Hey folks! 😊


Hope everyone's having a great day. So, I've got a bit of a conundrum and I reckon you all are just the crowd to help me untangle it.


Here is the situation: I have an ANZ foreign currency account (USD) and found myself with a nice little surplus of USD cash after a recent trip. Nothing massive, just a few K. Now, I thought it'd be a straightforward task to deposit this directly into my account. Lo and behold, ANZ has other ideas! 🙄


According to their website (https://www.anz.co.nz/comms/foreign-cash/), it seems they've stopped direct deposits or withdrawals of foreign cash in branches. But, they do mention we can digitally deposit and withdraw foreign currencies via electronic transfers between ANZ accounts or international money transfers.


Now, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the most cost-effective method to deposit this USD cash into my foreign currency account. Any suggestions?


Really appreciate any tips or hacks you folks might have up your sleeves. 🙏
