I usually use ASB due to the no custodial fees. With ANZ - why is there both a private client account as well as a NZD OMCA? Also to transfer funds into ANZ Securities we need to use those details, how long does it take to clear? Also when you transfer to your own normal ANZ bank account how long does that take?
With ASB - we can just use Internet banking and it happens instantly.....
Cheers.

Yeah ANZ is a bit confusing & cumbersome compared to ASB in some ways. The OMCA account is kinda the same as the ASB cash management account. Except unlike ASB where it is a single account in your name, from what I can make out , ANZ is a pooled account i.e all customers money is in the same account and your individual balance is tracked by your client number. The OMCA is where the trades are settled i.e. once the sale completes the money is deposited or withdrawn from this account. Normally 2 days after your trade depending what market you’re trading. Note the OMCA is multi currency which is hugely beneficial when trading say Aussie shares as you can settle in Aussie dollars and don’t continually get stung with exchange rate fees. (ASB also have other currency accounts but you need to ring them and set them up where ANZ have them ready to go)
The trading account tracks your pre-settle balance. Same as what’s in the top right corner of the ASB securities screen. This is the ‘how much you will have once all your trades are settled’ account. It’s more of a fund tracker than an actual account.
If your actively trading then hands down use ASB as their system is much faster (in most cases instant). The benefit of speed hugely outstrips the benefit of the cheaper brokerage from ANZ. Time is money when trading and ANZ require a broker to place the trade for you. They may be on the loo or at lunch or chatting to their mates about the weekend. I have waited 15 minutes for a trade to get placed with ANZ before and then it took them another 2 hours to process it so the money was unavailable in my trading account. This quite frankly is piss poor. ASBs appears to be much more automated so money can be spent within a few seconds of your last sell.
Transfering money from your OMCA is the same as transferring it from bank to bank as ANZ Securities appears to be completely separate from ANZ banking. Transfers will be done ‘overnight’ -
04-11-2017, 10:13 AMrayonlineOh really. So what we seen with ATM the other day, if I do a BUY and see the price changing it would be delayed with ANZ? I don't usually do that but it's something to note.Quote:

I like at least with ANZ how you can get quotes with US stocks and there is a BUY button online. -

I must admit that I have never had more than a 3-4 minute delay in placing my order with ANZ Sec and usually it is a lot less than that.
Also money from a sale of shares is available a few minutes after transaction.
Transfers of money into your account appear the next business day. Transfers out appear in you account in the evening. I do however bank with the ANZ so that may not apply to other banks. -
04-11-2017, 11:38 PMt.rexjrYes with ANZ there is a delay so in a pressure situation like the other day with ATM that could mean your more likely to miss your price point than with ASB securities. I agree with 777. Other than that particularly slow trade I mentioned, the longest it would normally be is 3-4 minutes with money available a few minutes after that. Too slow when opperating as a trader in my opinion so I trade through ASB and my investment Portfolio is with ANZ where speed is less vital. I do find ANZs market data is better though so there are benefits. I tend to do most of my tracking on ANZ for that reasonQuote:

So to get money to a third party bank it seems that you must withdraw it from your OMCA account, deposit it into your ANZ bank account then repeat the process to your other banks account. I’m not sure if you can load your other banks account in as an option direct from the OMCA. I had a look a while back and couldn’t see how youd do that so the couple of times I’ve transferred money out I’ve had to go through that crazy ordeal.
if you time it right you can get money into your other banks account that same day now that banks are processing their transaction more frequently. I know Westpac process hourly now.
Anyway, as it sounds like you’re coming from using the ASB system be prepared to be mildly frustrated with the comparative efficiency... -

I find the ASB colour layout etc .. is better and no custodial fees. Yes, I have both but only been using ASB.
On My Account page I see this ... I see both the OMCA and the private client account.

05-11-2017, 08:36 AMblackcapThe private client account is where your trades both buys and sells go before they are settled. IF you sell there will be a credit in the private client account until T+2 has passed and then that credit will go to your Online Multi Currency account. If you do a BUY a dr will be there till you pay and or funds are withdrawn from your Online Multi Currency account. Hope that helps.Quote:

One big downside with the ANZ Securities OMCA is their handling of foreign currencies in the OMCA account. If you have a balance in say USD due to the sale of securities, the only way to transfer it elsewhere is to convert to NZD first (incurring their 0.89% margin). These aren't real bank accounts and are very restrictive when you want to access cash.

ANZ SEC to be sold to FNZC ????
Just received notification that ANZ Securities is to be sold to FNZC and to be run under the label DirektBroking.
Can't find what FNZC fee structure for their services normally is - has anyone got any pointers?? -
20-11-2017, 01:58 PMJay
I would think the fees would have to be the same as currently, otherwise they will have customers leaving, maybe they will reduce the fees :p
-
20-11-2017, 02:09 PMstoplossLogically it would be cheaper , as I would assume FNZC wouldn't have the same credit rating as ANZ ???Quote:

I am sure there will be changes using their platform, just interested if there has been any updates, this is meant to start soon.
-
30-07-2018, 04:33 PM777My take is the same platform will continue. It is only an ownership change.Quote:
