We've been delivering great professional banking services in New Zealand for over 140 years. Now, through BNZ Partners we're lifting the game even further by delivering a new kind of relationship banking service for Business, Agribusiness and Private Banking clients.

An even smarter kind of service BNZ Partners delivers you a more personalised and customised relationship. Your dedicated BNZ Partner works directly with you to really understand you and your business, be it:

Business Agribusiness Private Bank

 

But crucially, he or she can connect you to an extended range of financial specialists, products and services including:

Property Merchant and Payment services Insurance Investments Cashflow Finance Franchising Asset Finance International Trade Finance

 

This approach will have real impact on what we can do for you and how quickly we can do it.

Local teams who know your business
We've set up regional BNZ Partner teams across New Zealand, each with a high degree of autonomy. This means we can help you make decisions for your business with a truly on the ground understanding of the environment you operate in.

Your local BNZ Partner
If you're an existing BNZ business, agribusiness or private bank client your BNZ Manager or Private Banker is still the same person - but they're now called a BNZ Partner. So you'll continue to receive the same personalised service and you still contact him or her for any of your banking needs. If you're new to BNZ we'll introduce you to a dedicated BNZ Partner who can offer the specific Business, Agribusiness or Private Banking expertise you require.

Better off with BNZ Partners
Put simply, through BNZ Partners we're offering you something no other bank is. Highly personalised, local service from a dedicated banking expert who has the specific skills you need. And this BNZ Partner can quickly source you specialist expertise across a broad spectrum of business and financial services. This new relationship service means we can help you and your business be even better off.

Are you boosting your franchisees' performance?

Franchisee Selection:  

Are you managing this number one role successfully?

Meetings:                     

Do you use these to build franchisee - franchisor relationships?

Franchisor support:     

Have you measured this against best practice?

Advisory Councils:      

Is your FAC set up to enhance communication and drive value?
