel on your new credit card gives you the legal authority to use it and protects you against unauthorised transactions if it’s lost, stolen or compromised. So make sure you sign it when you first activate the card.
How come there is no Bendigo Bank time frame outlined here?
Hello Josh,
Thank you for pointing that out. :)
Bendigo application usually takes 10 minutes and waiting period is 5-10 business days. You can refer to our page about Bendigo Bank credit cards for more details and compare your options.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Correction: After online approval, ANZ takes 5 business days just to get your application to their own assessment team.
They take another 2-3 business days to make a decision on it. Then if it’s approved, it takes another 5 business days to get the card to you, and they don’t even guarantee that. So it’s actually more like 3 weeks, not 5 working days.
They told me this on the phone today. The way they have it written on the website is misleading.
Hi Maree,
Thanks for your comment and honest feedback.
As confirmed by ANZ, for credit card online application, you would usually receive a response in 60 seconds, with an online application reference number. Once you’re approved, you will receive your card and welcome kit within five business days. If you have not received any, please contact ANZ directly to inquire about the status of your application.
I hope this information has helped you in any way.

Hi How do I find out if my card has been delivered to branch without actually going in as its quite a drive
Hi Lewis,
Thanks for your question.
You may ring the bank to check whether your card is already available. Usually, if you’re applying for a credit card, once you’re approved, you need not go to the branch to pick it up. The bank will send the card right to your indicated address instead.
Cheers,

What does it mean when your application has been finalize
Hi Sam,
Thank you for your question.
For credit card applications, after you have submitted the pertinent documents to the bank and they have already reviewed them, usually, if they consider your application, they will finalise your application approval and you will soon receive your credit card.

I applied for a debit card with ANZ on the 7/16/2016 and received an email saying that my debit card should arrive within 5 business days. But it has been almost three weeks since i received anything from the bank, I check my mail and email everyday and still nothing. Any advice?
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your comment.
Just to confirm, you have applied for an ANZ Debit Visa card? If so, usually, when you’re approved, the account will be active within 2 days and the card will be delivered to your home address.
As for the ANZ credit card, usually, you would receive a response in 60 seconds, with an online application reference number. Once you’re approved, you will usually receive your card and welcome kit within five business days. If you have not received any but you’re sure you were approved, please contact ANZ directly to enquire.
Cheers,
May
