Over one day you can pay out up to $60,000, but no more, through self-selected FastNet Classic payment services - FastCheques, automatic payments, bill payments, international money transfers and payments to credit card payees (excluding ASB credit cards), or combinations of these payments.

One screen shows the up-to-the-second balance for all your ASB accounts, including credit cards.

View the details of your latest transactions or look back over 24 months for your ASB accounts and 6 months for your ASB credit cards.

You can also download the information directly to software applications such as, Microsoft Money, Intuit Quicken, EasyBooks, or MS Excel.

Use Statement Stopper to control whether or not you receive printed statements through the mail. As explained in the section above, you'll still have the option to read and download this information through internet banking. Statement Stopper terms and conditions apply.

All you need is the account number of the person you want to pay. It can be with any New Zealand bank.

Payments to ASB or Bank Direct accounts that you make before 10pm will be deposited straight away. All others will be made on the following business day. To schedule a future payment, just use the bill payment service rather than FastCheque.

This service is ideal for the bills you pay regularly that are a different amount each time. All you need is the account details for the person or company, and once you've set them up they're ready to use next time.

It's faster and cheaper than having to write, sign and post all those cheques each month.

These are ideal for your regular payments that are the same amount each time, such as rent and gym memberships. All you need is the name and number of their account. It can be with any New Zealand bank.

See exactly how much you have repaid, the interest rate, the next payment date, and more. The details are updated each time you make a payment.

You can do this between any of your ASB accounts, including credit card accounts. The money is immediately available in the new account. And because you're not paying out to other people, there is no daily limit on the amount.

To help you easily identify your different bank accounts in FastNet Classic, you can choose to rename your account names. So, you could call your FastSaver 'Carsaver'. Or set up a dedicated 'Fiji Fund'. It's easy. Just select 'Account names' under the 'Personal Details' menu. Then any names you update will show throughout FastNet Classic in place of the standard product name.

Change your internet banking password, update your contact details including your email address, and more - at any time you choose.

My Messages

The My Message service is a simple and secure two-way message service that can only be accessed through FastNet Classic.

Here you can send secure messages about your account and other banking-related queries direct to ASB. We’ll reply within 48 hours.

You can also set up to receive notifications when you receive a new message.  The notification can be sent to either an email address or via text to a mobile phone

Set a budget

It's always a good idea to know where your money is going and where you may be able to cut your spending in order to save for the things you want. In FastNet Classic under "My Money", you can set yourself a budget using the "Budget Calculator". All you will need to do is enter your income and expenses, then it will total it all up and tell you what cash you have remaining. It even breaks down your expenses as a percentage of total spend, giving you a better idea where all your money is going.

Track your spending

“Track My Spending” is an easy to use budgeting tool that shows you where you are spending your money.  It lets you code the items in your online bank statements into categories and then view charts showing where you’re spending your money.  It also shows month by month how much money you’ve got coming in and how much is going out.

View your True Rewards Dollars balance and use them to shop online. You can see your balance as you shop and it updates as soon as you make each purchase.

Without having to enter your personal and contact details, you can:

• Open a new savings, transaction or investment account for yourself.
• Apply for a new credit card or to change your limit.
• Enquire about a home or personal loan.
• Get a quote on home, contents, vehicle, loan or travel insurance.
• Apply for an ASB Securities share trading account.

Send funds overseas via an International Money Transfer (IMT) using real-time foreign exchange rates. The money will be debited immediately from your nominated bank account.

Order foreign cash, travellers cheques or a foreign draft. Your nominated account will be debited immediately using real-time foreign exchange rates and 2 business days later your foreign exchange will be ready for you to collect from your selected ASB branch.

^{ASB Foreign Exchange Terms and Conditions apply. Fees apply.}

For all your tax payments, just enter your IRD number, the tax type and the end date for the period you are paying. It's that simple, and you can arrange these payments up to 12 months in advance.

Store your important information in one place

It can be frustrating not being able to find the information you want, when you need it. The Online Vault provides you with a convenient, central place to store your information. This information is visible only by logging into FastNet Classic. The Vault can be found under "Personal Details" in FastNet Classic.  Find out how it works.

Favourite ATM Withdrawal

If you regularly use ATMs you can now save you favourite withdrawal in FastNet Classic. Once you have setup your favourite withdrawal you can save time at the ATM by selecting this option from the ATM menu. For example, if you regularly withdraw $20 from your cheque account with a receipt, this can be set as a favourite.

Mobile Banking Services

Do your banking on the go and keep track of your accounts at your convenience by setting up Txt Banking, Txt & Email Alerts and Mobile top-up following the steps on FastNet Classic. You can add and delete services at anytime.
