Sometimes, you may not immediately recognise a transaction on your account or card. Check your transaction and if you think it’s unauthorised, you can dispute it. We're here to help.
Review the details of the charge. There are things you can check to jog your memory of a legitimate payment.
Pending or outstanding transactions shouldn't be disputed as we cannot investigate until the transaction has been processed.
If the charge has been processed and you still think it’s unauthorised, you can raise a disputedisclaimer and we'll investigate for you.
Sometimes the merchant name differs from the business name where you made the purchase. In the ANZ App, you can tap on the transaction to view more information including the business’s contact details, trading name and a map of their location (ideal for retracing your steps).
Or perhaps the transaction is a recurring payment or direct debit like a membership or subscription? Log in to ANZ App, tap More and then Ongoing & One-off Payments to see a list of merchants you have shared your card or account info with.
Remember, if you have an additional card holder, the transaction may have been made by them.
You may be able to resolve the following types of issue directly with the merchant. Their details are often available when you tap on the transaction in the ANZ App.
Where the transaction date is different, this may be because there can be a delay of up to seven days between your purchase date and when it’s charged to your account.
Before you dispute a transaction, we suggest waiting until the transaction is processed to your account. Investigations can only begin once processing is complete. If you think the transaction was unauthorised, temporarily block your card to help prevent further transactions being made. If a transaction was unsuccessful, it will not appear in your transaction list.
You can raise a dispute in the ANZ App once a transaction has been processed to your account.
If the amount charged to your account is different from your receipt, this could happen if a purchase is made overseas, or from a merchant that’s located overseas and the amount has been converted from another currency. Fluctuating exchange rates may also change the amount you're charged. Refunds and reversals may use different conversion rates to those used for the original transaction. Surcharges and transaction fees may also apply.
If you think the transaction is suspicious and could be fraudulent, you can temporarily block your card while you investigate. If you still don’t recognise the transaction, proceed to raise a dispute in the ANZ App as soon as possible. If you think a transaction was the result of a scam, you should contact ANZ immediately.
You can raise a transaction dispute quickly and easily in the ANZ App. Time limits apply, so it’s important you lodge the dispute as soon as you can.

Timeframes for resolving disputes about card transactions are dependent upon the Scheme rules (Visa and EFTPOS manage disputes in different ways), but most are resolved within 35 days.
While we’re investigating, we may provide you with a temporary credit to ensure you’re not disadvantaged. If this is the case, we'll notify you by letter or email, stating the temporary credit and timeframe for resolving your enquiry, depending on your payment type (eg. Visa or EFTPOS).
Where our investigations show that the transaction was in fact unauthorised, we will provide a refund direct to your account. If the merchant refunds the transaction, we’ll notify you by letter or email. Alternatively, you can let us know if you receive a refund from the merchant and we’ll close the dispute.
If your disputed transaction is investigated and declined (eg. it turns out to be a legitimate transaction), we'll be in touch to let you know.
