ANZ launches tap and pay app

Australia’s ANZ has launched a mobile payments app, enabling their customers to use their mobile phone for tap and pay purchases and to withdraw money from contactless-enabled ATMs.

Currently available only to Android smartphone users, ANZ Mobile Pay allows customers to virtually access their ANZ Visa, American Express credit or Visa debit card at contactless retail locations around the world. The app allows customers to pay with three payment options: Wake to Pay, Launch to Pay and Passcode to Pay, with transactions over $100 requiring a PIN.

Matt Boss, ANZ managing director products and marketing, said: “This new app is another demonstration of ANZ’s commitment to providing customers with innovative solutions to make their lives easier. ANZ Mobile Pay delivers a payments solution for our customers to help them take full advantage of the rapidly changing digital environment we live in.

“Given Australians are already the most prolific users of contactless payments in the world, and the fact that Android is a major player in the local smartphone market, we believe ANZ Mobile Pay will be a popular addition for many of our customers.”

Once installed, customers just need to tap their card against their phone, then enter their date of birth and mobile number, and finally choose their preferred payment option.
