10
2. USING TRAVEL ACCOUNTS AND TRAVEL
CARDS
2.1 Contract acceptance and liability
(a) You are taken to have accepted the terms of your Letter
of Offer when (whichever occurs first):
you accept in writing;
Travel Card details are used by an Authorised User for
the first time; or
a transaction is made on a Travel Account for the first
time.
We may also allow you to accept the terms of your Letter
of Offer in other ways.
(b) You must ensure that each Authorised User complies
with the Commercial Card Contract and you will be
responsible for any breach if they don’t.
(c) Subject to the Electronic Banking Conditions of Use, you
are responsible for all transactions on a Travel Account
except any transaction attributable to the negligence,
fraud or wilful misconduct of ANZ.
2.2 Issuance of Travel Card details
(a) Travel Card details will be contained in a Travel Card
Letter. No physical cards (i.e. with a chip or magstripe) will
be issued by us.
(b) A request for the issue of Travel Card details must be
made by you or an Authorised Signatory, in writing or
in any other form (electronic or otherwise) approved by
ANZ. A request must also specify the Spend Cap and, if
applicable, any other limits or restrictions. See clause 4 for
more details.
(c) We may reissue Travel Card details at any time unless
you or an Authorised Signatory have asked us not to.
You, an Authorised Signatory or an Individual Cardholder
may request ANZ to reissue Travel Card details (for
example if the Travel Card details have been lost, stolen or
damaged).
(d) ANZ reserves the right, acting reasonably, not to issue or
reissue Travel Card details.
2.3 Identification requirements
(a) ANZ may need to verify your identity. We may also need
to verify the identity of each Individual Cardholder,
11
Authorised Signatory or any other person who is
authorised to use or have access to a Travel Account. If
we do, then each such person must meet our customer
identification process to our satisfaction (acting
reasonably) before they can use Travel Card details or
a Travel Account (as applicable). We may also need to
repeat the identification process and/or update any
details from time to time if ANZ believes such information
is reasonably necessary.
(b) We may, acting reasonably, allow you to appoint an
‘identification officer’ to complete identification checks
for Individual Cardholders. You must contact us first if you
wish to do this.
2.4 Using Travel Accounts and Travel Card details
(a) A Travel Account and Travel Card details must:
be used wholly or predominantly for business
purposes and not for private or domestic purposes;
and
not be used for any unlawful purpose, including the
purchase of goods or services prohibited by the laws
of the jurisdiction you are in.
(b) Travel Card details are only valid and must only be used
by an Authorised User on or before the applicable expiry
date. For further details on card expiry see clause 18.
(c) We cannot guarantee any financial institution or
merchant displaying a credit card symbol will always
accept or honour Travel Card details.
3. ACCOUNT CREDIT LIMITS AND
EXCEEDING YOUR LIMIT
(a) The Account Credit Limit for a Travel Account will be the
amount authorised by ANZ at the time the account is
opened or such other amount as ANZ authorises from
time to time.
(b) If you have more than one Account open under the
facility then the aggregate limit for all Accounts must not
exceed the Facility Limit.
(c) If a debit to a Travel Account would result in the
outstanding Travel Account Balance exceeding the
Account Credit Limit for that account, you will be taken to
have made a request for an overlimit amount. Examples
of when this may occur are:
12
if a Transaction is made at a time when electronic
authorisation systems are not available (for example,
manual transactions or when systems are off-line’ for
any reason); or
if any interest or fees and charges are payable by you
in accordance with these Travel Account Terms.
(d) If we allow the debit to proceed, we will be taken to have
agreed to your request and the overlimit amount will
form part of the Closing Balance of the relevant Travel
Account. We may, in our absolute discretion, decline any
further Transactions until any overlimit amount has been
paid.
(e) If we don’t allow the debit to proceed and you have
any unused Facility Limit available, you or an Authorised
Signatory can request us to increase an Account Credit
Limit at any time. If we do agree to increase an Account
Credit Limit we will notify you of our approval, the
effective date of the approval and of any change to the
fees or charges and/or the Annual Interest Rate payable
by you as a result of our approval. If you do not have any
unused Facility Limit, then you or an Authorised Signatory
must ask us to increase your Facility Limit.
(f ) If you ask us to increase your Facility Limit in accordance
with paragraph (e) above, we don’t have to agree to
increase the limit and any request to increase your Facility
Limit will be subject to our usual credit assessment
criteria.
(g) If we have approved an increase to your Facility Limit, you
or an Authorised Signatory may then ask us to apply that
additional credit to increase an Account Credit Limit.
4. SPEND CAPS AND OTHER LIMITS AND
CONTROLS
4.1 Spend Caps
(a) A Spend Cap must be set at the time you request us
to issue Travel Card details. If you do not nominate the
amount of a Spend Cap, we will set a default amount for
the Spend Cap.
(b) The Spend Cap period will commence on the day we
issue a statement of account and will be reset (ie the
full Spend Cap will be available to use again) on the day
before the next statement is issued.
13
(c) The amount of credit available to use with the same
Travel Card details at any time will be limited to the
available credit on the relevant Travel Account or the
amount of credit that is available to use with the same
Travel Card details at that time, whichever is lower.
Subject to clause 4.5, this may result in Transactions being
declined even though the Spend Cap for an individual
Travel Card is not fully utilised.
4.2 Other restrictions or limits
(a) You or an Authorised Signatory may ask us to place a
restriction or a limit on the types of Transactions that
may be made using Travel Card details. These include
restricting:
if we have agreed that a Travel Account can be used
to make Cash Advances, the availability of Cash
Advances;
the amount of a Transaction; or
the type of merchant that Purchases can be made from.
(b) The restrictions or limits referred to in clause 4.2(a)
are only applied to individual cards unless we agree
otherwise.
(c) If we have agreed that a Travel Account can be used to
make Cash Advances, then we may impose conditions,
that are reasonably necessary to protect ANZ and you (for
example producing suitable identification), which must
be met before a Cash Advance request can be made.
4.3 Restrictions or limits set by merchants and other
providers
Other merchants or service providers may also impose
minimum amounts or limits on the amount of Cash Advances
available. These may vary between providers.
