About us
We’ve been helping New Zealanders find the right financial solutions to suit their lives since 1861. We first opened back then as The Bank of New South Wales, and then changed our name to Westpac in 1982. Along the way we’ve grown stronger by joining forces with the Commercial Bank of Australia and Trust Bank – to become Westpac New Zealand Limited. We bank all sorts of people and businesses – from young children, to first home-owners through to big corporates and the New Zealand Government. Nearly a quarter of all Kiwis bank with Westpac, so we’ve got great experience and knowledge to draw on when it comes to helping people with their very first bank account, all the way through to their retirement. With more than 200 branches, and nearly 500 ATMs, we’re one of New Zealand’s largest banks. We provide a full range of banking and financial services for personal, business and agribusiness banking.

Hear about the unique way Ashlei gets to own her home by paying affordable ground rent to the landowner - her iwi Ngā Pōtiki - via their Manawa Community Housing Trust. If you want to get into a first home sooner like Ashlei, talk to us today and check out the potential options available to all New Zealanders in our newly-published Shared Home Ownership Report: https://lnkd.in/gEr6QA6u #FirstHomeSooner #SharedEquity #TogetherGreater Westpac's eligibility criteria, home loan lending criteria and T&Cs apply.

Congratulations to our kaimahi (staff) who recently completed a 20-week Tikanga Māori programme in partnership with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. The final wānanga was held last week at our Takutai Square offices in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Graduate Heiko Jonkers said the course was "fascinating and enlightening". "I learned not just what tikanga is, but its significance in both traditional and modern contexts. I’m grateful for the experience and encourage others in the Westpac whānau to explore and learn more.” Whaowhia te kete mātauranga (fill the basket of knowledge) #TogetherGreater #WestpacDoubleYou

Reuben Tucker, our Managing Director Institutional & Business Banking, loves to set himself epic challenges to help out great causes. Earlier this year, he took part in an extended #ChopperBikeRide, cycling 870km (!!) from Christchurch to Queenstown to help out Chopper trusts. Now, he's saddling up again (though in slightly warmer conditions!). Reuben, along with 16 other riders, is taking part in the Cure Kids Fiji 500, a four-day, 500km ride around the island of Viti Levu, to raise funds for the Cure Kids Fiji Oxygen Project. More details here https://lnkd.in/g8dDEbwv All Westpac NZ employees get two volunteer days each year to help out a cause they're passionate about, as well as five wellbeing days to use for whatever's important to them. Nice work on using yours for such meaningful challenges Reuben! 🚵♂️ 💪 💛 #WestpacDoubleYou #TogetherGreater Marc Figgins Martin G.
