1. Explanation of terms
This is an explanation of some of the terms that
appear in your Loan Agreement.
ANZ Group
ANZ Group means ANZ National Bank Limited and its related
companies (as defined by the Companies Act 1993), including
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited in Australia.
Draw down date
When your loan, or part of it, is to be paid to you, or to your solicitor on
your behalf.
Fixed Rate Period
The length of time that your loan interest rate is to remain the same.
This only applies to Fixed Rate Loans. ANZ may alter your loan interest
rate during a Fixed Rate Period if additional interest becomes payable
as a result of any failure on your part to make a loan repayment when
it is due to be paid.
Funding Account
The ANZ account that you nominate as being the account from which
your loan repayments are to be automatically deducted.
Interest rate
The current per annum interest rate charged for your type of loan.
Interest is calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The rate may be
changed from time to time by ANZ unless your loan is a Fixed Rate
Loan. If this is the case the interest rate will normally only be altered
at the end of the Fixed Rate Period (there are some minor exceptions
– refer to the section of this booklet entitled ‘Fixed Rate Loans’). ANZ
will advise you of any change in the interest rate by public notice,
notice in ANZ branches, or by personal letter to you.
Loan Account
The ANZ account that will record the balance of your loan outstanding
at any one time.
Loan security ratio
The maximum amount that ANZ will make available to you under the
loan at any one time, measured as a percentage of ANZ’s assessment
of the then current value of the security of your loan.
2
Outstanding balance
If this is a new loan, the initial unpaid balance on your loan account
is nil. If you had an existing facility on this account, the initial unpaid
balance will be shown as the ‘outstanding balance’ in your
Loan Agreement.
Payment of loan
What amounts of your loan will be paid to you, or your solicitor, and
what amounts of your loan will be paid on your behalf in respect of
other services (full details of which are available from any ANZ branch)
supplied to you in connection with your loan.
Repayment schedule
This shows how much your loan repayments will be, the number of
your loan repayments, how often your loan repayments are to be
made, and when your loan repayments are to be made. ANZ may
require you to increase your loan repayments if the interest rate for
your loan increases, or if you miss any loan repayments. The interest
rate applicable to your loan, and your repayment amount, will be
confirmed to you shortly after the (first) draw down date and again on
final draw down if you have a Progressive Draw Down Loan.
Security
The security for your loan. ANZ may hold the security until your loan,
and any other amounts you owe or any liability you may have to ANZ,
is fully and finally repaid or discharged.
Subsidy scheme
This shows who is paying your interest rate subsidy and the amount
of the subsidy (if any) (refer to the section of this booklet entitled
‘Subsidised Loans’).
Term of loan
How long your loan is for. Your loan must be fully repaid by the end of
this time (unless otherwise agreed in writing by ANZ). The term of your
loan begins once your loan or any part of it is drawn down. The term of
your loan may be shortened if you are in default of the loan and ANZ
exercises its rights of early repayment of the loan (refer to the section
of this booklet entitled ‘ANZ’s right of early repayment’).
3
Total advances
The principal amount of your loan plus any other amounts financed
under your loan.
Type of loan
This shows whether your loan is a Standard Variable Rate Home Loan,
Fixed Rate Home Loan, Standard Variable Rate Residential Investment
Loan, Fixed Rate Residential Investment Loan, FlexiPlus Home Loan,
ANZ Personal Loan, ANZ Student Banking Loan or ANZ Graduate
Banking Loan.
1.1 Acknowledgments
Borrower
For you to sign once you have read and understood your Loan
Agreement, this booklet and any security documents, and agreed with
the Acknowledgments.
Guarantor
For your Guarantor (if you have one) to sign after receiving copies of
your Loan Agreement, this booklet and any security documents.
Mortgagor
For your Mortgagor (if you have one) to sign after receiving a copy of
your Loan Agreement, this booklet and any security documents.
