ANZ Private has been named New Zealand’s best Private Bank for the eighth time at the PWM/The Banker Global Private Banking Awards.
"This award recognises our expertise, tailored approach to wealth management, world-class customer service and commitment to helping our clients grow and protect their wealth," says Glenn Stevenson, General Manager, ANZ Private.
The Global Private Banking Awards recognise excellence across the private banking and wealth management industry. They’re presented by Professional Wealth Management (PWM), part of the Financial Times Group, with submissions assessed by industry experts and supported by quantitative analysis.
“This recognition reflects our focus on helping clients achieve their financial goals through personalised banking, lending, investment and wealth management solutions, while continuing to evolve the protection we provide against scams and fraud.”
ANZ Private offers a fully integrated private banking service, bringing together everyday banking, lending and investment expertise, supported by ANZ’s own Investment Management team.
“We offer a range of services and resources tailored to clients’ individual needs and goals. Whether they’re building wealth through their career or business, moving to New Zealand, or managing a significant increase in wealth, we have the expertise to help.
“We spend time understanding our clients’ goals and values before drawing on our extensive network to curate opportunities to meet their needs. This can include introductions to venture capital, private equity, private credit and philanthropic opportunities, alongside access to a range of external specialists who can provide advice on areas such as trust structures, estate planning, taxation and broader wealth management matters.
“Many of our clients have complex needs and unique ambitions. Wherever they are on their wealth journey, we work to understand their goals and values so we can connect them to the right opportunities.
“We know relationships are highly valued by our clients, and in times of uncertainty they are more important than ever.”
Over the past year ANZ Private hosted invitation-only events in partnership with Icehouse Ventures, introducing clients to New Zealand businesses and private investment opportunities.
ANZ Private also partnered with community organisations such as Auckland Foundation to support structured giving for clients.
“Winning the Best Private Bank in New Zealand title for an eighth time means a great deal for our team. The challenge was to show that we’ve continued to develop and improve an already outstanding service. Our success is recognition of the commitment of the entire ANZ Private team to constantly enhance our offering.”
This is the 18th year the awards have been held, with more than 200 private banks across the world having taken part at least once.
