Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, known as ANZ, is a major banking group headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Its history dates to 1835, and the present-day organization was formed in 1951 through the merger of the Bank of Australasia and the Union Bank of Australia. ANZ serves customers across Australia, New Zealand and selected markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
The company provides retail and commercial banking services, including transaction and savings accounts, home and personal lending, credit cards, business finance, payments and insurance-related products. Through its institutional banking operations, ANZ offers lending, trade finance, cash management, markets, treasury and advisory services to corporate, institutional and government customers.
ANZ also operates through New Zealand banking activities and maintains a presence in several Pacific and Asian markets. In 2024, the group completed its acquisition of Suncorp Bank, expanding its Australian banking operations while Suncorp’s insurance business remained outside the transaction. ANZ is led by Chief Executive Officer Nuno Matos.
