Changes to ANZ Personal Overdraft Agreement effective 4 September 2020

We previously published a notice advising customers of updates to our ANZ Personal Overdraft Agreement and ANZ Jumpstart Overdraft Agreement, due to take effect on Friday 21 August 2020. 

The original implementation date was unavoidably delayed. The changes outlined below will now take effect on Friday 4 September 2020. 

• We’re highlighting that we may waive the Overdraft Application fee and Overdraft Management fee for a period of time at our discretion. 
• We’re including a reminder that you should keep your contact information up-to-date, and tell us as soon as possible if any of your contact details change. You can ask us to confirm or update your contact details at any time.
• We’re clarifying what contact details we’ll use if you’ve asked us to post you a statement or other letters or notices. We’ll send those documents for your Personal Overdraft or Jumpstart Overdraft (as applicable) to the last address we have for you or another address agreed with us.
• We’re also clarifying how you’ll receive your communications.
  • If you have a joint account, we can give or send a statement to only one account owner. If we do give or send a statement to only one account owner, each remaining account owner agrees they receive that statement too.
  • If more than one person is the borrower under your Overdraft Agreement, we can give or send a letter or notice to only one of those people. If we do give or send a letter or notice to only one person, each person making up the borrower agrees they receive that letter or notice too.

The updated ANZ Personal Overdraft Agreement and ANZ Jumpstart Overdraft Agreement sample documents will be available at anz.co.nz/termsandconditions from 4 September 2020. These changes apply to all existing or new overdrafts.