4.4 Changing an existing limit or restriction
You or an Authorised Signatory may ask us to change a Spend
Cap or any other limit or restriction applied to the use of any
Travel Card details or to a Travel Account (other than one
applied by a merchant or other service provider).
If we agree to the request, the change will only be effective
once it has been processed by us.
4.5 When will a restriction or limit not apply?
(a) There may be times when a limit or restriction on the
use of any Travel Card details or to a Travel Card Account
will not be effective. This may occur when electronic
14
authorisation systems are not available (for example,
manual transactions or when systems are offline’ for
any reason) or in the case of a merchant restriction it
may occur if the merchant category code requested is
different to the code assigned to a merchant.
(b) If this happens, the Principal agrees that it is liable for the
full Transaction amount. The Principal will not be liable
for the full Transaction amount if a limit or restriction
is not effective due to the negligence, fraud or wilful
misconduct of ANZ. For the avoidance of doubt ANZ will
not be liable for losses arising from the conduct of TMCs,
merchants or other third parties involved in processing
Transactions.
5. TRANSACTION BALANCES ON A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT
5.1 What is a Transaction Balance?
(a) A Travel Account can be used for Purchases and, if we
agree, Cash Advances. You have a separate Transaction
Balance for each of these Transaction types and together
they make up a Travel Account Balance.
(b) Debits (for example Transactions, fees and charges and
interest) and credits (for example payments, refunds and
reversals) are allocated to these Transaction Balances.
(c) Different rates of interest may apply to each Transaction
Balance.
5.2 What amounts are included in a Transaction Balance?
(a) The Purchases Balance on a Travel Account includes:
Purchase amounts;
fees and other charges and other amounts we debit
under clause 12, other than any that we reasonably
consider relate to another Transaction Balance;
any other amount we are entitled to debit under the
Commercial Card Contract; and
interest debited in respect of those amounts, and on
interest we have already debited.
(b) The Cash Advances Balance on a Travel Account includes:
Cash Advance amounts;
15
fees and other charges and other amounts we debit
under clause 12 that we reasonably consider relate to
the Cash Advances Balance; and
interest debited in respect of those amounts, and on
interest we have already debited.
6. DEBITS AND CREDITS TO A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT
6.1 When debits and credits will be processed to a Travel
Account
(a) We process each debit or credit to a Travel Account on
the day determined by our business processes, acting
reasonably.
(b) There may be a difference between the time and day a
transaction is made and the time and day a transaction is
processed.
(c) Timing may be affected by cut-off or processing times
(including cut-off and processing times of other parties
involved), weekends and public holidays, different time
zones or mail delivery times, and third party system
requirements (such as Visas). Cut-off times can vary, for
example different times can apply to different payment
methods. We, or someone else involved, might also need
more information from you before we can process a debit
or credit.
6.2 Dating debits and credits
(a) We will record each debit and credit as having a
‘transaction date’, and a ‘processing date. The processing
date may be different from the transaction date.
(b) There may be times when we may debit an amount (for
example interest or fees) before the date recorded on
a statement of account as the transaction date or the
processing date (for example because the date we would
have debited it is not an ANZ Business Day). This may
affect the amounts available for you to use. However, we
won’t begin to calculate interest on that amount until the
transaction date.
6.3 When payments and other credits are effective
Payments and other credits do not form part of a Travel
Account Balance until they are processed. This means that
payments and other credits that have not been processed
may not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating
interest, satisfying payments, or working out if an account is
16
overlimit. This applies even if they are available for you to use
before then.
6.4 When debits are effective and when we charge
interest from
(a) We calculate interest on each debit from the transaction
date but we may not always debit that interest charge to
a Travel Account. See clause 13 for more details.
(b) If the transaction date and the processing date for
a debit are in the same statement period and the
processing date is after the transaction date, we may
make adjustments to the relevant Transaction Balance, for
example to account for interest between those dates.
(c) If the transaction date and the processing date for a debit
are not in the same statement period, then we will only
calculate interest on the relevant debit from the first day
of the statement period in which the processing date falls
and not from the transaction date (which is in the earlier
statement period).
6.5 Processing order
(a) Our business processes also determine the order in which
we process debits and credits on any given day. This
means for example that they may not be processed in
the order they were made.
(b) The processing order can affect the amount available for
you to use (see clause 7.3) and the way any excess credit
is applied (see clause 11.3).
7. TRANSACTIONS ON A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT
7.1 Authorising amounts
(a) When an Authorised User authorises any Transaction,
including by using or providing the Travel Card details,
you agree that we can debit the Transaction amount to
the relevant Travel Account.
(b) For each Transaction that is authorised, you are agreeing
that the amount of the Transaction is correct.
(c) We may rely on information from other parties involved
when we debit or credit amounts to a Travel Account.
(d) You should ensure that Authorised Users carefully check
amounts and other details at the time the Travel Card
details are used or provided (for example before the
Authorised User authorises an amount), and any receipts,
17
and tell the person accepting the Travel Card details if
something isn’t correct.
7.2 Authorisations by ANZ
(a) Before any Transaction is made, the TMC, merchant or
other person involved in the Transaction may obtain an
authorisation from us for the Transaction.
(b) We can refuse to authorise a Transaction where:
you do not have sufficient credit available on the
applicable Travel Account;
cash advance or transaction limits apply to the
Transaction;
Travel Card details have been cancelled or suspended
or the account has been blocked;
we reasonably suspect fraud has or may occur on a
Travel Account; or
we reasonably consider it necessary to reduce the risk
of loss to you or to ANZ.
(c) An authorisation may reduce the amount of credit
available on a Travel Account (and the Transaction may be
shown as ‘pending’). If the Transaction is not completed,
the amount of credit may continue to be reduced for a
period of time, usually for around six ANZ Business Days.
(d) The amount we debit to a Travel Account may be
different from the amount we authorise. For example, if
a merchant has obtained authorisation for an estimated
amount it can settle for a higher amount without getting
another authorisation from us, or if the transaction is in
a foreign currency the exchange rate can change before
the transaction is settled. This means you could exceed
the applicable Account Credit Limit when the amount is
debited.
