Changes to ANZ rates, fees and agreements

Changes to the Passbook Savings Account, Statement Savings Account and Priority Cash Management Account

We’re currently reviewing the number of account types we have available and, as part of this, we’re discontinuing the following account types:

• Passbook Savings Account
• Statement Savings Account
• Priority Cash Management Account.

If you’re an account holder on either the Passbook Savings Account, Statement Savings Account or the Priority Cash Management Account, we’re moving your account to a different account type.

The change will happen automatically on 1 July 2026. There’s nothing you need to do.

Passbook Savings Account for personal (individual) customers

Passbook Savings Accounts for personal customers will be moved to the Access Everyday Account. This won’t change your account number but there are changes to be aware of.

What’s changing:

• The account type is changing from the Passbook Savings Account to the Access Everyday Account. 
• Passbooks will no longer be available. This means we won’t use Passbooks to verify an account holder, and we won’t record withdrawals, deposits or balances into any Passbook that’s presented at the branch. You can keep making deposits and withdrawals, and get account statements which will show your transactions. If you’re a user of Passbooks, talk to us about how we can support you with this change.
• ANZ Visa Debit Cards are available with the Access Everyday Account. An ATM withdrawal fee of $0.25 per transaction will apply. See the table below for further fee detail.
• The Access Everyday Account doesn’t earn interest, so the interest rate will change from 0.05% p.a. to 0.00% p.a. Any credit interest you’ve accrued on the Passbook Savings Account up to and including the 30 June 2026 which has not yet paid, will be paid to your account when we move your account to the Access Everyday Account. You’ll see this credit interest amount in your statement.  

*The cash handling fee also applies to cash withdrawals over $5,000.

Passbook Savings Account for non-personal customers

Passbook Savings Accounts for non-personal customers will be moved to a Business Cheque Account. This won’t change the account number but there are changes to be aware of. 

What’s changing:

• The account type is changing from the Passbook Savings Account to the Business Cheque Account. 
• Passbooks will no longer be available. This means we won’t use Passbooks to verify account holders, and we won’t record withdrawals, deposits or balances into any Passbook presented at the branch. You can keep making deposits and withdrawals, and get account statements which will show your transactions. If you’re a user of Passbooks talk to us about how we can support you with this change. 
• The Monthly account fee is changing from $0.00 to $3.00.
• ANZ Visa Debit Cards are available with the Business Cheque Account. An ATM withdrawal fee of $0.25 per transaction applies. See the table below for further fee details.
• The Access Everyday Account doesn’t earn interest, so the interest rate will change from 0.05% p.a. to 0.00% p.a. Any credit interest you’ve accrued on the Passbook Savings Account up to and including the 30 June 2026 which has not yet paid, will be paid to your account when we move your account to the Access Everyday Account. You’ll see this credit interest amount in your statement. 

*The cash handling fee also applies to cash withdrawals over $5,000.

Statement Savings Account

Statement Savings Accounts will be moved to the Access Everyday Account. This won’t change your account number or how you can use this account. 

What’s changing:

• The account type is changing from the Statement Savings Account to the Access Everyday Account. 
• The Monthly account fee is changing from $2.50 to $0.00. See the table below for details.

*The cash handling fee also applies to cash withdrawals over $5,000.

Priority Cash Management Account

Priority Cash Management Accounts will be moved to the Pacific Savings Account. This won’t change your account number or how you can use the account and there is no change to your fees and charges. 

What’s changing:

• The account type is changing from the Priority Cash Management Account to the Pacific Savings Account. 
• The interest rate is changing. If you meet the minimum balance on the Pacific Savings Account, you’ll have no change to the rate you earn. For the times you don’t meet the minimum balance, you’ll now earn 0.00% p.a. See the tables below for detail.  

Priority Cash Management Account interest rates (your existing account type):

*Interest is calculated based on your end of day account balance. The account balance used on non-business days is the account balance for the previous business day.

Pacific Savings Account interest rates (your new account type):

*Interest is earned when you have an end of day account balance of $100 or more. The account balance used on non-business days is the account balance for the previous business day.
