Step-by-Step Guide: Accessing Advice Online
To access digital wealth tools or request a consultation, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Open your browser and navigate to the official ANZ Website.
- Step 2: Navigate to the Investments & Super or Financial Advice section in the main menu.

Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
- MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Delays: When submitting secure inquiries, an SMS OTP may be required. If the text is delayed, check your mobile signal or use the ANZ Shield app to generate an offline verification code.
- Browser Errors (Cache/Cookies): If the advisory referral page fails to load or loops continuously, clear your browser's cache and cookies. Switching to a Private or Incognito window can also resolve rendering and timeout issues.
- Locked ID/Account Suspension: Entering the wrong password repeatedly will lock your CRN. You must use the Forgot Password link or contact ANZ customer support to verify your identity before accessing wealth portals.
Pro-Tip: Before requesting an advisory consultation online, log into ANZ Internet Banking and download your most recent account summaries and superannuation balances. Having these figures ready can help streamline the referral process.

Accessing the online calculators and submitting an inquiry for an adviser referral is completely free. Any fees for personalized financial advice or statements of advice will be discussed directly with the independent adviser during your initial consultation.
