REGISTERED BANKS in NEW ZEALAND Claire Matthews And REGISTERED BANKS IN NEW ZEALAND Claire Matthews and Rex Oliver 23rd June 2009 At the present time there are 18 banks registered in New Zealand. However, the number of registered banks changes from time to time, as new banks are registered and existing banks leave the market or are taken over and therefore deregister. Recent departures have included Superbank (2003-2006), AMP Bank (1998-2004) and BNP Paribas (1997-2001). Registrations peaked at 24 in mid-1990, and there have been fewer than 20 registered banks since early 1998. The international ownership of banks in New Zealand means that international events represent one influence for future changes to the list of registered banks. Existing non-bank financial institutions operating in New Zealand are expected to seek registration, as did SBS in late 2008. In addition, new entrants, most likely to be existing banks from other countries, can also be expected. The 18 banks currently registered are: ANZ National Bank Limited m – ANZ National. 1 April 1987. A wholly owned subsidiary of a large Australian bank that operates widely overseas. ANZ National is New Zealand’s oldest bank, dating back to the arrival of the Union Bank in 1840. In late 2003, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd purchased the National Bank of New Zealand Ltd from Lloyds TSB Group plc and subsequently changed its name to that shown. It now operates in New Zealand using two separate brands – ANZ and The National Bank. ASB Bank Limited r – ASB. 11 May 1989. Formerly the Auckland Savings Bank, it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (see separate entry). Although ASB operates nationally, it has extensive retail operations in Auckland and North Auckland. Since 1992 ASB has undertaken considerable expansion into other areas of New Zealand, and it has moved into commercial banking. This registration also covers its separate internet banking division, BankDirect. It is now seen as one of the five main brands in the retail banking sector. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited wb – ANZ 5 January 2009. This New Zealand branch of the bank was established to simplify internal funding arrangements. The branch operates alongside the bank’s New Zealand subsidiary, ANZ National. The registration includes restrictions on the branch’s activities, and it cannot undertake retail banking or lending in New Zealand. The branch is to be funded by its parent, and will be able to acquire mortgages originated by ANZ National. Bank of New Zealand Limited m – BNZ. 1 April 1987. Established as a privately owned New Zealand bank in 1861, the BNZ became fully government owned in 1945. In 1992 it was sold to National Australia Bank Limited, which is Australia’s largest and most profitable banking group with subsidiaries in England and Scotland. Citibank N A wb – Citibank. 22 July 1987. A New York based bank, and one of the world’s largest, it is interested in wholesale and investment banking in New Zealand Commonwealth Bank of Australia wb – CBA. 23 June 2000. The 100% owner of ASB Bank, this large Australian bank has registered in New Zealand in its own right to serve its institutional clients in this country. Retail and commercial customers continue to be the responsibility of ASB Bank. ASB’s financial results are consolidated into the results for the CBA branch in New Zealand. Deutsche Bank A G wb – Deutsche. 8 November 1996. A very large German bank, it is mainly interested in capital markets operations in New Zealand. JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA wb – JPMorgan Chase 1 October 2007. JPMorgan Chase is a large US based bank, which was formed when JP Morgan was acquired by Chase Manhattan in 2000. The merged bank then acquired Bank One in 2004 to create the current organisation. Prior to registration as a bank in October 2007, JPMorgan Chase operated in New Zealand as a non-bank participant in the wholesale banking market. The bank continues this involvement in investment banking in New Zealand. Kiwibank Limited r – Kiwibank. 29 November 2001. A subsidiary of New Zealand Post, Kiwibank operates from Post Shops throughout the country. It focuses primarily on personal customers, offering a range of financial services, but has recently begun to offer services for small business customers. Effectively government-owned, Kiwibank’s establishment was politically controversial. Initial registration was limited to only allow testing of the bank’s systems and procedures, and full registration was confirmed on 4 February 2002. Kookmin Bank rb – Kookmin. 14 July 1997. One of the largest Korean banks, its main interest is the retail market. Its focus in New Zealand is on the Korean community, mainly in Auckland. Formerly Korean Government owned, it has been privatised, with the Government share reduced to 17%. Rabobank Nederland wb – Rabobank. 1 April 1996. A very large mutual Dutch bank with expertise in agriculture and agribusiness lending. The financial results for Rabobank NZ are consolidated into the results for the Rabobank branch in New Zealand. Rabobank New Zealand Limited r – Rabobank NZ. 7 July 1999. A wholly owned subsidiary of Rabobank Nederland (see separate entry). Formerly Rabo Wrightson Finance Limited. Strongly focussed on the agricultural sector. Southland Building Society r T/A SBS Bank – SBS 7 October 2008. The Southland Building Society was founded in 1869, after the gold rush. It operates in the retail sector of the New Zealand banking market. SBS has its head office in Invercargill and has 15 branches throughout New Zealand, although they are predominately in the South Island. It retains its mutual ownership structure, which means that its customers are also its owners. It has subsidiaries that provide insurance, personal finance, and managed funds products. