SBS EFTPOS card

EFTPOS is a simple, easy way to make purchases in person with your own funds, and to access ATM machines. The SBS EFTPOS card is free to use, and has no monthly fees.

The original way to pay direct from your account.

Easy to use

  • No monthly fees.
  • Use in person to purchase at stores.
  • Accepted by almost all retailers in New Zealand.
  • Choose up to two SBS accounts to access with your card.
  • We automatically reissue your card before it expires.
  • EFTPOS has no fees for retailers, so they don’t apply a surcharge.
  • You use your secret four-digit personal ID number (PIN) to authorise each purchase.
