ANZ Institutional has been recognised for the strength of its customer relationships, after receiving the best-ever score in Peter Lee’s yearly relationship measure.
According to the latest Peter Lee Associates Large Corporate & Institutional Relationship Banking Survey Australia, ANZ received the number one ranking in its relationship strength index (RSI), and the highest score in the history of the survey.
It’s the fourteenth time ANZ has received such recognition since 2005, after being named as such in 2005-06, 2008, 2010 (equal first), 2011, 2014-21 and 2023.
In addition, ANZ was named the most reliable and dependable bank for funding - the ninth consecutive year the bank has been recognised as such.
Peter Lee also found ANZ was outright leader for ESG and sustainable finance, advice and insights. The bank has secured the market-leading role in the environmental, social and governmental finance space every year since it was included in the survey.

“The results recognise ANZ’s dominant position in the important ESG space,” she said. “That said, it’s a competitive market and we’ll keep working hard to ensure customers get what they need from us as their banking partner.”