Note: Your Loan Agreement has been completed from the information supplied
by you. It is ANZ’s best estimate of the cost of the loan to you. It does not take
into account any possible changes to your loan interest rate, any drawing of the
whole or part of the loan on dates different from those specified in the Loan
Agreement as the draw down date(s), any early repayment or recovery of the
whole or part of the loan, any change in your subsidy arrangements (if you have
this) or any other alterations to the terms and conditions of your loan that ANZ is
entitled to make.
4
All the repayments that you make to your loan will be deducted
automatically from your Funding Account unless some other
arrangement is agreed to in writing. If there are insufficient funds in
your Funding Account to meet the loan repayment on the agreed date,
ANZ may attempt to debit your Funding Account for a further three
consecutive business days. After the fourth unsuccessful attempt to
debit your Funding Account, ANZ may charge a missed payment fee.
ANZ may deduct any overdue repayments from any of your ANZ
accounts. Any overdue repayments must be made on demand. If you
become unable to meet your loan repayments, please contact your
local ANZ branch immediately.
Repayments will be of principal and interest (unless otherwise
specified in your Loan Agreement). Interest on your loan will be
calculated on the outstanding balance of your loan at the end of each
day based on a 365-day year. The end of the day will be the time of day
as determined by ANZ from time to time.
Interest shall be charged monthly (unless otherwise specified in your
Loan Agreement) to either your Funding Account or your Loan Account.
On the final repayment date and/or when the loan is to be fully repaid,
you will be required to pay the balance of the loan outstanding and all
other sums then owing to ANZ in connection with your loan.
All repayments made to your loan must be made in cleared funds
without any deduction.
2.1 Interest only
Please note that if you have an interest-only loan (whether partially
drawn or fully drawn), any interest will be debited to your Funding
Account and not your Loan Account.
If there are insufficient funds in your Funding Account to meet the
monthly interest charge, ANZ may attempt to debit your Funding
Account for a further two consecutive business days. After the third
unsuccessful attempt to debit your Funding Account, ANZ may instead
debit your Loan Account with the interest charge.
In the event that your loan is not being conducted to the satisfaction
of ANZ, ANZ may cancel any interest redirection on your Loan Account
and debit the interest to your Loan Account instead.
2. Repayments
5
2.2 Early repayment
You may repay all or part of your loan at any time before its due date,
but if you do, you may be liable to pay an early repayment fee plus the
early repayment administration fee. ANZ is not obligated to pay early
repayment benefits.
However, you may make a regular repayment, or make a number of
repayments which in total equal your regular payment amount, on
your Fixed Rate Home Loan at any time between the date of your
last scheduled repayment up to the date of your current scheduled
repayment, without incurring an early repayment fee.
2.3 ANZ Fixed Rate Home Loans,
ANZ Fixed Rate Residential Investment Loans
and ANZ Debt Consolidation Loans
Early repayment cost
ANZ may, according to its policy at the time of early repayment, waive
the early repayment fee when you make an early or additional partial
repayment during a Fixed Rate Period or during the term of your ANZ
Debt Consolidation Loan. ANZ current policy is to waive the early
repayment fee if the total additional repayment(s) in any year are
less than the ‘tolerance amount’. Refer to the section on ‘Prepayment
calculation’ for information on how the ‘tolerance amount’ is calculated.
Cost of the early repayment
An early repayment cost is a reasonable estimate of the loss that
may be incurred by ANZ on your early repayment because it reduces
the outstanding principal of the loan and thereby reduces the future
interest payments that ANZ will receive. This is known as the ‘cost of
interest foregone’.
The early repayment cost calculation (refer below to the ‘Prepayment
calculation’ section) is used to calculate the ‘cost of interest foregone’.
It compares the net present value of the scheduled cash flows
assuming you did not make the early repayment, with the net present
value of cash flows calculated following the early repayment.
The size of any early repayment cost that is calculated will vary
according to the size of the early repayment, the term remaining on
the current Fixed Rate Period of your ANZ Fixed Rate Loan, or the term
remaining on your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan, and the amount that
market interest rates have moved since the start of the current Fixed
Rate Period on your ANZ Fixed Rate Loan, or the start of your ANZ Debt
Consolidation Loan.
