October Announcements 2024

From 7 October 2024, the Osko daily payment limit will be removed from both ANZ Transactive — Global and ANZ Fileactive. Instead, a maximum payment value of $500 million per transaction will apply.

This limit change is in response to a growing demand for real-time payments. While the overarching payment limits will be adjusted, administrators can set individual User Approval Discretions. To view or amend an Approval Discretion for a user (including for Osko payments), please refer to the 'Cash Management Roles & Permission Settings' section in the User Permissions article in ANZ Digital Services Help.

All Osko payments will remain subject to the ANZ General Banking Conditions (including the Country Schedule – Australia and applicable Schedules) and any other limits agreed to or advised by ANZ (for example any limits as advised in file format guides or on ANZ’s ‘Digital Services Help’ web page).

For more information on Osko payments, please refer to Create Osko Payment (Australia) article.

Over the coming weeks, the Payee List menu and associated screens will be renamed to Beneficiaries, with some minor field name changes which will be reflected in the Beneficiary reports. These changes align with other ANZ digital channels and industry standards. The functionality to create, maintain and use your beneficiaries will remain the same.

In addition, we have also added Toggle Accessibility Grid to Settings from the Beneficiaries screen.

If you have been upgraded, you will see the changes to the menu and fields, as illustrated below:

Over the coming weeks, the international payments and template screens will be updated to include minor layout changes and revised field names. These changes align with other ANZ digital channels, SWIFT and ISO20022 industry standards. The functionality to create and manage your international payments will remain unchanged.

If you have been upgraded, you will see the changes to the fields below:

From 28 October 2024, ANZ is enhancing the information you receive for Fast Deposit Bag adjustment transactions applied to your ANZ Australian dollar accounts.

What is changing?

ANZ will be enhancing the statement narrative information as follows:

	Debit Adjustment	Credit Adjustment
Pre-change	TOT DEP <AMOUNT> TO ANZFD <NUMBER>	TOT DEP <AMOUNT> TO ANZFD <NUMBER>
Post-change	FROM ANZAG1234567890 <DEP1234.00 / DP123456.00 / D12345678.00> 123456	TO ANZAG1234567890 <DEP1234.00 / DP123456.00 / D12345678.00> 123456

ANZAG represents “ANZ Agent Number” followed by the 10-digit Agent Deposit Slip Number of the original Fast Deposit Bag deposit. The original Fast Deposit Bag transaction deposit amount will be represented by either DEP, DP or D followed by the amount and the 6-digit Fast Deposit Bag serial number.

This enhanced information will be available when viewing and downloading transaction details in ANZ Transactive - Global or in statement files received via ANZ Fileactive.

How will this change benefit you?

Having access to the ANZ Agent Number will make it easier to identify the original deposit details, improving your reconciliation activities.

What do you need to do to receive this information?

From 28 October 2024, this improved data will automatically be applied to all Fast Deposit Bag adjustment transactions applied to an Australian dollar account viewed in ANZ Transactive – Global or received via ANZ Fileactive.

If you import this information into an external Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or accounting software, then changes may be required in those systems to accept the updated data.
