Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
- MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Delays: If your SMS verification code is delayed when submitting a secure advisory inquiry, ensure your mobile network is stable or use the ANZ Shield app to generate an instant offline code.
- Browser Errors (Cache/Cookies): If the adviser booking form fails to load or loops continuously, clear your browser cache and cookies, or try opening the link in a Private/Incognito window.
- Locked ID/Account Suspension: If you trigger a security lock on your CRN while trying to access secure wealth portals, use the Forgot Password function or call ANZ support immediately to verify your identity and unlock your profile.
Pro-Tip: To maximize the value of your initial consultation, download and complete an ANZ budget planner spreadsheet beforehand. Having your current assets, liabilities, and exact superannuation balances ready can help reduce time spent on administrative questions during your meeting.
