Why should I use the ASB ID app?
Last Updated: 09 Nov 2026
New Zealand Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws require us to confirm the identity and address of all of our customers.
The ASB ID app lets you use your mobile phone to scan your e-passport (recommended), or New Zealand driver licence and take a scan of your face, selfie-style. That usually gives us all the information we need to confirm your identity without having to come to a branch.
You can download the ASB ID app visit the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
If you'd prefer to confirm your identity in person, please call 0800 803 804 to make an appointment at your nearest branch.
