ANZ extends Apple Pay offering with eftpos choice

News Release
18 January
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ABN 11 005 357 522
ANZ today extends its Apple Pay offering, which gives its Access Advantage Visa debit card
customers the option to choose cheque or savings accounts via eftpos with Apple Pay.
From today, millions of ANZ’s debit cardholders can now choose eftpos when paying with
Apple Pay on an iPhone or Apple Watch. This provides the ability to make purchases and
withdraw cash at the checkout of participating merchants when customers choose cheque or
savings.
ANZ Customer Engagement Lead Kath Bray said: “ANZ is continually looking for ways to
improve our customers’ payment experiences and this gives our three million Access
Advantage Visa debit cardholders more choice when making payments using Apple Pay.
“Customers will still enjoy the same high level of convenience and security they have
become used to with Apple Pay and eftpos,” Mrs Bray said.
eftpos Managing Director, Stephen Benton, said: “eftpos research shows payment choice is
hugely important to customers and we’re excited ANZ debit cardholders will for the first time
have the option to select eftpos to make a transaction from their CHQ or SAV account with
Apple Pay.”
Security and privacy is at the core of Apple Pay, which is transforming mobile payments with
an easy, secure and private way to pay that’s fast and convenient. When customers use an
ANZ debit card with Apple Pay, the card numbers are not stored on the device, nor on Apple
servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely
stored in the Secure Element on the device. Each transaction is authorised with a one-time
unique dynamic security code.
Apple Pay is easy to set up and users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits
offered by credit and debit cards. In stores Apple Pay works with iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and
later, and Apple Watch.