7.3 Indicative amounts shown
(a) An Authorised User may be shown amounts, for example
on a receipt or transaction summary, which are indicative
of:
the amount the Authorised User is able to use (which
might, for example, be referred to as ‘funds’, or just a ‘$’
figure) – this amount may reflect some, but possibly
not all, debits and credits that have been made but
not yet processed; or
18
the amount owing on a Travel Account (which might,
for example, be referred to as ‘balance’) – this amount
only reflects the debits and credits which have actually
been processed by us as at a specific point in time.
(b) This means for example that:
it may appear that there is a positive Travel Account
Balance when another transaction is made, but
there may not be a positive balance when that later
transaction is processed, and you may have to pay
interest and applicable fees; or
it may appear that there is sufficient credit available
to use for another transaction but it may be declined,
or there may not be sufficient credit at the time it is
processed and your account may go overlimit.
This might be because credits are still pending, or
another debit has arisen and/or been processed first.
(c) See clause 3 for further details about exceeding an
Account Credit Limit and clause 6 for more information
about how we process debits and credits.
7.4 Standing authorities to debit your account
(a) An Authorised User can give the TMC, a merchant or
other party standing authority to debit a Travel Account.
This includes for recurring transactions where the TMC,
merchant or other party may debit a Travel Account
without getting your authorisation each time, and for
future transactions where the TMC, merchant or other
party uses stored card details. They do this by providing
their Travel Card details to the TMC, merchant or other
party.
(b) If you or an Authorised User want to cancel the standing
authority, this must be done directly with the TMC,
merchant or other party. We will generally keep debiting
the relevant amounts from the relevant Travel Account
until the arrangement is cancelled.
(c) If the TMC, merchant or other party does not cancel the
standing authority after they have been asked to then
you can ask us to help you resolve the dispute under
clause 20 (you should keep evidence of the request).
(d) If we issue replacement Travel Card details (for example if
Travel Card details expire or are lost or stolen and in either
case replacement details are issued), existing standing
authorities should be cancelled and set up with the
replacement Travel Card details, or your details updated
19
as appropriate, if you want the standing authorities to
continue. In some cases an existing standing authority
may automatically continue (for example, under Visas
arrangements with some merchants, there may be
circumstances where credit card details are automatically
updated when replacement card details are issued). If
you don’t want that to happen then you must cancel the
standing authority.
(e) If:
(i) An event of default has occurred under clause 23; or
(ii) Travel Card details have been cancelled or suspended
or a Travel Account has been blocked or closed in
accordance with these terms,
then ANZ may stop processing recurring or other relevant
transactions even if the relevant standing authority has
not been cancelled.
7.5 Related charges
(a) The TMC, merchant or other party involved in accepting
or processing a Transaction, or the recipient of any
money, may impose additional related charges when
Travel Card details are used. These include, for example
merchant surcharges or branch fees.
(b) These charges are outside our control and generally we
are not able to identify them on a statement of account.
(c) They will (where applicable) form part of the Transaction
amount (including for the purposes of calculating any fee
we are entitled to charge for a Transaction).
7.6 Anti-Money Laundering and Sanctions
(a) You agree that we may, without providing you with any
notice and without incurring any liability delay, block or
refuse to process any transaction, or close your account,
if we reasonably consider or suspect that processing the
transaction or keeping your account open:
may break any law or regulation in Australia or any
other country;
involves any person (natural, corporate or
governmental) that is itself sanctioned or is
connected, directly or indirectly, to any person that
is sanctioned under economic and trade sanctions
imposed by the United Nations, the European Union
or any country;
20
may directly or indirectly involve the proceeds of, or
be applied for the purposes of, unlawful conduct; or
may be inconsistent with or prohibited by our anti-
money laundering and counter-terrorism financing or
sanctions policies.
(b) Such policies, which can change, are designed to help
ANZ comply with legal obligations and to identify,
manage and mitigate money laundering, terrorism
financing and sanctions risks. These policies cover matters
such as ANZ’s approach to:
customer due diligence;
monitoring transactions for indicators of unusual
behaviour and reporting suspicious activities to
appropriate authorities; and
transactions that may be connected, directly or
indirectly, with sanctioned parties, jurisdictions,
products or sectors of economies in certain
jurisdictions.
(c) A summary of our anti-money laundering and counter-
terrorism financing policy and our sanctions policy is
available on anz.com and includes, for example, a current
list of relevant jurisdictions.
(d) You must give us all the information we reasonably need
to manage anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism
financing and/or economic and trade sanctions risk or
to comply with any law in Australia or any other country.
You agree that we may give any information about you
to:
any law enforcement agency, regulatory agency or
court if we must do this under any law or regulation in
Australia or elsewhere; and
any correspondent (or agent) bank we use to make
the payment for the purpose of compliance with any
law or regulation.
(e) Unless you have told us that you are a trustee of the
account or are acting on behalf of someone else, you
warrant that you are acting on your own behalf in
entering into this agreement.
(f ) You declare and undertake to us that the processing
of any transaction by us in accordance with your
instructions will not breach any law or regulation in
Australia or any other country.
21
8. STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNT
(a) We will issue a statement of account to you for each
Travel Account on or before the end of each statement
period unless we decide not to because it is not required
by law. Your statement periods will generally be around
30 days, ending on or around the same day each month
(taking into account weekends and public holidays).
(b) Your statements will show amounts that have been
debited or credited to the applicable Travel Account
during the statement period. Amounts stated on a
statement of account will always be expressed in
Australian currency.
(c) It is your responsibility to check your statements, and
to contact us (using the contact details at the front of
the booklet) if something doesn’t look right, or if you
have any questions about an entry on your statement of
account.
(d) Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to
reverse a transaction if it isn’t correct, but you must raise a
dispute with us under clause 20 first.
9. AMOUNTS YOU MUST PAY ON A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT
You must pay the Closing Balance by the Due Date shown on
the statement of account.
10. HOW TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT
(a) You can make payments to a Travel Account in any
way we allow. See your statement of account for more
information about the payment methods available.
(b) All payments must be settled with Australian dollars.
(c) A payment won’t be treated as made to a Travel Account
until we have received and processed it. You should
make sure you allow time for the payment to reach us,
especially if you are paying from another bank or by mail.
