How to Call ANZ From Abroad
9/2/2026
Quick answer: For general questions, card issues, or suspicious activity while overseas, call ANZ's international line at +61 3 9683 9999, staffed 24/7. For a lost or stolen card specifically, use +61 3 8699 6955 instead, also 24/7.
ANZ's overseas numbers skew toward security, not general enquiries
Unlike CommBank or Westpac, which publish a broad overseas banking line, ANZ's dedicated "international services" page is built almost entirely around card and account-security situations: lost cards, suspicious activity, and login access problems. There's no separate general-enquiries overseas line beyond the main international number, so that's the one to use for anything urgent while you're abroad. For non-urgent questions, the ANZ app is usually faster.
