Why can’t I remove an email address?

You cannot remove an email address if you have future or recurring payment/s scheduled to it.

• For example, if you have recurring payments scheduled for a payee’s email address, that email address cannot be removed. 
• You must first cancel any scheduled payments to that email address. 

If you wish to edit a future dated or recurring payment, the request must be lodged with ANZ Internet Banking prior to 11.59pm Melbourne time on the day prior to the payment date.
