Opening a retirement account

Deciding what do with your super when you retire is one of the key financial decisions in life. An ANZ Staff Super financial adviser can help you get set up.

Opening an account

Here’s a guide to setting up an account in the ANZ Staff Super Retirement Section: either Transition to Retirement or Account Based Pension. We strongly recommend that members speak to an ANZ Staff Super financial adviser when approaching, starting or transitioning to retirement.
