Many people who move from the UK to Australia decide to open both an everyday bank account (similar to a current account) and a savings account before they move to Australia. ANZ offers two options for you to choose from before you move.
ANZ Access Advantage
For just AUD$5 a month you can make unlimited transactions via ANZ branches, ANZ ATMs, cheques and through EFTPOS, ANZ Phone Banking and ANZ Internet Banking. If you make frequent transactions, the ANZ Access Advantage account could be the ideal account for you.
Please note you will pay no monthly account service fee for twelve months if you open an ANZ Access Advantage.
ANZ Online Saver
ANZ Online Saver offers a high rate of interest with no minimum balance and easy access to your money. Once you have activated your account, you can simply move your funds between your ANZ Online Saver account and your linked ANZ accounts whenever you like. So it's a great option if you like to do your banking online or over the phone.
To use your ANZ Online Saver account, you must be registered for ANZ Phone Banking or ANZ Internet Banking.