See clause 6 for more information about processing.
(d) Cheques and other non-cash payments will generally not
be processed to a Travel Account, or available for you to
use, until they have cleared (around three ANZ Business
Days).
22
(e) When we make adjustments to Transaction Balances to
account for refunds and reversals, we don’t treat them
in the same way as payments to a Travel Account for the
purposes of seeing whether you have paid your Closing
Balance under clause 9. That means you could be in default
under the Commercial Card Contract and/or be charged
a late payment fee even though a refund or reversal has
been processed to your account by the Due Date.
(f ) In some circumstances payments can be rejected (for
example, because there is an error with them). If they are
subsequently processed, we will make adjustments to
your Transaction Balances, but they may not be treated
as a payment for the purposes of clause 9. This means
you could be in default, be charged a late payment fee
or overlimit fee and/or be charged interest (unless the
rejection is due to ANZ’s fraud, wilful misconduct or error).
(g) If a payment made to a Travel Account is dishonoured
or reversed (for example because it was paid in error,
or because we have agreed in our discretion, acting
reasonably, to reverse it) then we will debit the
Transaction Balance that the original payment was
credited to accordingly. We may also make adjustments
under clause 15. The amount of credit available on
the applicable Travel Account will also be reduced
accordingly. This may also mean that you incur a late
payment fee and/or exceed an Account Credit Limit.
11. HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS AND OTHER
CREDITS
11.1 Application of payments
(a) Once a payment has been processed by us we will
generally apply it in the following order:
(i) First, to pay any unpaid interest (whether the amount
has appeared on a statement of account yet or not)
(ii) Secondly, to pay any unpaid fees and charges
(whether the amount has appeared on a statement
yet or not)
(iii) Thirdly, to pay all Transactions (that were included in
the Closing Balance shown on your last statement
issued)
(iv)Lastly, to pay any other Transactions,
in each case, in order from those that have the highest
Annual Interest Rate to those that have the lowest.
23
(b) If the same Annual Interest Rate applies to all of the
relevant amounts, we will apply the payment towards
paying off those amounts in the order determined by our
business processes, acting reasonably.
11.2 How we apply credit from a refund or reversal
After a refund (for example where you have returned goods
or cancelled services) or a reversal (for example where the
Transaction was made in error or a dispute has been resolved
in your favour) has been processed we will generally apply any
credit from that refund or reversal to reduce amounts forming
part of the Transaction Balance which the relevant Transaction
(to which the refund/reversal relates) was originally debited
from (based on, if applicable, information provided to us).
11.3 How we treat excess credit
If there is any excess credit remaining after we have applied a
payment or other credit, then we will apply it to subsequent
debits in the order determined by our business processes,
acting reasonably. This will generally be based on the order
those debits are processed, or the dates on which your
Transaction Balances were set up.
See clause 6 for more information about processing.
12. FEES AND CHARGES YOU MUST PAY
(a) You must pay:
the fees and other charges set out or referred to in
your Letter of Offer;
any enforcement expenses we may charge you under
clause 23.3; and
any additional fees and charges we tell you about or
agree with you under clause 14.
(b) We may debit those fees and other charges to the
applicable Travel Account (or, subject to our agreement, to
any other ANZ account nominated by you for this purpose)
at any time after we become entitled to charge them.
(c) You must also pay any GST or other government duties,
taxes or charges that are payable in relation to a Travel
Account or any amounts debited or credited to a Travel
Account. We may also debit those amounts to the
relevant Travel Account.
(d) Any annual or other periodic fees are charged for the
relevant year or period or any part of it. This means, unless
we agree otherwise, that we will not refund them once
24
debited to a Travel Account (or, subject to our agreement,
to any other ANZ account nominated by you), even if
Travel Card details are cancelled or a Travel Account is
closed.
13. HOW WE CALCULATE AND CHARGE
INTEREST
(a) Interest is calculated on your Purchases Balance as at the
end of each day but we do not charge that interest to
your account(s).
(b) If we have agreed that a Travel Account can be used to
make Cash Advances, then interest is also calculated on
your Cash Advances Balance as at the end of each day.
(c) If interest is payable by you on your Cash Advances
Balance then we add up the Daily Interest Amount for
each relevant day in the statement period (the Interest
Charge’) and we debit that to your Travel Account as
at the last day of the statement period. If we make any
adjustments to interest under clause 6.4 or clause 15
these adjustments will also be made as at the last day
of a statement period. Your Interest Charge and any
adjustments will be included in your Closing Balance for
the statement of account.
14. CHANGES TO YOUR COMMERCIAL CARD
CONTRACT
(a) Sometimes ANZ may need to change the terms of your
Commercial Card Contract. The tables in paragraphs (d)
and (e) below set out the changes that ANZ can make.
Each table also sets out how and when ANZ will notify
you of these changes.
(b) Each table is subject to the following:
if any applicable laws or industry codes (such as the
Banking Code of Practice) require a minimum notice
period or a particular delivery method, then ANZ will
use the method and give you at least the notice they
require; and
as long as ANZ is not in conflict with those laws or
industry codes, ANZ may also give you less notice
than specified in the table if it is reasonable for us to
manage a material and immediate risk.
25
(c) A reference in each table to:
‘in writing’ includes a notice by any notification
method allowed by these Travel Account Terms and,
unless prohibited by law, will include by electronic
methods; and
‘public notice is a notice published in a national
newspaper, or any other public notice as long as the
requirements of any applicable law or industry code
are met.

Contract or close all Travel Accounts in accordance with
clause 22 of these Travel Account Terms.
15. WHEN CAN ANZ ADJUST A TRAVEL
ACCOUNT?
We may adjust a debit or credit made to a Travel Account to
ensure that it accurately records our legal obligations and
yours under your Commercial Card Contract and the law. For
example we may make an adjustment because of:
an error or processing problem;
30
a payment reversal or dishonour;
a resolution of a dispute; or
you asking us to move amounts between your Transaction
Balances or pay a credit balance to you.
If we do this we may make consequential adjustments to
Transaction Balances, including to interest. The adjustments
may relate to prior statement periods.
