Is ANZ open on weekends?

Australian ANZ branches on Saturday

  • ANZ Australia branches are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, confirmed by the ANZ Find ANZ branch locator which shows “Closed” for both weekend days.
  • Phone banking and self-service options remain available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (ANZ Phone Directory).
  • Some ATMs remain accessible 24/7 (ANZ ATMs).

New Zealand ANZ branches on Saturday

  • ANZ New Zealand branches are also closed on Saturdays and Sundays, as shown on the ANZ New Zealand locations page.
  • Online banking and the ANZ App are accessible any day (ANZ branch page).

Sunday branch availability

  • There are no ANZ branches open on Sunday in either country (ANZ Find ANZ, ANZ New Zealand locations).
  • The ANZ branch page explicitly encourages customers to use self-service options instead of visiting a branch on weekends.
The upshot

If you need in-person banking on a Saturday or Sunday, ANZ branches are simply not an option. But phone banking and ATMs cover most routine needs.

The verdict is clear: no ANZ branch in Australia or New Zealand is open on Saturday or Sunday.

Is Saturday a business day for ANZ?

Business day definition for ANZ

  • Saturday is not considered a business day for ANZ in Australia or New Zealand (ANZ Find ANZ).
  • This means that in-person services like deposits, withdrawals, and appointments are unavailable on Saturdays.

Impact on transactions and transfers

  • Funds transferred on Saturday may not settle until the next business day (ANZ Phone Directory).
  • ANZ processes certain electronic payments on Saturdays but with delayed availability for some transfers.

Saturday processing exceptions

  • Phone banking and internet banking transactions are still possible, but settlement timing depends on the type of transfer.
Bottom line: Saturday isn’t a business day for ANZ branches. Branches only: plan ahead for weekdays. Digital users: you can still initiate transactions, but expect delays.

What this means: Saturday transactions won’t settle until Monday at the earliest.

How do I find an ANZ branch near me?

  1. Using the ANZ branch locator online

    • Go to ANZ Find ANZ for Australia or ANZ New Zealand locations for New Zealand.
    • Enter your suburb or postcode to see branch hours, services, and directions.
    • The locator shows each branch’s specific opening hours, so you can confirm if it’s open today (ANZ Find ANZ).

  2. Using the ANZ mobile app

    • Open the ANZ App and tap “Branch & ATM locator” (ANZ ATMs).
    • Use GPS to find nearby branches and ATMs, with real-time hours.
    • You can also book appointments through the app (ANZ branch).

  3. Calling ANZ customer service

    • Call 13 13 14 for general enquiries (available 8am to 7pm weekdays AEDT) (ANZ Phone Directory).
    • For internet banking support, dial 13 33 50 (24/7) (ANZ Phone Directory).
    • Customer service can confirm branch hours and help book appointments.
Why this matters

A quick check on the locator saves you an unnecessary trip. If the branch is closed, the app and phone line still connect you to banking services.

The implication: you have multiple ways to check before you travel, with the online locator being the most definitive.

How many ANZ branches are there in New Zealand?

Total number of ANZ branches in New Zealand

  • ANZ New Zealand operates approximately 160 branches nationwide, based on the branch list accessible via ANZ New Zealand locations.
  • This number includes full-service branches and limited-service outlets.

Regional distribution

  • Branches are concentrated in urban areas (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch) with some rural coverage.
  • The ANZ New Zealand locations page lets you filter by region to find the nearest branch.

Changes in branch numbers

  • The number has decreased in recent years due to digital banking growth, but exact figures are not consistently published.
  • ANZ encourages customers to use digital alternatives when possible (ANZ branch).
Bottom line: 160 branches is the working figure for New Zealand. Urban customers: you’ll likely have a branch nearby. Rural customers: the locator is your best friend to confirm hours.

The pattern: while ~160 branches exist, digital banking is reducing the need for physical locations.

What is the maximum cash withdrawal from ANZ?

ATM withdrawal limits

  • Daily ATM withdrawal limit is typically $2,000 for ANZ Australia and $1,000 for ANZ New Zealand (subject to account type) (ANZ ATMs).
  • These limits apply per card per day across all ATMs.

Over-the-counter withdrawal limits

  • Over-the-counter withdrawals at a branch can be higher with prior notice.
  • For amounts above $2,000 (Australia) or $1,000 (New Zealand), it’s best to call ahead or request via internet banking (ANZ Phone Directory).

How to increase your withdrawal limit

  • Limits can be temporarily increased by contacting ANZ via phone (13 13 14) or through internet banking (ANZ Phone Directory).
  • Large withdrawals (e.g., $10,000) require advance arrangement and identification.
Bottom line: Know your daily ATM ceiling: $2,000 in Australia, $1,000 in New Zealand. Big spenders: call ahead for higher amounts. Regular users: the ATM limit usually suffices.

The catch: standard ATM limits are set, but higher amounts are possible with advance notice.

ANZ Australia website

For customers in both Australia and New Zealand, the pattern is clear: if you need an ANZ branch open today, it must be a weekday.
