Improve financial wellbeing and deliver sustainable returns

Our skilled team of specialists help customers start, run, and grow their business by providing tailored solutions, latest business insights, and industry expertise. We have a large presence throughout New Zealand with valuable connections to key industry players and access to other specialists across ANZ’s global network. 

Our bankers have extensive expertise and in-depth knowledge of banking and finance helping our customers in agribusiness, legal, accountancy, food and beverage, early childcare education, healthcare, and property finance sectors. 

Businesses are the backbone of the New Zealand economy and ANZ proudly banks – and backs – more businesses than any other bank. We support customers with simple business needs right through to the largest privately-owned businesses.

Agri business

Our primary and export sectors play a vital role in driving economic prosperity and ANZ works with more individual farming businesses than any other bank. We’ve been a part of New Zealand’s rural community for over 150 years and remain committed to supporting our primary industries not just now, but long into the future. 

Farmers have adapted to shifting customer and consumer preferences and public expectations, especially around sustainability, traceability and their environmental footprint. We lend to farmers who want to buy their first farms, as well as help them with their succession plans, whether that’s for their families or their retirement. 

Retail business

Our retail business team provides expert service to privately run businesses from start-ups to established companies. Ranging from early childcare education, healthcare, to property finance, we help our customers drive value using our market connections, and by making their banking as easy as possible.

Commercial business

Strong relationships are important for business success, which is why we support our commercial customers with access to knowledge, insights and connections to help them achieve their growth aspirations.

Our customers have access to the largest specialist banking teams in New Zealand which means we contribute an in-depth understanding of solutions to manage their payments, mitigate risks, fund their growth and ultimately, manage their personal wealth.