16. AMOUNTS THAT MAY BE INCLUDED IN A
PURCHASE
Various amounts of commissions, fees and other charges may
be paid to or by ANZ when a Travel Account is used.
These include any amount which may be received by ANZ
from the TMC, a merchant or the TMC or a merchants bank for
ANZ paying debts incurred by the Principal.
17. EXCHANGE RATES USED FOR FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(a) All amounts transacted in a currency other than
Australian dollars will be converted into Australian dollars
by Visa. Visa will determine the conversion process and
rate or rates used.
(b) In some cases, the TMC, merchant or other party involved
may set the exchange rate so that you can pay in
Australian dollars (in this case an overseas transaction fee
may still be charged).
(c) If any amount debited to a Travel Account in a foreign
currency is later refunded or reversed, the payment made
in Australian dollars to that Travel Account may differ
from the original Australian dollar amount.
18. KEEPING YOUR TRAVEL CARD DETAILS
SECURE
The security of your Travel Card details is very important.
You must:
securely destroy Travel Card details when they expire. All
Travel Card details expire when the ‘until end’ or ‘valid to’
date contained in the Travel Card details has passed;
not let anyone else use or have access to Travel Card details;
take reasonable steps to protect Travel Card details from
loss, theft or misuse;
31
if Travel Card details are lost or stolen, or there is any
unauthorised use, immediately make a report under clause
19; and
comply with the security and other requirements set out in
the Electronic Banking Conditions of Use.
You are more likely to be liable for unauthorised Transactions if
these things are not done, see clause 20.
19. REPORTING UNAUTHORISED
TRANSACTIONS AND LOST OR STOLEN
TRAVEL CARD DETAILS
19.1 What to do if your Travel Card details are lost or stolen
(a) If you, an Authorised Signatory or an Authorised User are
aware or suspect that Travel Card details have been lost
or stolen, or that the Travel Card details have or may have
been used by someone else without authority, it should
be reported to us immediately.
(b) We will cancel the Travel Card details after the report is
made to us. We may also cancel any other Travel Card
details for the same Travel Account. Any cancelled Travel
Card details must not be used once the report has been
made and, if applicable, must be securely destroyed.
Cancellation may not become effective immediately.
(c) We may issue replacement Travel Card details. Depending
on the circumstances, we may also open a new Travel
Account and transfer the relevant Travel Account Balance
to it. Your existing Commercial Card Contract will apply to
your new Travel Account and/or Travel Card details.
(d) Any standing authority set-up using the Travel Card
details that have been replaced should be cancelled
and set-up using the replacement Travel Card details.
See clause 7.4 for more information about standing
authorities and recurring transactions.
(e) Even if Travel Card details have been cancelled under
this clause, amounts may still be processed to a Travel
Account (including transactions that have not yet been
processed and transactions under a standing authority
(such as recurring transactions) that have not been
cancelled). You may be liable for those amounts, and any
related interest and fees.
(f ) If you want to dispute a Transaction which happened
when Travel Card details have been lost or stolen or
32
which you or an Authorised User didn’t authorise, you will
need to lodge a dispute under clause 20.
19.2 What to do if a password is lost
If you, an Authorised Signatory or an Authorised User are aware
or suspect that a password has been lost or has or may have
been used by someone else without authority, please refer to
the Electronic Banking Conditions for details on how to make
a report to us. You may also contact us on the numbers at the
front of this booklet.
20. DISPUTING TRANSACTIONS AND YOUR
LIABILITY
20.1 How to dispute a transaction
(a) A dispute can be lodged about a transaction. For
example a dispute may be lodged:
because an Authorised User didn’t authorise the
transaction;
the goods or services weren’t received; or
you or an Authorised User think there has been an
error by us, a TMC, merchant or another party.
For more details about how to dispute a transaction
(including applicable time limits and the information you
will need to provide) you can call us.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible
for incorrect amounts debited or credited to a Travel
Account where we have relied on information from
other parties involved (for example Visa, or the person
accepting your card), except to the extent this arises from
ANZ’s negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.
20.2 Disputing unauthorised Transactions
(a) If an Authorised User didn’t authorise a Transaction (for
example because the Travel Card details were lost or
stolen) then you may have additional rights. For example
you may be entitled to a reversal under any applicable
law, or under the scheme rules even if the merchant
or other party doesn’t accept responsibility, or we may
otherwise agree to reverse the amount.
(b) See the Electronic Banking Conditions of Use for more
information about liability for unauthorised transactions.
33
20.3 Resolving your dispute under the scheme rules
(a) Sometimes we may be able to help by referring a
dispute you or an Authorised User may have with a TMC,
merchant or other party who accepted the Travel Card
details under the applicable scheme rules. This depends
on the type of dispute and the circumstances.
(b) If the dispute is successful the transaction may be
reversed(sometimes called a chargeback), and we will
credit any refund to the relevant account.
(c) It is important to lodge a merchant related dispute as
soon as possible, as there are time limits which may apply
under the scheme rules.
(d) ANZ does not control any time limits imposed under the
scheme rules. We are not responsible if you don’t meet
the deadlines or provide sufficient information, including
any extra information we reasonably ask for. If you
unreasonably delay providing the required information
we request, we can treat the dispute as withdrawn.
(e) In some cases the TMC, merchant or other party
may not be obliged to reverse the Transaction under
the applicable scheme rules, for example if it was
authenticated using Visa Secure (formerly known as
Verified by Visa). If so, we may accept the merchant’s
refusal to make the reversal.
20.4 Other important information about disputes
(a) We do not accept any liability for goods or services
purchased using Travel Card details, and any complaints
about them must be resolved directly with the TMC,
merchant or other party concerned.
(b) A dispute cannot be lodged with us:
if an Authorised User has made a Transaction that was
outside their authority; or
where a limit or restriction imposed by you on a Travel
Account has not been effective (unless it has not
been effective due to the negligence, fraud or wilful
misconduct of ANZ. In that case, a dispute can be
lodged with us). For more details on when a limit or
restriction may not be effective see clause 4.5.
For these types of ‘unauthorised’ transactions please refer
to Part B of this booklet.
34
(c) If you raise a dispute under this clause, we may make
adjustments (for example when we calculate interest) to
a Travel Account.
