First job

Congratulations, you've landed your first job! Which means your first pay is probably on the way too.

Are you job ready?

 

Do you need a bank account to get paid?

Getting your first pay is an exciting time but you may need a bank account to receive the money. A lot of employers will only deposit your pay into a bank account and won't pay in cash so it pays to be prepared (pardon the pun).

With our ANZ Access Advantage account, you get:

  • ANZ Visa Debit card (if you're 14 or over) so you can shop instore or online, wherever Visa is accepteddisclaimer
  • You may apply for a waiver of the monthly account service fee if you're under 25 (normally $5)disclaimer
  • Check your balance on the move, if you're an existing customer, apply for new accounts and take care of your banking with the ANZ Appdisclaimer
  • Use your compatible iPhone or Android phone to pay easily and securely with your ANZ Visa Debit carddisclaimer

When you open an ANZ Access Advantage account you have the option of opening an ANZ Online Saverdisclaimer account at the same time to put your savings into, and earn some interest.

Sort out your super

Super is a way of saving for your retirement, where your employer pays part of your salary into a super account. To live the life you want, it's good to start thinking about super earlier rather than later.
