General Banking Equiries

Whether you are emigrating to Australia or New Zealand, arranging your finances in advance with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd is one of the best moves you can make.

ANZ has operations in 28 countries, is one of the largest banks in Australia and together with our wholly owned subsidiary, The National Bank of New Zealand, we are the largest bank in New Zealand.

When you’re planning your move, you’ll have enough to think about without worrying where to keep your money. You can apply for an ANZ bank account in either Australia or New Zealand before you arrive and our New York team can assist you in putting together the documents and information needed.

ANZ has a dedicated team in the USA who will help you set up your accounts and introduce you to your new relationship manager in either Australia or New Zealand.
