Personal foreign currency accounts

A Foreign Currency Account is a New Zealand bank account that is held in a currency other than New Zealand Dollars (NZD).

A Foreign Currency Account may be an ideal solution if you:

ANZ offers Foreign Currency Accounts in most major currencies and may also consider minor currencies on request.

We have three types of Foreign Currency Accounts. The suitability of account type comes down to what you require the account for and how immediately you may require access to your deposits.

ANZ Personal Foreign Currency Transaction Account

This account is designed for customers who regularly transact in foreign currency, generally making more than one payment per month from the account.

ANZ Personal Foreign Currency Investment Account

This account is designed for customers who have surplus foreign currency deposits, do not make regular payments, may require immediate access to their funds, and would like to earn a premium rate of interest.

ANZ Personal Foreign Currency Term Deposit

This is a fixed term investment designed for customers who do not require immediate access to their funds, and would like to ensure that a set rate of interest is paid on deposit balances.

Transaction and other fees may apply. All fees are subject to change. Credit interest is not always payable on all currencies and is subject to minimum credit balances and interest rate tiers as determined by ANZ and may be altered at any time by ANZ. For more information, refer to the ANZ Foreign Currency Account terms and conditions.
