Overseas transactions

Overseas ATM fees

Withdrawals made internationally using your ASB ATM or EFTPOS card through the PLUS network or through a Commonwealth Bank of Australia Autobank machine are charged an overseas ATM fee of NZ$5.00. No other transaction fees apply to these withdrawals. There are no exemptions to this fee.

Offshore service margins

In the following section the terms 'ASB margin', 'ASB retail exchange margin', 'conversion rate', 'offshore service margins' and 'Visa international service assessment' are as defined in ASB's ATM cards, EFTPOS cards and FastPhone terms and conditions of use.

All cash withdrawals made at an overseas ATM using your ASB ATM or EFTPOS card will either first be converted into US dollars and then into New Zealand dollars or converted directly from the currency in which the cash withdrawal was made into New Zealand dollars at the applicable conversion rate.

Offshore service margins of 1.1% are added to the converted New Zealand dollar amount of each cash withdrawal made using your ASB ATM or EFTPOS card at an overseas ATM, excluding those withdrawals made using Commonwealth Bank of Australia ATMs.

The offshore service margins comprise a Visa international service assessment of 0.85% imposed on ASB by Visa and passed on to you, and an ASB margin of 0.25%.

The converted amount and the offshore service margins will appear on your statement.

For overseas cash withdrawals made using Commonwealth Bank of Australia ATMs an ASB retail exchange margin of 0.7% is included in the conversion rate by ASB. The total converted amount (including the ASB retail exchange margin where applicable) will appear on your statement.

Cheques/drafts drawn on overseas banks

  • Cheques/drafts drawn on overseas banks, which we receive for deposit into foreign currency deposit accounts, are subject to a hold period of 21 business days.
  • This period may vary from time to time without notice. At its discretion, ASB may pay interest on the cheque/draft prior to this hold being removed.
  • However an exchange rate cannot be quoted on the proceeds of the cheques/drafts during this hold period.
  • ASB customers are liable for all costs and charges incurred for a dishonoured foreign cheque/draft, including without limitation, reimbursing immediately to ASB the principal amount, interest, any exchange differences, ASB charges, overseas charges and any other reasonable costs and charges incurred by ASB.
  • Available funds are not necessarily cleared funds.
  • Accordingly, ASB retains the right to claim back, for an unlimited period of time, all funds paid out on foreign cheques and drafts deposited into foreign currency deposit accounts.

Foreign cheques/drafts sent on collection

  • At its discretion, ASB may require foreign cheques/drafts to be sent on collection.
  • Collections have a processing period of approximately six weeks.
  • The processing bank may make a variable charge, which is beyond our control.
  • These drafts do not accrue interest until the proceeds have been confirmed as credited to the nominated ASB account.
