Lost or stolen cards

If your credit or debit card is lost or stolen, a quick way to report it immediately is in the ANZ App. Once you report it, we’ll cancel the card and order you a new one.

If you’re unable to access the ANZ App, you can call us and our team will put you through to someone who can help as soon as possible. Below we’ll show you how to do both, explain the card replacement process and more.

Your new card is in the mail

If you’ve reported your credit or debit card as lost or stolen, 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.

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 payments

If you've set up a 'Pay ANZ Credit Card' via Internet Banking, you'll need to delete the original and set up a new one once the new card is available. If you've set up CardPay Direct your payments will transfer over automatically.

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 wallet disclaimer

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.
