Whether it’s watching their savings grow or learning to manage pocket money, we have an account that may suit.

Benefits

Choose your account

Get started with an ANZ Jumpstart account

A Jumpstart account can only be opened in your child's name. A parent or guardian must open the account and proof of parent/guardian relationship is needed e.g. birth certificate or guardianship order.

A parent or guardian can be an authorised signatory on the account*. As an authorised signatory, this means:

  • You do not own the money in the account.
  • You can access the account in your own ANZ goMoney app and ANZ Internet Banking.
  • You’ll have full access to the account, except for card access.

Once opened, your child can do the following without your consent:

  • Ask us to give them sole access to their account(s) when they turn 13 years old.
  • Get cash out of the account at a branch. 
  • Close the account. 
  • Update the address and contact information on the account 

Your child can also:

  • Access the goMoney app and Internet Banking, with your initial permission.
  • Have an EFTPOS card for the account, with your initial permission.
  • Have an account with no account fees.
  • Have an account with no transaction fees.

It is important your child fully understands their responsibilities under the terms and conditions associated with access to digital banking. See our Electronic Banking Conditions and Banking Safely Guide for more information.

*Access available to children’s accounts has changed. If you do not currently have authorised signatory access to your child’s account but wish to have this added, please contact us.
