International students - Simple banking, so you can focus on your study

Being an international student is challenging enough without worrying about money. That's why ANZ helps you every step of the way with great student deals.

Studying in Australia?

You've come to Australia to obtain an education and hopefully have some fun along the way, or perhaps you are already here. The choices you make today can help you get the most out of your student days.

Let ANZ make banking simple and easy for you. Not only will you be free to concentrate on your studies, you'll also have access to a range of special offers and products designed especially for you.

Everyday banking

An everyday bank account is helpful for accessing your money quickly and conveniently.

If you're a full time student at an Australian educational institution ANZ Access Advantage has no monthly account service fee and you get unlimited free withdrawals via ANZ branches, ANZ ATMs, EFTPOS, ANZ Phone Banking and ANZ Internet Banking.1

If you are 18 years or over, you might also be interested in opening an ANZ Everyday Visa Debit. This gives you access to your money plus the convenience of access to Visa. If you are a full time student at an Australian educational institution you are also eligible for a 50% discount on the monthly fee.

Saving for your goals

You might have some savings, or maybe you're going to get a part time job. However you choose to support yourself, an ANZ Progress Saver account can help grow your cash while you study.

With ANZ Progress Saver you can earn bonus interest when you make at least one deposit of $10 into your account and don't take anything out in that month.2 What's more an ANZ Progress Saver account has no monthly account service fee and can be linked to your Access Advantage account, making it easy to transfer funds.

Great interest rate and easy access to cash

If you have $5,000 to invest, open an ANZ V2 PLUS account. You get:

  • a competitive rate of interest
  • five free ANZ withdrawals per month
  • unlimited ANZ Internet Banking transactions
  • instant access to your funds through ANZ branches, ANZ ATMs, EFTPOS, ANZ Phone Banking and ANZ Internet banking
  • no monthly account service fee3.
Grow your money with a fixed term investment
ANZ Term Deposits could be an ideal short term, low risk investment that delivers a fixed rate of interest over a fixed investment term. If you need a regular income from your deposit and don't need immediate access to your funds, then an ANZ Term Deposit could be an ideal solution for you.
Send, receive or exchange money from overseas

The ANZ Foreign Exchange Service allows you to exchange certain foreign currencies into Australian Dollars at any ANZ branch and deposit certain foreign currencies directly into your ANZ account. If you're travelling overseas you can buy foreign cash or travellers cheques over the counter or pay directly from your ANZ account. Fees and charges apply.

Friends and family overseas can electronically transfer money directly into your account from their local bank. To send money overseas simply use the banking details of the person you wish to send money to and we will electronically transfer the funds from your account to theirs. Fees and charges apply. 

You can find a conveniently located ANZ branch by using our branch locator.

1. Fees apply for non-ANZ ATM balance enquiries and withdrawals.
