Cashing in your Bonus Bonds

Cashing in your Bonus Bonds is easy.

You can do this:

• Online through MyBonusBonds, or
• By completing a Bonus Bonds Redemption Request Form at an ANZ branch or PostShop (you'll need to show appropriate identification to verify your identity and signature).

Bonus Bonds purchased within the last 10 business days can't be cashed in via MyBonusBonds - you'll need to come into an ANZ branch or PostShop.

How long does it take through MyBonusBonds?

If you make a cash in request through MyBonusBonds before 7pm on a business day, you'll normally receive payment two business days later. (For example, if you submit your request on Monday before 7pm you'll normally receive payment on Wednesday). For requests after 7pm or on weekends or public holidays, add an extra business day.

How long does it take at an ANZ branch or PostShop?

If you make a cash in request at an ANZ branch or PostShop, you'll normally receive payment within five working days.

Cash in price

The price of Bonus Bonds has remained unchanged at $1 each since Bonus Bonds began in 1970, and we intend that it will stay that way. While the value of units is subject to change in the value of underlying investments, the Bonus Bonds Trust invests in a conservative mix of investments, which we expect will allow the price to remain constant through varying market conditions.

Emergency cash ins and fees

Through an ANZ branch

You can make an emergency cash in at an ANZ branch up to 3:30pm on a business day and receive your money on the same day. A fee of $60 applies and will be deducted from the Bonus Bonds cashed in.

Through MyBonusBonds

If you make an emergency cash in request through MyBonusBonds before 7pm on a business day, you'll receive payment in the morning on the following business day. For emergency requests submitted after 7pm or on weekends and public holidays, add an extra business day. A fee of $15 applies and will be deducted from the Bonus Bonds cashed in.
