What is the best credit card to have in New Zealand?

ANZ Low Rate Visa (lower interest, no annual fee)

• Annual fee: $0 – one of the cheapest cards to hold.
• Interest rate: Typically the lowest among ANZ’s main cards (check current rates on the ANZ New Zealand – Paying your bill page).
• Ideal if you sometimes carry a balance month-to-month.

ANZ Airpoints Visa (earn Airpoints Dollars)

• Earn Airpoints Dollars on every purchase – redeem on Air New Zealand flights and partners.
• Available as standard or Platinum (higher fee, better earn rate).
• Best for frequent flyers who pay off the balance in full each month.

ANZ CashBack Platinum (cashback on spending)

• Earn cashback on eligible purchases, paid annually.
• Annual fee: $150, but the cashback can offset the fee depending on spend.
• Suitable for high-spenders who want a simple, non-points reward.

MoneyHub’s New Zealand credit card comparison notes that the ANZ Low Rate Visa is the cheapest to hold, but the CashBack Platinum can return more value for those who spend over $15,000 per year and clear the balance monthly. ANZ New Zealand – Credit cards overview

Can anyone get an ANZ credit card?

Approval is not automatic even if you meet the published thresholds. The safe assumption is that a clean credit history and steady income give you a strong chance.

Age and residency requirements

• You must be at least 18 years old and a New Zealand resident. ANZ New Zealand – Credit Card Conditions of Use
• Non-residents and temporary visa holders may apply if they meet additional checks.

Income and credit check criteria

• A minimum annual income of around $20,000 is typical for standard cards.
• ANZ conducts a credit check through a credit bureau – this may affect your credit score.

Joint applications and alternative options

• Joint applications are accepted, combining both applicants’ incomes.
• For those who don’t qualify, a secured credit card or low-limit Visa Debit may be alternatives.

The pattern: Approval is not automatic even if you meet the published thresholds – ANZ does not disclose the exact credit score required. The safe assumption is that a clean credit history and steady income give you a strong chance.

How can I check my ANZ credit card balance?

Check balance via ANZ Internet Banking (website)

• Log in to Internet Banking at ANZ New Zealand – Internet Banking – your credit card balance appears immediately on the account dashboard.
• You can also view transaction history and the minimum payment due.

Check balance via ANZ goMoney mobile app

• Open the ANZ goMoney app (iOS/Android) and select your credit card account – the current balance and recent transactions are displayed.
• The app also shows your outstanding balance and minimum payment due. ANZ New Zealand – Paying your bill

Check balance by phone (IVR or live agent)

• Call ANZ Phone Banking (0800 658 044) for an automated balance check, available 24/7.
• You’ll need your credit card number and security details.
• For live help, use the general number 0800 269 296 during business hours.

Why this matters: The fastest route is the goMoney app – it’s purpose-built for quick checks. Internet Banking gives you the most detail (statements, future payments), and Phone Banking is the only option when you’re offline or overseas without data.

How can I access my ANZ credit card statements?

View and download statements in ANZ Internet Banking

• Log into Internet Banking, click the “Statements” tab – statements are listed by month for each account.
• You can view, download, email, or print up to seven years of statements. ANZ New Zealand – Statements, documents, and going paperless

Receive statements by email or post (paperless options)

• Default is paper statements by post, but you can switch to paperless in goMoney or Internet Banking (under Settings > Statements).
• To revert to paper statements, call 0800 269 296 or update your preferences online. ANZ New Zealand – Statements guide

Retrieve historical statements (up to 7 years availability)

• ANZ retains statements in Internet Banking for the most recent 7 years – older statements may be available on request (fees may apply).
• Statements are issued monthly for credit cards. ANZ New Zealand – Credit Card Conditions of Use

The takeaway: Going paperless is a one-click change that saves on postage and reduces risk of lost statements. But if you prefer a physical record, you can switch back just as easily.
