ANZ Personal Loans
ANZ is one of the largest banks in New Zealand, offering bank accounts, credit cards, insurance, loans, savings accounts and investments. 
ANZ was started in 1840 when Union Bank of Australia (UBA), a British bank, opened in New Zealand to provide banking services to settlers. It became the Australia and New Zealand Bank (ANZ Bank) in 1951 when UBA and the Bank of Australasia merged.
ANZ’s New Zealand head office was opened in Wellington in 1983, and acquired The National Bank in 2003; it was then brought under the ANZ brand in 2012.
ANZ is currently one of New Zealand’s largest companies based on profit and assets. Nearly 20% of all employees in the New Zealand finance and insurance sector work for ANZ. ANZ employs approximately 9000 people throughout the country.
