The pair, who are not believed to be known to each other, were captured on CCTV carrying out the same crime in South Auckland less than a week apart.
In the first incident, a man withdrew a large amount of cash from a victim's bank account at an ANZ bank ATM on Hunters Corner, Papatoetoe on January 22, police said.
The eftpos card had been lost when its owner dropped his wallet on Great South Road earlier that day.
The second incident involved bank cards from an elderly man's stolen wallet.
Police said the wallet had been reported as stolen on January 20, and since then a woman has been captured on camera using bank cards from the wallet to withdraw cash in the Otara area.
"These offenders have shown that they have no issue using someone else's cards to get access to their money," Detective Malakai Tohi of the Counties Manukau police financial investigation group said.
"We'd like to apprehend them as soon as possible and we know that someone will recognise the people in the pictures."