21. WHAT ARE ANZ'S COMPLAINT
PROCEDURES?
(a) To make a complaint or provide feedback, or if you think
we have made an error, you can talk to staff at your local
ANZ Branch or Business Centre or call ANZ Cards. We will
do our best to help resolve any issue you may have.
(b) If you are not satisfied with our response, or do not want
to talk to the customer service team, you can contact our
Complaint Resolution Centre. Our specialists will work
with you to resolve your complaint quickly and amicably.
(c) If you are not satisfied with our response you may be
eligible to lodge a complaint with the Australian Financial
Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA offers free, fair,
independent and accessible financial services dispute
resolution.
(d) You can find contact details at the front of this booklet.
(e) Time limits may apply to complaints to AFCA. Please act
promptly and consult the AFCA website to find out if or
when the time limit relevant to your circumstance expires.
(f ) The Electronic Banking Conditions of Use contain further
information on what to do in circumstances when
you believe that there has been an error involving an
electronic access process.
22. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
22.1 Our rights to cancel or suspend card details, block or
close an account and terminate your contract
(a) In addition to our Default Rights, our rights under clause
7.6 and our rights under clause 15 of the Electronic
Banking Conditions of Use, we may cancel or suspend
Travel Card details or block or close a Travel Account, if:
(i) we suspect on reasonable grounds that there has
been, or we reasonably believe it is necessary to
prevent, fraudulent or unauthorised use of a Travel
Account or any Travel Card details;
(ii) we reasonably believe that use of a Travel Account or
any Travel Card details may cause us loss, or that the
cancellation, suspension, closure or block is necessary
to protect our legitimate interests;
35
(iii) we reasonably believe that the use of a Travel Account
or Travel Card details may cause you hardship or loss;
(iv) we become aware that you do not meet, or cease
to meet, our eligibility requirements for the Travel
Account product;
(v) a Travel Account has not been used (meaning no
Transactions or payments have been posted to the
account) for 12 months or more;
(vi) the terms of your Letter of Offer (or any other offer
documentation such as a limit letter) give us the right
to do so; or
(vii) we decide not to reissue Travel Card details under
clause 2.2.
(b) Unless required by law, we may not give notice prior to
cancelling or suspending Travel Card details or blocking or
closing a Travel Account under paragraph (a). If we don’t
give notice before we cancel Travel Card details under
paragraph (a), then we will take reasonable steps to tell the
account holder as soon as practicable afterwards.
(c) We can also cancel or suspend Travel Card details, or
block or close a Travel Account, without giving a reason, if
we give you at least three months notice.
(d) If all Travel Cards for a Travel Account are cancelled then
we may close that account.
(e) If all cards subject to the terms of your Commercial Card
Contract are cancelled then we may close all Accounts
and terminate your Commercial Card Contract.
(f ) We may also close a Travel Account if:
we discontinue or replace a product that has been
provided to you and which is subject to these Travel
Account Terms and there is no alternative product
with similar features to the discontinued or replaced
product that we can offer you; and
we give you at least three months notice.
(g) If a Travel Account is closed under this clause or your
Commercial Card Contract is terminated, the Travel
Account Balance for the applicable Travel Account(s) will
become payable to ANZ on a date we tell you. We will
give you a reasonable period of time to repay the Travel
Account Balance, although we may require you to pay
the amount immediately if we reasonably consider this is
necessary to manage a material and immediate risk.
36
22.2 Your rights to cancel a card, close an account and
terminate your contract
(a) You or an Authorised Signatory can ask us to cancel any
Travel Card details, close any Travel Account or terminate
your Commercial Card Contract.
(b) When we process your request to close a Travel Account
we will also cancel all Travel Card details for that account.
(c) When we process your request to terminate your
Commercial Card Contract we will close all Accounts and
cancel all cards subject to the terms of your Commercial
Card Contract.
(d) Before we close a Travel Account, you will need to pay the
Travel Account Balance.
(e) We will only complete the closure of a Travel Account
and/or terminate your Commercial Card Contract
when we are satisfied, acting reasonably, that all
outstanding amounts have been paid in full and no
further transactions (including, for example, any recurring
transactions or other regular payment arrangements) will
be debited to the account (or to any Account in the case
of termination of your contract).
(f ) Until then, you will still have to pay any amounts required
under the Commercial Card Contract. See clause 22.4.
22.3 What happens after closure or cancellation
(a) If Travel Card details are cancelled under clause 22.1 or
clause 22.2 (as applicable) then the applicable Authorised
Users must not use the cancelled card details and must
securely destroy all card details.
(b) If a Travel Account is blocked or closed under clause 22.1
or clause 22.2 (as applicable) then all Authorised Users for
that account must not use the Travel Card details and you
must not use the account (other than to pay amounts
under clause 22.4). If the account is closed, the Travel Card
details for that account must also be securely destroyed.
(c) If all Travel Card details on an account are cancelled under
clause 22.1 or clause 22.2 (as applicable) and you have a
positive Travel Account Balance when we cancel the card
details, then we will pay you the Travel Account Balance
(unless those funds have been remitted as unclaimed
money in accordance with the law or have been applied
by us in accordance with clause 31.4). In order to pay
the balance to you, we may need you to provide us with
payment details.
37
22.4 Amounts that can still be payable after closure or
cancellation
(a) Even if any Travel Card details for an account have been
cancelled or a Travel Account has been blocked or closed,
in each case under clause 22.1 or clause 22.2, debits may
still be processed to that account. For example, this can
happen if:
a Transaction has been made but is not processed
until after cancellation; or
a Transaction is made where authorisation is
not needed, such as a recurring transaction or a
Transaction where systems are off-line.
This may happen even if you paid the Travel Account
Balance to zero. If it happens, you will have to repay those
Transaction amounts, together with any related interest
and fees.
(b) Standing authorities and other regular payment
arrangements may not automatically be cancelled and
you or an Authorised User should cancel them directly
with the TMC, merchant or other party (see clause 7.4).
(c) You must also continue to pay all other amounts required
under the Commercial Card Contract, including fees and
interest. This can include annual or other periodic fees,
which may continue to apply in accordance with your
Commercial Card Contract if you have an outstanding
Commercial Card Account Balance at a relevant time.