6
2.4 Prepayment calculation
When a calculation will be performed
A prepayment calculation will be performed whenever you make a
payment that exceeds the combined value of your next scheduled
payment (if it has not already been paid) and the available
‘tolerance amount’.
How the tolerance amount is calculated
ANZ Fixed Rate Loans
Current policy is that ANZ will waive the early repayment fee if the total
additional repayment(s) in any year (based on the anniversary of the
start of the current Fixed Rate Period) does not exceed the ‘tolerance
amount’, which is 5% of the loan balance at the start of the current
Fixed Rate Period, or $10,000, whichever is lesser.
However, please note that if your current Fixed Rate Period is less than
12 months, the ‘tolerance amount’ will be adjusted proportionately.
For example, for a six-month term, the waiver will apply where the
repayment(s) during the fixed interest rate period does not exceed the
lesser of 2.5% of the loan balance at the start of the current Fixed Rate
Period, or $5,000.
ANZ Debt Consolidation Loans
Current policy is that ANZ will waive the early repayment fee if the total
additional repayment(s) in any year (based on the anniversary of the start
of your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan) does not exceed the ‘tolerance
amount’, which is $500 per annum. However, please note that if the
term of your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan is less than 12 months, the
‘tolerance amount’ will be adjusted proportionately.
2.5 Calculation of the cost of interest foregone
The ‘cost of interest foregone’ is calculated by following the steps outlined
below. Please note that for the purposes of this section, the Fixed Rate
Period for an ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan is the full term of the loan. The
terms in bold are defined at the end of this section.
> Two amortisation calculations are made using the market rate at
the start of the Fixed Rate Period based on all of the scheduled
cash flow events and cash flow dates for the period between the
date of your early repayment and the scheduled end of the Fixed
Rate Period.
> The first amortisation calculation is based on the balance of the
loan immediately before the early repayment less any portion of
your next scheduled repayment that you have not already paid and
the available ‘tolerance amount’.
> The second amortisation calculation is based on the balance of the
loan immediately after the early repayment.
7
> For each amortisation, a present value is calculated of every cash
flow event, using the market rates at the date of repayment to
derive discount factors, and these calculations are added to give a
total present value.
> The total present value of the second amortisation calculation,
along with the early repayment amount, is subtracted from the total
present value of the first amortisation calculation.
> The early repayment cost is the amount by which the total present
value of the first amortisation calculation exceeds the total present
value of the second amortisation calculation.
> This is the amount you will be required to pay ANZ as the early
repayment fee.
While the early repayment fee is not calculated using the formula
provided in the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, the
early repayment recovery is intended to compensate the Bank only for
its cost and risk in providing a Fixed Rate Loan which is repaid early.
2.6 Definitions
> Amortisation means loan repayment by instalments to pay off the
debt (principal and accrued interest) by the end of a fixed period.
> Cash flow events are all transactions that will alter the loan balance,
such as expected repayments, fees, charges and interest (if
capitalised to the loan).
> Cash flow dates are the dates on which cash flow events occur.
> Discount factors are used to give present value. The interest rate
used in discount factors is the relevant market fixed interest rate
which would apply to the loan if the loan were advanced on the
early repayment date for a term equal or closest to the remaining
Fixed Rate Period of the loan.
> Market rate at the start of the Fixed Rate Period means the
wholesale interest swap rate, as quoted by ANZ, on the date of
the start of your current Fixed Rate Period for a term equal to your
Fixed Rate Period. The applicable wholesale interest swap rate
is available from ANZ or, alternatively, a close approximation is
currently published daily in The New Zealand Herald and other
newspapers.
> Market rate at the date of repayment means the wholesale interest
rate swap, as quoted by ANZ, on the date of your early repayment,
for a term up to the unexpired part of your Fixed Rate Period (as
at the date of your early repayment) but note that for terms of less
than 12 months, the relevant bank bill yield will be used instead of
the wholesale interest swap rate; and where no wholesale interest
swap rate is quoted or available for the relevant term, the rate will
be a weighted average of the closest longer and shorter quoted
terms either side of the relevant term.
8
> Present value is the value of receiving a lump sum today instead
of receiving an income stream in the future. Income received now
has a greater value than later because sums can be reinvested to
generate more income. The future income stream is discounted to
determine what amount received today would have the same value
as a sum received in the future.
ANZ may alter the method of calculation of the early repayment fee
from time to time.
2.7 Early repayment administration fee
An early repayment administration fee (as set by ANZ from time to
time) may also be charged if you fully repay your loan or switch to a
new Fixed Rate Period or another type of loan, before the end of a
Fixed Rate Period.
ANZ may alter the amount of the early repayment administration fee from
time to time.
2.8 Additional interest
If you do not pay any loan repayment on the day it is due, ANZ may
charge additional interest on the overdue amount calculated on a daily
basis from the due date to actual payment (both before and after the
date of any court judgment made against you).
Such additional interest will be at the rates and capitalised at such
intervals as determined by ANZ. This additional interest may be
deducted from any of your ANZ accounts and must be paid on demand.
2.9 Progressive draw down
Where you are able to draw down your loan progressively under your
Loan Agreement, only interest payments (based on the amount of your
loan that has been drawn down) will be charged until your loan is fully
drawn down. Interest will be calculated on the outstanding balance of
your Loan Account at the end of each day and debited monthly (unless
otherwise specified in your Loan Agreement) to your Funding Account
and not your Loan Account.
Additional payments of principal over and above your interest
payments may be made without penalty.
If you have an ANZ Fixed Rate Loan you may not draw down your
loan progressively.
9
3.1 Fixed Rate Loans
From time to time, ANZ offers loans where the interest rate is fixed for
a specific period.
If you have chosen this type of loan, the period during which the
interest rate stays the same is noted on the Loan Agreement that
accompanies this booklet (this is the Fixed Rate Period). The Fixed
Rate Period begins once your loan or any part of it is drawn down.
The following additional conditions apply to this type of loan:
> The interest rate prevailing when you (first) draw down your loan
will not be altered during the Fixed Rate Period unless you fail to
pay any loan payment when it is due to be repaid, in which case
additional interest shall be payable.
> For interest-only lending, the Fixed Rate Period must be the same as
the interest-only period.
> At the end of the Fixed Rate Period, we will contact you to obtain
your further instructions in relation to the loan. If you do not make
alternative arrangements with us, your loan interest rate will be
reviewed and, depending on the terms of your loan agreement, may
be changed to ANZ’s then prevailing variable interest rate (which
may be higher than the loan interest rate applicable during the
Fixed Rate Period).
> If you have an ANZ Fixed Rate Loan with a term of less than one year,
your loan interest rate may only be changed to ANZ’s prevailing
variable interest rate at the end of the Fixed Rate Period.
> You may make repayments over and above your regular loan
repayments within the Fixed Rate Period. However, an early
repayment fee may be payable (refer to the earlier section
entitled ‘Early repayment’ for further details). An early repayment
administration fee may also be charged if you fully repay your loan,
or switch to a new Fixed Rate Period or another type of loan, before
the end of the Fixed Rate Period.
> If you have a Fixed Rate Loan, you may request, prior to the end of
the Fixed Rate Period (such request to be in writing), to make an
additional repayment over and above your regular loan repayments
on the expiry date of the Fixed Rate Period. Such an additional
repayment will not incur an early repayment fee or an early
repayment administration fee.
> The interest rate applicable to your ANZ Fixed Rate Loan, and your
repayment amounts, will be confirmed to you shortly after your
draw down date.
3. Loan types
10
3.2 Debt Consolidation Loans
The following additional terms apply to ANZ Debt Consolidation Loans:
> The interest rate on the loan will be fixed for the term of the loan.
> The interest rate prevailing when you first draw down your loan will
not be altered over the term of your loan, unless you fail to pay any
loan payment when it is due to be paid, in which case additional
interest will be payable on the overdue amount.
> You may make repayments over and above your regular loan
repayments. However, an early repayment fee may be payable (refer
to the earlier section entitled “Early repayment” for further details.
The fixed rate period on your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan is the
full term of your loan). An early repayment administration fee may
also be charged if you fully repay your loan, or switch to another
type of loan before the end of the term of your loan.
> The interest rate applicable to your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan
and your repayment amounts will be confirmed to you shortly after
your draw down date.
> You may not use an ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan to repay lending
from family or friends or another ANZ Personal Loan.
> If you are a new ANZ customer (ie you have not held accounts or
other facilities with us for the last 6 months) you will be required
to close any banking or other facilities that you are repaying using
your ANZ Debt Consolidation Loan. If you are an existing ANZ
customer (ie you have held accounts or other facilities with us
for the last 6 months) you may be required to close any banking
or other facilities that you are repaying using your ANZ Debt
Consolidation Loan depending on your circumstances.
3.3 Variable Rate Loans including
Personal Loans
If you have a Variable Rate Loan and ANZ’s prevailing interest rate
increases, ANZ will automatically increase the amount of your loan
repayments in order to keep the term of your loan the same. However,
if you have a Variable Rate Loan and ANZ’s prevailing interest rate
decreases, the amount of your loan repayments will not be decreased
and the term of your loan will reduce. If you wish to reduce the amount
of your loan repayments you must contact ANZ.
11
If you have a Variable Rate Home Loan you may apply to ANZ to
change it to any of ANZ’s other home loan types. ANZ may charge a
redocumentation fee if you choose to change from one type of loan to
another. ANZ may alter the amount of redocumentation fees from time
to time.
3.4 Loan Repayment Holiday
The Loan Repayment Holiday facility allows for repayments to your
loan to be suspended for up to three months.
Eligibility
The Loan Repayment Holiday facility applies only to ANZ Home and
Residential Investment Loans, excluding ANZ FlexiPlus, interest-only
loans, partially drawn down loans, Government Staff Housing Loan
Schemes, and Special Housing Loan Schemes such as former Housing
Corporation and National Mutual loans.
The facility is not available on Personal Loans, Student Banking Loans
or Graduate Banking Loans.
Conditions
The following conditions apply to the ANZ Loan Repayment Holiday:

> A maximum of one Loan Repayment Holiday may be applied
for every two years starting from the end date of your last Loan
Repayment Holiday. If this is your first Loan Repayment Holiday, you
may apply at any time during your loan term.
> There are some locations within New Zealand that will not qualify
for a Loan Repayment Holiday within two years of draw down.
> Interest on your loan will continue to accrue during the period of
your Loan Repayment Holiday.
> A Loan Repayment Holiday application will not be approved if it
would result in the term of your loan exceeding 30 years from the
first draw down date.
> If you apply to take a Loan Repayment Holiday at the start of your
loan, your regular repayment amount will be increased so that your
loan will be repaid within its original term.
> If you apply to take a Loan Repayment Holiday during the term of
your loan you will be required to select one of the following options:
Increase your loan repayment amount from the date your regular
repayments recommence so that your loan is repaid within its
original term; or
12
Extend the term of your loan by the length of your Loan
Repayment Holiday up to a maximum of three months. You
will also be required to increase your repayment amount from
the date of the next interest rate change after your regular
repayments recommence to cover the extra interest accrued; or
Keep the original term of your loan by making a lump sum catch-
up payment, equal to the total amount of your suspended loan
repayment instalments on the date that your regular repayments
are due to recommence. You will also be required to increase
your repayment amount from the date of the next interest rate
change after your regular repayments recommence to cover the
extra interest accrued.
> Your ANZ Flexidraw facility may not be available during your Loan
Repayment Holiday.
