Australia and New Zealand Banking Group

ANZ

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZBGL) is one of the largest banking groups in Australia and New Zealand. It provides a wide range of banking and financial products to retail, small business, corporate and institutional clients. Since 3 January 2023 the ASX-listed parent company of the group has been ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ASX: ANZ), which replaced ANZBGL as the listed entity under a scheme of arrangement; ANZBGL continues as its principal operating subsidiary. ANZ employs about 42,700 full-time equivalent staff and operates in close to 30 markets around the world, including more than 10 markets across Asia. ANZ’s history can be traced to the Bank of Australasia, which opened its first office in Sydney in 1835 and established a Melbourne office in 1838, where ANZ's headquarters is located today. In 2003, ANZ purchased National Bank of New Zealand from Lloyds TSB. In 2009, ANZ acquired ING Australia and created the wealth management division consisting of INGA, ANZ Private, Investment and Insurance, E Trade, and ANZ Financial Planning. In 2010, ANZ completed acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland's retail and commercial businesses in Hong Kong and Taiwan. On July 31, 2024, ANZ completed the acquisition of Suncorp Bank, adding about 1.2 million customers and around 3,000 staff. For the financial year ended September 30, 2025, ANZ reported total assets of A$1,297.108 billion, net assets of A$71.867 billion and a market capitalization of A$99.1 billion.
