ANZ Secure

What you can do to protect your banking

• Keep passwords, PINs and security codes secret
  Don’t write them down, never disclose them to anyone (even ANZ or police), and take care not to let anyone see them (e.g. by shielding your PIN at ATMs). Make PINs and passwords hard to guess, change them regularly and make them different from other PINs and passwords. Try a passphrase, sentences make the best passwords because they are easy to remember.
• Keep your Voice ID safe
  You must not record your Voice ID identification phrases, such as your passphrase; or let someone else record their voiceprint against your customer number.
• Only shop online at places you trust
  Shop with reputable, trusted companies – beware of online sites you’ve never heard of. Never save credit card details or passwords at online shops or set your browser to remember or auto-complete password or other details. Only buy at sites that have SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption (the URL will start with HTTPS, not HTTP, and you’ll see a locked padlock icon).
• Keep your devices secure
  Keep them locked when not using them, never leave them unattended when you’re logged into ANZ Internet Banking or ANZ goMoney – always log off when you’re finished, and keep anti-virus software and operating systems updated. Never use public computers or wifi (e.g. at libraries or cafes) for your banking as they may not be secure. Only install apps from the App Store or Google Play.
  
• Watch out for scams
  Delete emails from people or organisations you don’t know and never click on a link to ANZ Internet Banking in an email - always type anz.co.nz into your browser. Never enter your password into 3rd-party websites or pages you’ve accessed by clicking on a link. Even emails that look legitimate can be scams, so stay up to date.
• Mobile banking and mobile wallets
  Be careful if other people have access to your device – don’t enable fingerprint, face or other biometric identification access to your device or in your goMoney settings if someone else’s fingerprint, face or other biometric identification is stored on your device, and don’t enable mobile wallet cards on a shared device. Only set up mobile wallet cards on your device if you are the cardholder or additional cardholder. If you sell or give your device to someone else, remember to remove wallet cards from your mobile wallet and uninstall ANZ goMoney first.

What you should do

Check your accounts regularly:

• Regularly check your statements for transactions you don’t recognise. Check your transactions against receipts to make sure you've actually made them and they are for the correct amount.
• Regularly check your account balances. If your balances aren’t what you expect, check to see why.
• Stay up to date with the latest information, including current scams and threats.