3.5 ANZ Flexidraw
The ANZ Flexidraw facility allows you to reduce the amount of interest
payable on your loan by making additional repayments over and
above the repayment amounts specified in your Loan Agreement.
The additional repayments may subsequently be redrawn from your
Loan Account at any time as long as you continue to adhere to the
repayment arrangements specified in your Loan Agreement.
The ANZ Flexidraw facility is available, on application, on ANZ Standard
Variable Rate Home Loans, ANZ Standard Variable Rate Residential
Investment Loans, ANZ Equity Loans, ANZ Personal Loans and ANZ
Graduate Banking Loans. The Flexidraw facility is not available on ANZ
Fixed Rate Loans or partially drawn down loans.
The following conditions apply to the ANZ Flexidraw facility:
> Approval of an ANZ Flexidraw application is at the sole discretion
of ANZ.
> To be eligible to apply for ANZ Flexidraw, you must have made
repayment amounts over and above those specified in your Loan
Agreement.
> Provided you continue to make all repayments due under your
Loan Agreement, you may redraw the amount by which your loan
is in advance, subject to a minimum redraw amount of $1,000 at
any one time (with the exception of ANZ Personal Loans and ANZ
Graduate Banking Loans, which are subject to a minimum redraw
amount of $500).
> You may be charged an ANZ Flexidraw facility event fee for each
redraw made. ANZ may alter the amount of the ANZ Flexidraw fee
from time to time.
> The ANZ Flexidraw facility is not available on fully repaid loans.
13
3.6 Loans for building
The following additional conditions apply when your loan is to finance
building work:
> The loan will only be made available when you provide:
A registered valuer’s report (in a form satisfactory to ANZ) from
a registered valuer acceptable to ANZ. Loan funds will only be
made available at each draw down to the extent that the funds
drawn down to date do not exceed the Loan to Security Ratio
allowed by ANZ for that property type.
Builders’ and contractors’ invoices at each draw down.
A Code of Compliance Certificate before final draw down.
> You must use your own money towards completing the building
before ANZ will make any of the loan funds available. ANZ may
require evidence that your own money has been used.
> Interest on your loan will be calculated on the outstanding balance
of your loan at the end of each day. The end of day will be the time
of day determined by ANZ from time to time. Please refer to the
section in this booklet regarding ‘Progressive draw down’.
> ANZ may cancel any undrawn portion of your loan and/or require
repayments of principal and interest to be commenced immediately
if, in ANZ’s opinion, there has been unreasonable delay in the
building work or in drawing down the loan.
3.7 Subsidised Loans
In some cases, employers provide a housing subsidy to their
employees. If this applies to you and if ANZ agrees that your loan
will be a Subsidised Loan, your employer will give you a certificate of
eligibility which you must provide to ANZ. The details of the subsidy
will be noted on the Loan Agreement that accompanies this booklet.
The following additional conditions apply to Subsidised Loans:
> If the payer of the subsidy (your employer) fails to pay all or part of
the subsidy when it is due or the level of subsidy is reduced, ANZ
may debit any of your ANZ accounts with additional interest charges
to cover the unpaid or reduced subsidy.
> If the payer of the subsidy ceases to pay all or part of the subsidy,
or if you cease to work for the payer of the subsidy, or if ANZ is
advised that you no longer qualify to be paid a subsidy, the interest
rate charged by ANZ on your loan will alter to the then current non-
subsidised rate for the type of loan you have taken out and you
must pay ANZ on demand all outstanding interest that has not been
paid for by the subsidy.
Note: A Subsidised Loan must be an ANZ Standard Variable Rate Loan.
14

ANZ’s right of early repayment
ANZ may require you to repay immediately the whole of your loan and
may cancel the loan or any undrawn portion of the loan, if any of the
following situations occur:
> If you fail to pay, when due, any amount required to be paid to ANZ
in connection with this loan.
> If you fail to comply with any of the terms of your loan or you or your
Guarantor or your Mortgagor fail to perform any obligation assumed
under this agreement, or any other loan, or under any guarantee or
security document with ANZ (either present or future).
