## Why Cashrewards shut down

ANZ Bank, which owned Cashrewards via its 1835i venture arm, closed the platform as part of a broader corporate restructure. The decision was announced on 8 September 2025 and the platform was fully decommissioned on 24 October 2025. Despite paying out $165 million in lifetime cashback to 2.5 million members, the business was deemed non-core to ANZ's strategic direction.

## How OzSavers replaces Cashrewards for you

That means no more juggling six tabs, no missed boosted rates, and no leaving cashback or points on the table. We make our money from the same partner platforms, so it stays free for you.
