Closing your overdraft facility

If you'd like to close your overdraft facility, you must first clear any outstanding amount owing on your account. You can then request to close the facility in the following ways:

  • Calling ANZ on 1800 072 250 between 9.00am and 7.00pm (AEST) Monday to Friday
  • Faxing a letter to ANZ on detailing the request
  • Visiting your nearest ANZ branch

Please note, where your facility is held in joint names, we will need authority from all account holders.

For more information about your account, please refer to the ANZ Assured and Personal Overdraft Terms and Conditions (PDF).

Your questions answered

We regularly review our products and services. As the Personal Overdraft is an older product that has not been available for sale since 4 July 2021, we’ve decided to phase it out so that we can continue to better focus on our current products for our customers.

We will provide you with a further update on the closure of overdrafts in the near future, and will notify you in writing to advise you of the new date of when we will close your overdraft where you will be required to repay the outstanding balance by that date should any balance remain.

As we are continuing to take steps to close overdrafts, existing customers should continue to pay down any remaining balance on their overdraft. We’ll be in touch to advise customers of the new closure date. However, if their credit balance is zero and there has been no outstanding balance on their overdraft for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days, we will close the overdraft at or after that time of the new closure date.

Existing customers will not be able to increase their credit limit, but can decrease their credit limit.

No, after 4 July 2021, Personal Overdrafts cannot be transferred to any other ANZ Everyday bank account.

No, from 4 July 2021, it is not possible to reinstate a Personal Overdraft that has been closed.

The Credit Facility Fee is debited to your account in arrears on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis (as applicable) from the date on which your account was opened. The fee is calculated by dividing the annual Credit Facility Fee by 366, then multiplying that figure by the number of days the facility is in effect for that relevant cycle.
