Lost or stolen cards
If your credit or debit card has been stolen or lost in an unsafe place, then you need to report it immediately via the ANZ App or by calling us. You can also temporarily block your card if you’re confident you’ve misplaced it somewhere safe. Below we’ll show you how to do both, explain the card replacement process and more.
How to report a lost or stolen card in the ANZ App
To report your card as lost or stolen card;
- Open the app and log in
- Choose the account
- Tap Manage, then Manage Card. If you can't see the card you'd like to report, swipe left under cards to see other options
- Tap on Report Card Lost or Stolen and follow the prompts.
What happens next?
Reporting your card lost or stolen in the ANZ App means it will be cancelled automatically. Your new card will then be sent to you within 5-7 working days, if you're located in Australia.

How to temporarily block your card in the ANZ App
If you’ve misplaced your card, you can block it in the ANZ App while you can take some time to find it. Unblock your card in just a few second when it’s safely back with you:
- Open the app and log in
- Choose the account or card
- Tap Manage, then Manage Card
- Tap Temporarily Block Card, then Block Card
Please note that your temporary card block might take up to 15 minutes and will not necessarily cover all transactions. You can unblock it at any time. Just repeat the steps above and tap Unblock Card.
Your new card is in the mail
If you’ve reported your credit or debit card as lost or stolen using the ANZ App or by calling us, then your replacement card is already on its way. If you’re in Australia, you should get your replacement card within 5-7 working days. If you’re overseas, we can courier the card to you at a cost of $50.
Just so you know, your PIN will remain the same. If you have an eligible card, you can update your card PIN in the ANZ App at any time. If you have an ANZ PAYCARD or ANZ Rewards PAYCARD, your new PIN will arrive within 5-7 working days.
Please notify us immediately if you're concerned your PIN has been disclosed to someone who may have unauthorised access to the new card. To do this, follow the same steps as reporting a lost or stolen card.
Getting everything set up again
Cards reported as lost or stolen are automatically cancelled. This means you'll need to reset your regular payments when your new card arrives. Here’s a handy list of the things you’ll need to do:
Update automatic credit card repayments
If you've replaced a credit card, you’ll need to update any automatic credit card repayments – such as scheduled repayments via Internet Banking or CardPay Direct – to ensure that they redirect to the new card number.
Provide new details for bill payments
If you have any recurring transactions set up – examples might include your phone bill, or subscriptions such as streaming services – then you’ll need to contact the company that charges your card and give them the details of your new card.
Update your digital walletdisclaimer
If you use your phone to make payments when you're on the go, you'll need to make sure your digital wallet has updated. If you're an existing digital wallet user, it should update automatically. If the new card isn't showing, please refer to instructions for your compatible digital wallet to see how to add it.
If you’ve set up CardPay Direct (PDF 125kB) your payments will transfer over automatically. If you’ve set up a ‘Pay Credit Card’ via Internet Banking, you’ll need to reset it once the new card is available via Internet Banking.
We've beefed up security
Your ANZ credit or debit card is protected round-the-clock by ANZ Falcon™, which alerts us to any unusual transactions. Security microchips and our ANZ Fraud Money Back Guarantee provide further protection, while Visa Secure has been specifically designed to give you extra protection when shopping online.