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Limited wb – Tokyo-Mitsubishi 1 March 2004. A large Japanese bank, with its main interest being in corporate lending. Previously registered as a branch of the Australian subsidiary of the bank on 18 September 1996. The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited mb – HSBC. 22 July 1987. A very large international bank, headquartered in London. Ultimate owners are the public through HSBC Holdings plc. Wholesale banking, international trade, electronic banking services, and some quality retail business are the main interests in New Zealand. TSB Bank Limited r – TSB. 8 June 1989. Formerly a trustee savings bank it operates as a successful retail bank in Taranaki. TSB has increasing numbers of direct banking customers outside the province, and also has a number of non-branch offices in locations around New Zealand. It is one of only two New Zealand owned banks. Westpac Banking Corporation wb – Westpac. 1 April 1987. Australia’s first bank, dating back to 1817. It has some overseas operations but is now focused on its domestic markets in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Having purchased Trust Bank New Zealand in 1996, the New Zealand division traded as WestpacTrust until late 2002, but has now reverted to Westpac. Since November 1st, 2006, Westpac has been responsible for the bank’s wholesale banking business in New Zealand, with the retail business having been separately incorporated as Westpac New Zealand Limited (see separate entry). The financial results for Westpac NZ are consolidated into the results for the Westpac branch in New Zealand. Westpac New Zealand Limited r – Westpac NZ 31 October 2006. After the Reserve Bank of New Zealand introduced a local incorporation policy for systemically important banks, Westpac was required to incorporate at least the retail banking part of its business in New Zealand, which it has now done. ANZ National, BNZ and Westpac may be described as the traditional New Zealand banks, having been operating in New Zealand, originally as trading banks, since the 19th century. They were deemed to be registered on 1 April 1987 (along with The National Bank of New Zealand Ltd), and still have much of New Zealand’s banking business. ANZ National and BNZ can be described as full service banks, offering retail and wholesale banking. Westpac may also be considered a full service bank, although it now has a subsidiary operation (Westpac NZ) which operates in the retail banking market, leaving the New Zealand branch of Westpac to offer wholesale banking services. Credit ratings All registered banks in New Zealand are required to have a credit rating, and it must be disclosed as part of the quarterly disclosure regime. The following table details the credit rating(s) for each bank, and identifies the source of the rating(s). Standard Fitch Moody’s & Poor’s Rabobank Nederland AAA AA+ Aaa Rabobank New Zealand Limited AAA Commonwealth Bank of Australia AA AA Aa1 The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation AA AA Aa1 Westpac Banking Corporation AA AA- Aa1 Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd AA AA- Aa1 ANZ National Bank Limited AA AA- Aa2 Westpac New Zealand Limited AA AA- Aa2 ASB Bank Limited AA Aa2 Bank of New Zealand Limited AA Aa2 JPMorgan Chase Bank N A AA- AA- Aa1 Kiwibank Limited AA- Deutsche Bank A G A+ AA- Aa1 Citibank N A A+ A+ A1 The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd A+ Aa2 Kookmin Bank A A2 TSB Bank Limited BBB+ Southland Building Society BBB Government Guarantee On 12th October 2008, the New Zealand Government announced the introduction of a government guarantee scheme for retail deposits in New Zealand, following similar moves internationally, in response to the international financial situation. This was followed by the announcement of a Wholesale Funding Guarantee Facility on 1st November 2008. Banks and other financial institutions are required to apply and be approved to participate in both guarantee schemes. The following table identifies which of the registered banks are participating in both schemes as at this date, and the date the Crown Deed of Guarantee was signed.

  • Nonprofit and Mutual Firms in the Development of the U.S. Personal Finance Industry
    Organizational Form and Industry Emergence: Nonprofit and Mutual Firms in the Development of the U.S. Personal Finance Industry R. Daniel Wadhwani Eberhardt School of Business University of the Pacific [email protected] This article examines historical variations in the ownership and governance of firms in the U.S. personal finance industry between the early nineteenth century and the Great Depression. It focuses, in particular, on mutual savings banks and their role in the development of the intermediated market for savings accounts. Economic theories of commercial nonprofits and mutuals usually emphasise the advantages of such ownership and governance structures in reducing agency and monitoring costs in markets that suffer from information asymmetries in exchanges between firms and their customers. While I find some evidence to support these theories, I also find that mutual savings banks predominated in the early years of the industry because the form offered entrepreneurial advantages over investor-owned corporations and because in some states they benefitted from regulatory and political advantages that joint-stock savings banks lacked. Their relative decline by the early twentieth century was the result of increasing competition in the market for savings deposits, the loosening of regulatory barriers to entry, and changes in public policy that reduced the transaction, innovation and regulatory advantages that the mutual savings bank form had once held. The article draws out the theoretical implications for our understanding of the historical role of nonprofit and mutual firms. Keywords: nonprofit; trusteeship; mutual; cooperative; savings banks; governance; ownership; organizational form; entrepreneurship; innovation. 1 Introduction In recent years, business historians have devoted increasing attention to understanding variation in the organizational forms of modern enterprise.

The combination of cash payments (and low penetration of cheques) in the Spanish retail sector together with increasing administrative costs, acted as incentives for Spanish savings banks embracing applications of computer technology (and specifically data processing infrastructure) to articulate viable solutions for cost reductions, offer alternative payment systems to cash and facilitate greater diversification of their business portfolio within retail banking.
