Previous month's interest rate post here
ANZ Plus have pushed an interest rate rise through again, this time a little late but effective immediately.
Note it's an app-only offering and all customers must have a ANZ Plus and Save account open to use. Completely separate system from ANZ proper - older accounts will not show in ANZ Plus.
In my opinion a decent alternative to Up and ubank, although I did run into some customer service issues recently where chat took weeks to respond. Might be improving - not sure.
FAQs around ATM use because someone always asks:
ANZ ATMs as well as ATMx are free to use. No domestic ATM fees. Cardless withdrawal using mobile wallet with contactless reader on ATM (not tested this, though).
ANZ Plus has access to Smart ATMs in branch, including note, coin and cheque deposits (tested working). Can also withdraw including the ability to select $10 and $100 notes where stocked (tested working). No Bank@Post like other ANZ products.
Does have 3% international transaction fee. Does have $5 international ATM fee, except at overseas ANZ ATMs (such as in NZ; confirmed with a Coach however not tested).
