NZAMI Business Partners
ANZ - NZAMI Business Partner
NZAMI is proud to be associated with ANZ. Both the NZAMI and ANZ enjoy strong mutual benefits from the partnership.
ANZ offers migrant banking services through its dedicated International Banking Services team which includes a specialist Asian Banking team, staffed with Asian language speakers. These specialist teams understand the needs of new residents and can work with migrants in the language they are most comfortable with.
Of particular advantage for new residents is that the bank can set up and manage new accounts until they arrive in New Zealand.
The International Banking Services team has knowledge of the needs of new migrants and can assist with a range of settlement issues.
The clients of NZAMI members may attend ANZ business seminars and workshops at no cost. These seminars are an invaluable source of information to new residents on how to set up and manage their businesses in New Zealand.
