Electronic verification of identity

We want to make things easier for you and electronic verification does just that. It’s a simple way to confirm your identity online without needing to visit a branch.

Why we need to verify your identity

We need to do this so we can comply with laws of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing.

Key features

Quick and easy

On-screen and audio prompts will help you complete the process in three to five minutes, all from your compatible mobile device.

No need to visit a branch

All you need is a compatible mobile or smart device and you can complete your ID verification from the comfort of your home or office.

How to use eVerify

To use eVerify, ANZ’s electronic identity verification service, you must:

  • Be over 18 years of age
  • Hold a current New Zealand driver’s licence or New Zealand passport
  • Have a compatible mobile or smart device (iOS operating system 7 or above, or Android™ operating system 5 or above).

Terms apply, see important information.

It only takes a few minutes

  1. Following a conversation with us, you’ll receive an email from IDkit (on behalf of ANZ). If you do not see the email in your inbox, please check your spam/junk folder.
  2. From a mobile or smart device, click the link in the email which will take you to our secure identification portal, eVerify. You must launch eVerify from a compatible device, as you’ll need a camera to complete photo and video identification. If you launch eVerify from a PC or laptop, a QR code will be displayed. Using your mobile device, scan the QR code to continue with the eVerify process.
  3. You’ll be asked to take a photo of your ID and review your personal details.
  4. Then you’ll take a short selfie video, so we can match it to the photo on your ID.
  5. Once this is all completed, you can close the window.

Handy tips for electronic verification identity

  • Don’t wear glasses or sunglasses when taking your selfie video
  • All four corners of your ID document should be clearly displayed and not obstructed in the photo you take of your ID
  • Double check that your personal information, like name and date of birth, are correct before submitting.

Why you might see an error

  • Your verification link may have expired. You’ve only got three days from receiving the link to verify your identity. If the link has expired, please contact us.
  • If you use an Apple device on a non-Safari browser. Please use Safari to access the email link.
  • If your device is not supported, you will need to use a newer Apple or Android device.
  • Your ID isn’t recognised or accepted. You’ll need to use a valid New Zealand driver’s licence or New Zealand passport and ensure the camera on your mobile device can fully capture it.
