If you opened the ANZ app after school pick-up and got “Temporarily unavailable,” you’re not alone.

Reports of problems began just after 2pm today, with thousands flagging issues on Downdetector.

ATMs, Eftpos and PayWave are still working, and balances are not affected.

That means Coasties can still tap to pay in shops, but some online banking and app logins may fail for now.

Locals might see delays paying tradies or sports subs this afternoon.

If you need to move money urgently, call ANZ on 0800 269 296.

Phone banking remains an option while digital channels are patchy.

For live outage reports, Downdetector’s New Zealand page is tracking the spike.