> If any other event occurs, whether through your action or
otherwise, that:

General conditions
The dates for repayment, interest charge dates, repayment
instalments, fees and other payments, loan term and all other terms of
this agreement (other than the interest rate for your loan) are subject
to amendment from time to time by ANZ at its absolute discretion.
The interest rate for your loan is subject to amendment under the
terms of the Interest Rate section of your Loan Agreement and as
detailed in these terms and conditions.
4. Terms and Conditions
16
You authorise ANZ to amend the amount of repayments debited by
automatic payment authority to any of your accounts, as a result of
ANZ amending the term of this agreement. ANZ will advise you of any
amendment by public notice, branch notice or by personal letter to you.
If this loan is made available to more than one person, each person
named in the Loan Agreement as Borrower is responsible for the
repayment of the whole of the loan and all interest and fees payable in
respect of the loan.
Where the Funding Account is held by the same persons as named in
the Loan Agreement, any of those persons may individually authorise
any amendments to any repayments debited from the Funding Account
by automatic payment authority; providing that:
> such amendments do not reduce the repayments to an amount that
is lower than any minimum repayment amount required by the Loan
Agreement; and
> the signing authority executed by the account holders for the
Funding Account authorises that account to be operated by any one
of the account holders; and
> the account holder who requests the change is available to sign
such authorising documentation as may be requested by ANZ.
All payments of fees and reimbursements of costs incurred by ANZ
relating to this loan and/or security may be deducted from any of
your ANZ accounts without prior notice to you. If ANZ makes any
such deduction, ANZ will give you written notice that it has done so.
However, if there are legal charges, you will be advised of the amount
due before we pay the account.
ANZ may, without prior notice to you, transfer the credit balance of any
of your ANZ accounts in or towards repayment of any unpaid amount
you may owe to ANZ under your loan. If ANZ makes any such transfer
of a credit balance, ANZ will give you written notice that it has done so.
Without prejudice to the terms and conditions of any security
document given by you to ANZ, you must pay on demand all costs and
expenses (including taxes and professional fees) incurred by ANZ as
a result of the exercise of or in protecting or enforcing or otherwise
in connection with any of its rights, powers or discretions under the
terms and conditions to which your loan is subject.
Should you die or be otherwise incapable of continuing to manage
your own affairs, your executor, administrator or successor (as the
case may be) will be required to meet your obligations under this loan.
17
ANZ may delay taking action within its rights under this agreement,
or may choose not to take action at all. Any delay or inaction by ANZ
does not mean that ANZ is unable to rely on those rights at a later date
and does not prevent ANZ from taking action within its rights under
this agreement in the future. No undertaking from ANZ that it will not
exercise a right will be binding on ANZ, unless that undertaking is
made in writing.
ANZ may, without notice to you, transfer the credit balance of any of
your ANZ accounts in or towards repayment of any unpaid amount you
may owe to ANZ under your loan, or under any security documents.
If any amount is contingently due or cannot be measured, ANZ may
withhold repayment of the credit balance of any of your ANZ accounts
until the amount owing becomes due or can be measured, up to the
maximum amount for which you may become liable. This is in addition
to any other right of set-off, combination, lien or other right that
ANZ may have.
A certificate by ANZ as to any rate of interest or any amount payable
under the terms and conditions to which your loan is subject shall be
conclusive evidence for all purposes including legal proceedings.
Any information that you provide to ANZ will be kept strictly
confidential, and will be held securely by ANZ and/or the companies in
the ANZ Group. You are entitled to access and correct this information
by enquiring at any branch of ANZ, although you may have to pay a fee
for this service.
To ensure your information is accurate, please let ANZ know of any
changes to your personal details, such as your address.
ANZ may use this information to:
> consider your application for facilities, products or services;
> administer, manage and monitor any facilities, products or services
provided to you;
> conduct market research, data processing and statistical analysis; and
> unless you disagree, provide you with information about other
facilities, products or services including select third party products
or services.
