Consumer Data Right (CDR) Policy

Understanding what it means for you

If you’ve heard the term ‘Open Banking’, then you may already have an idea of what the Consumer Data Right (CDR) involves. The CDR regime was first introduced in the banking industry. The CDR is designed to give you greater control of your data to increase competition, and encourage innovation in the Australian economy.

Simply put, the CDR allows you to access, and authorise ANZ Plus to share, selected banking data for specific purposes with accredited organisations.

You can decide when to share your CDR data, what CDR data you share, and with whom.

As required by the Consumer Data Right legislation, we’ve put together this Consumer Data Right (CDR) Policy. This policy explains how we manage your CDR data and describes how you can access and correct your CDR data, or make a complaint, if needed.

To find out more, please read our Consumer Data Right Policy.

Open Banking (also known as the Consumer Data Right) means you can share your ANZ Plus data with third parties accredited by the Australian Government (known as Accredited Data Recipients). It allows you to share your ANZ Plus data with Accredited Data Recipients to help aggregate and compare your data.

We will not share your ANZ Plus data unless you have consented to share your data with an Accredited Data Recipient. In order to begin sharing your ANZ Plus data with Accredited Data Recipients you must create a data sharing arrangement.

When you create a data sharing arrangement with an Accredited Data Recipient, your ANZ Plus data will only be shared via secure channels.

There are privacy and security standards to protect your ANZ Plus data which ANZ Plus and other participating organisations (other data holders and Accredited Data Recipients) need to meet.

For more information about Open Banking and security, please refer to www.cdr.gov.au

ANZ Plus customers can share their data with Accredited Data Recipients when they meet the customer and account eligibility criteria below.

Customer eligibility

  • Customers must meet all customer eligibility criteria below:
  • Must be 18 years old or over
  • Must own at least one publicly offered banking product which is accessible online

To start sharing your ANZ Plus data, you'll need follow the steps provided by the Accredited Data Recipient who will be receiving the data. 

When you are asked to identify the data holders where you have the accounts you wish to share, and choose ANZ Plus, you will be redirected so we can authenticate you and prompt you to authorise ANZ Plus to share your data with the Accredited Data Recipient.

Before you stop sharing your ANZ Plus data, you should review your Accredited Data Recipient's policy on deleting or de-identifying your ANZ Plus data. If you are unsure of their policy, or how it may affect you, contact your Accredited Data Recipient before you stop sharing your ANZ Plus data.

  1. Go to the Profile icon.
  2. Tap on Data Sharing.
