Bank account protection

When it comes to bank account and card security, keeping your personal details and sensitive banking information safe is our number one priority.

How we protect you

We’re always working behind the scenes to equip our systems with the latest security measures. Here are some examples:

Fraud detection system and payment delay

Our fraud and scam detection system monitors your transactions for suspicious activity.

To help safeguard your money, we may temporarily delay certain payments. During this time, we encourage you to double check the recipient’s details.

Contact ANZ immediately if you think you’ve been scammed.

Report suspicious activity | ANZ

If you’re happy to proceed with your payment there is no need to do anything, your payment will generally be released soon.