22.5 Suspension of Travel Card details
(a) This clause applies if we have suspended use of Travel
Card details under clause 22.1.
(b) If we have suspended Travel Card details because you
haven’t paid an amount due then you may be able to
start using it again once you have made those payments
(unless we have cancelled the card details). In other
circumstances, if appropriate, we will tell you what you
need to do for your Travel Card details to be reinstated.
(c) Even if Travel Card details have been suspended, debits
may still be processed to a Travel Account. This can
include transactions under a standing authority (though
some transactions under a standing authority may not be
processed after suspension, for example if they require
authorisation which we decline). If debits are processed
to a Travel Account, you will have to repay those
38
amounts, together with any interest, fees and charges
relating to them.
(d) You must also continue to pay all other amounts required
under the Commercial Card Contract.
(e) If we suspend Travel Card details, then in our discretion we
can decide to reinstate them, or we may cancel the card
details in accordance with our rights under clause 22.1.
23. DEFAULT
23.1 What is an event of default?
Each of the following is an event of default.
(a) The Principal fails to pay an amount due under the
Commercial Card Contract within two ANZ Business Days’
of its due date.
(b) ANZ believes on reasonable grounds that an Authorised
User, Authorised Signatory and/or the Principal has been
engaging in fraudulent or illegal activity.
(c) The Principal goes into administration, liquidation,
receivership or commits an act of bankruptcy.
(d) A representation or statement made or any information
given to us, by you, in connection with your Commercial
Card Contract, is materially incorrect or misleading when
made or given.
(e) There is a change in the Principal’s legal status, in the
capacity in which it enters into any arrangement with
ANZ or in its composition (such as a change in the
partners making up a partnership). And, in each case,
ANZ has not given its prior written consent.
(f ) A person repossesses or seizes all or a material part of the
property of the Principal, or obtains a judgment against
the Principal allowing them to repossess or seize such
property.
(g) The Principal or any other person deals with any asset
in breach of the Commercial Card Contract, unless ANZ
provides its prior consent to the proposed dealing.
Examples of deals with are sale of an asset, leasing it,
mortgaging it or lodging a caveat against it.
(h) A material change in the direct or indirect ownership or
control of a Principal occurs and ANZ has not given its
prior written consent (which ANZ will not unreasonably
withhold).
39
(i) The Principal loses a licence or permit that it needs to
conduct or operate its business.
(j) The Principal fails to provide any financial information
by the date ANZ asked for it, or fails to maintain any
insurance that is required under the Commercial Card
Contract.
(k) Travel Card details or a Travel Account is used for an
unlawful purpose.
(l) Anything else that you agree with us is an event of
default.
23.2 What happens following an event of default?
(a) If an event of default occurs under clause 23.1(a) and the
additional requirement in this clause 23.2(a) has been
met, we may exercise our Default Rights.
The additional requirement is that either:
if we demand that you pay all or part of a Travel
Account Balance then the payment date we tell you
will be at least 30 days after we give you the demand;
or
we will not exercise our Default Rights under clause
23.3(d) or (e) unless we first give you 30 days notice.
In each case we can give you a shorter notice period,
or no notice at all, if it is reasonable for us to do this to
manage a material and immediate risk relating to the
nature of the default, your circumstances or the value
of any security that secures an obligation under the
Commercial Card Contract.
If you fix the failure to pay during the period set out in
our demand or notice, and no other failure to pay has
arisen, then we will not enforce the terms of our demand
or we will not exercise our Default Rights after you fix it.
(b) If an event of default occurs under clause 23.1(b) to (k)
and any additional requirements in this clause 23.2(b)
have been met, we may exercise our Default Rights.
The additional requirements are:
Materiality Assessment: we may only exercise our
Default Rights if the event of default is by its nature
material, or we reasonably consider the event has had, or
is likely to have, a material impact on:
the Principal’s ability to meet their financial obligations
to us (or our ability to assess this);
40
our security risk (or our ability to assess this); or
our legal or reputational risk where an event of default
under clause 23.1(b), (d) or (k) has occurred.
Remedy Period: if the event of default can be fixed, we
will give you a notice setting out the default and how
long you have to fix it. We will usually give you 30 days
to fix it, however we can give you a shorter period if it
is reasonable for us to do this to manage a material and
immediate risk relating to the nature of the default, your
circumstances or the value of any security that secures an
obligation under the Commercial Card Contract.
If you fix the default during the period set out in our
notice, and no other default of the same type has arisen,
then we will not exercise our Default Rights.
(c) If anything else occurs that you have agreed with us
is an event of default, we may exercise our Default
Rights but only if we have given you an opportunity to
fix the default in accordance with the Remedy Period
requirement set out above. If you fix the default during
the period set out in our notice, and no other default of
the same type has arisen, then we will not exercise our
Default Rights.
23.3 What are ANZ’s Default Rights?
When your Commercial Card Contract says we may exercise
our Default Rights, then we can do any one or more of the
following things, called Default Rights.
(a) Demand that you pay all or part of a Travel Account
Balance. If we do this, our demand will tell you the date
by which you must pay. You will be given a reasonable
period of time in which to pay although we may require
you to pay the amount immediately if we reasonably
consider this is necessary to manage a material and
immediate risk.
(b) Change any term of your Commercial Card Contract,
cancel or suspend any Travel Card details or terminate
your Commercial Card Contract.
(c) Suspend or not perform any of our obligations under
your Commercial Card Contract.
(d) Take action under any security that secures an obligation
under the Commercial Card Contract. For example, we
may take possession of any secured property or sell it or
appoint a receiver to do so.
41
(e) Sue you for all or part of a Travel Account Balance.
(f ) Do anything else that we have agreed with you or that is
allowed under the law.
In some cases the exercise of our Default Rights may be
restricted by law. In addition, when we exercise our Default
Rights, a law or industry code (such as the Banking Code of
Practice) may require a minimum notice period or a particular
delivery method to be given. If they do, then we will use the
method and give you at least the notice they require.