ANZ may disclose information about you (including your Guarantor
and Mortgagor) to other companies within the ANZ Group, agents or
contractors for the above purposes.
ANZ may disclose information about you (including your Guarantor
and Mortgagor) to credit reference agencies for the purpose of
obtaining credit reports on you. Those credit reference agencies may
retain that information and provide it to their customers who use their
credit reporting services.
18
If you default in any obligations to ANZ, then ANZ may disclose
information about you (including your Guarantor and Mortgagor) to
credit reference or debt recovery agencies and it may be retained by
them. Those agencies may provide that information to their customers
who use their credit reporting services. ANZ may also disclose account
information to any authorised signatory to your accounts.
ANZ may obtain information and make such enquiries about you as
ANZ may consider warranted from any source including the ANZ Group
of companies and credit reference agencies for the above purpose.
Unless you disagree, ANZ may also disclose information about you
(including your Guarantor and Mortgagor) to reputable advertising
organisations for marketing purposes and to reputable market
research organisations so that they can obtain your views on products
and services.
Under these terms and conditions, you (and your Guarantor and
Mortgagor) authorise ANZ to:
> Contact the source of any information you provide to ANZ to check
the accuracy of the information.
> Obtain information and make any enquiries about you that we
consider justified from any source, including credit reference
agencies and other companies in the ANZ Group, for any of the
above purposes.
You also authorise anyone that ANZ approaches to provide this
information to ANZ.
If ANZ appoints agents to provide selected banking services to its
customers, these terms and conditions will apply to those agents and
their services.
Some New Zealand and overseas laws require organisations to
disclose confidential customer information to government authorities
and third parties. ANZ and the companies in the ANZ Group will
comply with these laws where they apply. ANZ may let you know about
the disclosure, unless it is prohibited by law.
You acknowledge that your personal and other information may be
held and processed by other companies in the ANZ Group, including
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited in Australia (‘ANZ
Australia’). ANZ Australia is subject to anti-money laundering laws in
force in Australia and certain other countries which may prohibit ANZ
in New Zealand from entering or concluding transactions involving
certain persons or entities. You agree that ANZ in New Zealand and any
other ANZ Group company may:
> Delay or block any transaction, or refuse to pay any money; or
19
> disclose any information concerning you or the transaction to the
New Zealand Police or Australian Federal Police or equivalent
authority in any other country in order to ascertain whether such
laws apply to any transaction or otherwise in compliance with laws
directed to the prevention and detection of terrorist financing, in
the reasonable belief that a transaction may contravene any such law
and that ANZ in New Zealand and any other ANZ Group company will
not incur any liability to you as a result of such actions.
In this clause, ‘money laundering’ includes any dealing with the
proceeds of criminal activity and any dealing with funds or assets
of any person or entity suspected of involvement in terrorism or any
terrorist act.
Where you are a business (or hold yourself out as acquiring goods
and services for the purposes of business) any rights or remedies
under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 shall not apply in respect of
goods or services supplied pursuant to any agreement (including this
agreement) between you and ANZ.
ANZ may assign its rights under this agreement or any security
document to any other party without notice and may for that purpose
disclose personal information about you to any potential assignee.
You are not permitted to assign your rights or transfer your obligations
under this agreement unless ANZ agrees to this in writing.
Other than disclosures required to be made under the Credit Contracts
and Consumer Finance Act 2003, the time of receipt of which will be
governed by that Act, any notices sent by ANZ under the terms and
conditions of your loan shall be deemed to have been received by you
on the second business day after the date of posting (if sent by letter)
or on the date of actual dispatch if that day is a business day (in the
case of telex, facsimile or e-mail transmission) to your address and/or
telex or facsimile number and/or e-mail address that is the last known
to ANZ. If the telex, facsimile or e-mail is dispatched after 5:00pm on a
business day (in the place of receipt) or on a non-business day, or the
next business day (in the place of receipt) it will be deemed to have been
received on the following business day.
