Pay people and bills

One-off, same-day or future-dated transfers of money between your ANZ accounts, like transfers between your everyday transactional and savings accounts.

One-off, same-day or future-dated payments for a set amount to a particular person or organisation, like paying an electrician invoice. You can also use bill payments to make payments to your ANZ accounts or to any accounts you may have at another bank.

Scheduled payments (e.g. weekly, fortnightly, monthly) for a set amount to a particular person or organisation, like paying your rent. You can also use automatic payments to pay yourself, like a regular deposit into your savings account each pay day.

Regular payments that you’ve agreed to for ongoing services, such as power, a gym, or insurance. Direct debits allow a person or organisation you’re paying, called the ‘initiator’, to take money directly from your account. The amount can vary each time.

A feature of the ANZ goMoney mobile app that allows you to make a payment to another ANZ customer who is registered for Pay to Mobile using just their mobile phone number.

One-off payments directly from your bank account to a store, business or merchant using goMoney.

Take extra care when entering payment details. Pause to think if you could be caught up in a scam. Double check the amount and the account number before confirming a payment. 

For payments within New Zealand, the account name entered isn’t checked that it matches with the account number. 

If you make a mistake: 

• If you know the person or company you’ve paid (e.g. you’ve paid the wrong electrician), it’s best to contact them yourself and ask them to return the money.
• If you don’t know who you’ve sent money to (e.g. you’ve entered the wrong account number), call us immediately on 0800 269 296. We may be able to help by contacting the other bank or the other ANZ customer you’ve paid. The account owner needs to agree to return the money, and a credit retrieval fee of $25 may apply even if unsuccessful.

We can’t stop a payment if you make a mistake, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get the money back. We’re not required to get involved in disputes between you and anyone receiving your payment but will help if we can.

To avoid your account becoming overdrawn (and incurring unnecessary fees) it’s a good idea to set up electronic payments to come out a day or two after pay day – not the same day as you get paid. See Payment processing times for more information.