Any amount reasonably incurred or expended by ANZ in
exercising its Default Rights (including expenses reasonably
incurred by ANZ staff and facilities) are enforcement expenses
and become part of a Travel Account Balance. ANZ may debit
a Travel Account for such amounts pursuant to an agreement
with you or following a demand or provision of a default notice
in relation to those enforcement expenses. We can also charge
interest on the amount under clause 13.
24. COMMUNICATION WITH AUTHORISED
USERS AND TMCS
(a) ANZ may communicate with Authorised Users, in respect
of any loss, theft or possible unauthorised use of Travel
Card details or any cancellation of Travel Card details or
closure of a Travel Account by ANZ.
(b) ANZ may also communicate with a TMC.
Communications may relate to Enhanced Data, any loss,
theft or possible unauthorised use of Travel Card details
or any cancellation of the Commercial Card Contract by
ANZ.

Contract shall be joint and several.

difficulty. We will, with your agreement, try and help you
overcome any financial difficulties, including for example,
developing a repayment plan.
29. INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
If a Travel Account is an inactive account (meaning no
Transactions or payments have been posted to the account for
12 months or more) and it has a credit balance, ANZ may, if it
does not close the account in accordance with clause 22, hold
the credit balance for the Principal in a separate account until
such time as the Principal claims those funds or ANZ is required
to remit those funds as unclaimed money in accordance with
the law, whichever occurs first.

These Travel Account Terms are governed by the laws of the
State of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia.
31. GENERAL MATTERS

ANZ Business Day.

held with us, or set off an amount in one account against an
amount in another, even if the accounts are not both credit
card accounts or if they are held at different branches. This
means, for example, that the credit in one account can be
used to repay all or part of the outstanding balance in another
account. We do not need to give notice to you before we do
this, but will promptly tell you once it has been completed. You
should not treat your accounts as combined unless we have
agreed to do so.
31.5 Force majeure
To the extent permitted by any applicable law or industry
code, ANZ will not be liable to the Principal or any Authorised
User for any loss or damage (whether direct or consequential),

- securitisation or other finance structure; and
give information about your contract and your obligations
under it to any assignee of ANZ’s rights under your contract,
or anyone who is considering becoming an assignee.

and above the applicable Other Policy.
If you make a claim under another insurance policy and you
are not paid the full amount of the claim, then, subject to the
provisions of the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth), the cover
available to you under the Group Policy will make up the
difference, to the extent of cover that applies, in accordance
with the terms and conditions contained in this booklet.
We may seek contribution from your other insurer. You must
give us any information that we reasonably require to help us
make a claim from the other insurer.

CLAIMS
How to make a claim
Please do not contact ANZ in the event of a claim.
First check that you are entitled to claim by reading the
appropriate section in this booklet, especially Section D of
this part, to see exactly what is, and is not covered, noting
particularly any conditions, limitations and exclusions.
Allianz Global Assistance administers the benefits available
under the Group Policy. You should give Allianz Global
Assistance notice of your claim as soon as possible.
You are not covered for any claim made after termination
of, or the expiry of the period of insurance specified in,
the Group Policy. ANZ will provide you with details of any
replacement cover.

Allianz Global Assistance will consider your claim within
10 business days of receiving a completed claim form
and all necessary documentation. If they need additional
information, a written notification will be sent to you within
10 business days.
If there is a delay in claim notification, or you do not provide
sufficient detail for Allianz Global Assistance to consider your
claim, we can reduce any claim payable by the amount of
prejudice we have suffered because of the delay.
You should give any information Allianz Global Assistance
reasonably asks for to support your claim at your expense,
such as but not limited to police reports and communications
to the accountholder. If required Allianz Global Assistance
may ask you to provide them with translations into English
of any such documents to enable their consideration of your
claim.
You should co-operate at all times in relation to providing
supporting evidence and such other information that may
reasonably be required.
How GST may affect your claim
If you are entitled to claim an input tax credit in respect of
a cost for which a claim is made, or would be entitled to an
input tax credit if you were to incur the relevant cost (i.e.
in replacing a lost or stolen item), the amount we would
otherwise pay will be reduced by the amount of that input
tax credit.
Claims are payable in Australian dollars
We will pay all claims in Australian dollars. We will pay you
unless you tell us to pay someone else. The rate of currency
exchange that will apply is the rate at the time you incurred
the expense. Payment will be made by direct credit to a bank
account nominated by you.
Recovery
If we have a claim against someone in relation to the money
we have to pay or we have paid, you must take reasonable
steps to help us do that in legal proceedings. If you are aware
of any third party that you or we may recover money from,
you should inform us of such third party.
When making a claim you should tell us about any other
insurance under which you are or might be able to claim. If
you can claim from another insurer and we also pay you in
respect of the same insured event, then you will be required
61
to refund to us the amount we paid if the other insurer also
paid you.
You cannot claim from us and from the other insurer to
obtain an aggregate amount that exceeds your loss.
If during the period of cover made available, you suffer a loss
which is not covered by the Group Policy, we may offer to
attempt to recover your uninsured loss for you.
You may specifically ask us to recover this for you however,
we have no obligation to do so. You will need to give us
documents supporting your loss. Before we include any
uninsured loss in a recovery action we will also ask you to
agree to the basis on which we will handle your uninsured
recovery action. You may need to contribute to legal costs in
some circumstances.
We will apply any money we recover from someone else
under a right of subrogation in the following order:
1. To us, our costs (administration and legal) arising from the
recovery.
2. To us, an amount equal to the amount that we paid to
you under the Group Policy.
3. To you, your uninsured loss (less your excess).
4. To you, your excess.
Once we pay your total loss (including your uninsured loss
and any excess) we will keep all money left over.
If we have paid your total loss and you receive a payment
from someone else for that loss or damage, you will need to
pay us the amount of that payment up to the amount of the
claim we paid you.
Fraud
When making a claim you have a responsibility to assist us
and to act in an honest and truthful manner.
If any claim is fraudulent in any way or if you or anyone acting
on your behalf uses fraudulent means to make a claim on
the cover described in this booklet, then no payment will be
made in regard to the claim. Also ANZ will be informed of
the situation and you may no longer be eligible for the cover
described in this part.
