ANZ – Building Accessible, Secure Online Banking at Scale
ANZ is one of Australia’s largest banks — trusted by millions for their personal and business finances. When regulatory changes required a full-featured online banking experience alongside their mobile app, the challenge was clear: build something secure, accessible, and robust enough to serve every customer.
We were brought in to support ANZ’s internal teams as they delivered high-stakes features under intense deadlines — from transfers and BPay to PayID and BSB payments — all while meeting strict accessibility and brand compliance standards.
Trusted engineering support, embedded with one of Australia’s most mission-critical platforms.

The Challenge
Originally built as a mobile-first product, ANZ’s new online banking experience needed to evolve quickly — in response to updated requirements from Australia’s financial regulator.
This meant building a full-featured web experience from the ground up, with complex functionality, strict compliance, and accessibility standards that had to be met at every level.
Our team was brought in to help support this rollout — embedding directly with ANZ’s senior engineers to accelerate delivery of payment features across BPay, PayID, and BSB.
Our Approach
Working closely with ANZ’s internal teams, we helped build out the payments interface with a focus on clarity, performance, and compliance. Every piece of UI needed to be accessible, every interaction rigorously tested, and every flow deeply considered.
We followed their in-house design system and component framework to ensure consistency with brand and UX standards, while contributing to component architecture and extending internal libraries where needed.
Our role was to support — bringing speed, reliability, and frontend discipline to one of Australia’s most high-stakes digital environments.
The Platform
Our work focused on one of the most critical parts of online banking: payments. Working within ANZ’s systems, we helped deliver intuitive, accessible interfaces for everyday banking tasks — from transfers to bill payments and everything in between.
Payments & Transfers
We helped build and refine the payments layer — enabling customers to transfer funds via BSB, PayID, and BPay through a single, unified interface.
Each flow was designed to be highly accessible and compliant — with careful attention to keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and visual contrast.
- BPay, PayID, and BSB transfer support
- Contextual UI for different payment types
- Real-time validation and error feedback
- Accessible, WCAG-compliant interactions
Design System & Codebase Integration
ANZ maintains a large-scale design system and internal component framework. We worked within this system to ensure every contribution met brand, UX, and technical requirements.
Where needed, we extended base components or built context-specific implementations that matched visual and behavioural expectations without fragmenting the codebase.
- Strict adherence to internal accessibility guidelines
- Extension of existing components (modals, forms, toggles)
- Refined responsive behaviours for larger screens
- Collaborated closely with senior ANZ engineers
Outcomes & Observations
With ANZ, the stakes were high: every release had to be stable, accessible, and compliant. There was no room for shortcuts — and no margin for error.
We helped extend the team’s delivery capacity during a critical stage — contributing to production-ready payment features, improving accessibility coverage, and ensuring brand consistency across the web experience.
- Enabled rollout of key transfer features under tight deadlines
- Helped scale a mobile-first product to fully support desktop banking
- Improved accessibility across interactive components and payment flows
- Supported one of Australia’s largest digital banking builds to date
Why It Worked
We didn’t try to reinvent the system. We focused on delivering high-quality, accessible features inside a fast-moving, enterprise-scale codebase — while staying aligned with ANZ’s internal teams.
By embedding directly and committing to their standards, we helped ANZ scale safely — without slowing down.
