About ANZ Bank
ANZ Bank is New Zealand’s largest financial services group. Until 2012, the bank operated as ANZ National Bank but was renamed after that brand merged with ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) Group. The bank now operates as a subsidiary of ANZ Banking Group.
What eventually became the ANZ we know today started life in 1840 when Union Bank of Australia, a British bank, established itself in New Zealand as a bank for settlers. After a series of mergers and exponential growth, the bank moved its headquarters to Melbourne, Australia, in 1976. A new New Zealand head office was opened in Wellington in 1983.
ANZ purchased PostBank in 1989 and National Bank of New Zealand (from Lloyds TSB) in 2003. ING NZ was purchased in 2010, forming the OnePath subsidiary. This acquisition gave the bank increased access to investment advice for investment and insurance services it offered.
ANZ New Zealand has several brands, including UDC Finance, Direct Broking and Bonus Bonds. The bank also has international offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, New York and London.
