New card. No worries. You can activate eligible ANZ cards in the ANZ App and ANZ Internet Banking. You can set the PIN for your new card in the app too. That’s handy.

 

Activate your card

It's important to read the information we include with your credit or debit card before you activate it.

For new credit cards, please make sure you read your Letter of Offer, because by activating your card you accept the terms and conditions.

  • If you're the primary cardholder and haven't received a Letter of Offer, please give us a call.
  • If you're a secondary cardholder, you'll need to wait until the primary cardholder for your account has activated their card before you can activate your own card.
  • You will be able to setup your card PIN via the ANZ App after you have activated your card. Alternatively, you can go into a branch to setup your PIN, or visit how to set or change your PIN

For replacement cards, just so you know, your PIN will remain the same. If you have an ANZ PAYCARD or ANZ Rewards PAYCARD, your new PIN will arrive within 5-7 working days.

Tips for creating a card PIN

Things to consider when creating your new card PIN: 

  • Your PIN should not be based on information that is easily found such as your personal telephone number, birthday or other personal information, otherwise you may be liable for any loss suffered from an unauthorised transaction.
  • Choose a PIN you'll easily remember as it must be memorised and not recorded anywhere.
  • Avoid using the same PIN across different websites, applications or services, particularity when they relate to different entities.
  • PINs must be kept confidential and should not be shared or revealed to anyone.
