The Online Multi-Currency Account (OMCA) allows you to hold balances in up to
10 different currencies, to manage those balances
online and to easily settle international trades in their home currency.
The OMCA removes the restriction of settling your international trades in New
Zealand Dollars (NZD), thus giving you control to separate your share trading
decisions from your currency decisions.
If funds are available at the time you place your order, you can settle your AU
trades in Australian Dollars (AUD), your US trades in US Dollars (USD) and your
UK trades in British Pounds (GBP).
Our online interface also allows you to request a transfer between any currency
pair or request a transfer to your nominated NZD National Bank account.
You will earn a competitive interest rate on balances in many currencies and
while there is a currency conversion fee whenever you request a transfer from
one currency to another, there are no transaction fees, monthly account fees or
withdrawal fees.
In addition, dividends from US and/or UK custody holdings paid in USD, GBP or
Euro (EUR) can be paid directly into the appropriate OMCA account, giving
you the choice of when (or if) to convert to NZD.
Just like a regular bank account, we will send you a statement every month and
a Resident Withholding Tax (RWT) certificate at the end of the tax year.

The OMCA is only available if you have an existing National Bank Share and Bond Trading account or if
you are establishing an OMCA in conjunction with a new National Bank Share and Bond Trading account

All funds are held by ANZ National Bank Limited
