About ANZ
ANZ, formally known as the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, is one of the largest banking and financial services organizations in the world, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It operates across 32 global markets, including Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Pacific, Europe, America, and the Middle East, serving over 8.5 million business and retail customers[1]. ANZ is recognized as one of the "Big Four" banks in Australia, offering a broad spectrum of financial services such as wealth management, corporate and institutional banking, investment banking, and personal banking. Founded nearly 200 years ago, ANZ has evolved into a diversified banking group with significant market leadership in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, ANZ focuses heavily on retail and institutional banking, commercial banking, wealth management, and sustainable finance, catering to almost 6 million customers. In New Zealand, its strength lies in wealth management through its subsidiary ANZ Investments, the country’s largest fund manager, alongside corporate and small business banking[1]. ANZ’s current strategic vision, called ANZ 2030, emphasizes four pillars: putting customers first by delivering superior, technology-driven experiences; achieving simplicity through organizational efficiency; enhancing resilience by leading in trust and risk management; and delivering sustained value for stakeholders. This strategy aims to enhance productivity and competitiveness while focusing on digital innovation and customer-centric services[2]. Technologically, ANZ is advancing real-time payment systems, exemplified by its 2024 launch of ANZ Express Payments, which integrates international SWIFT transfers with domestic real-time payments in Australia. This innovation improves operational efficiency, customer service, and cash flow management for institutional clients[7]. In recent years, ANZ has faced regulatory scrutiny over risk culture and non-financial risk management, leading to commitments to reform and capital overlays to address these issues[5]. Despite challenges, ANZ maintains robust financial performance with growth in loans and deposits, underpinning its strong market position. Overall
