The Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, commonly called ANZ, is an Australian multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It is the second largest bank by assets and third largest bank by market capitalisation in Australia.[2]

ANZ was established on 1 October 1951, when the Bank of Australasia merged with the Union Bank of Australia Limited.[3] It is one of the big four Australian banks, with the Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Westpac.

Australian operations make up the largest part of ANZ's business, with commercial and retail banking dominating. ANZ is also the largest bank in New Zealand, where the legal entity became known as ANZ National Bank Limited in 2003 and changed to ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited in 2012. From 2003 to 2012, it operated two brands in New Zealand, ANZ and the National Bank of New Zealand. The National Bank brand was retired in 2012, with a number of branches closing and others converting to ANZ branches.[4] In addition to operations throughout Australia and New Zealand, ANZ also operates in 34 other countries.[5]

ANZ together with its subsidiaries has a workforce of 51,000 employees and serves around nine million customers worldwide. In Australia, the bank serves around six million customers at over 570 branches.[6]

In 1993, ANZ established new headquarters in Melbourne, Australia.[20] They also opened new branches in Hanoi, Vietnam,[21] and Shanghai, China,[22] and began a joint venture with PT Panin Bank in Indonesia.[23] That year they also began operating in Tonga[19] and sold their Canadian operations acquired via the purchase of Grindlays Bank in 1984 to HSBC Bank Canada.

Throughout the late 1990s, ANZ opened new branches in several locations, including Manila, Philippines,[24] and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[25] In 1997, John McFarlane was appointed Chief Executive Officer[26] and the bank opened its Beijing branch.[27] In 1999, ANZ formed a strategic alliance with E*Trade Australia for online share trading[28] and purchased Amerika Samoa Bank.[29]

21st century[]

In 2000, ANZ sold its Grindlays businesses in the Middle East and South Asia, and associated Grindlays Private Banking business to Standard Chartered.[30] In 2001, ANZ opened branches in Timor Leste[31] and began offering credit card services in Hong Kong.[32] In 2002, ANZ formed a joint venture with ING Group for wealth management and life insurance business in Australia and New Zealand.[33] The next year, ANZ acquired the National Bank of New Zealand.[34]

In 2005, ANZ established the ANZ Royal Bank in Cambodia, a joint venture with the Cambodian-based Royal Group company.[35][36] In 2006, ANZ announced a new world headquarters in the Melbourne Docklands[37] and invested in the Bank of Tianjin, China.[38] In 2007, ANZ acquired E*Trade Australia and Citizen Securities Bank in Guam.[39][40] Also in 2007, Mike Smith, formerly of HSBC, became CEO after the retirement of John McFarlane in October[41] and the company took over the naming rights sponsorship for Sydney's Stadium Australia.[42]

In August 2009, ANZ purchased the Royal Bank of Scotland's (RBS) operations in six Asian countries for $550 million.[43] In September the company announced it would buy out ING Group's 51% stake of the joint venture, giving ANZ 100% control of ING Australia.[43] In November, ANZ opened their new headquarters in Melbourne.[citation needed]

In 2018, the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry heard that ANZ had failed to accurately verify the living expenses of home loan customers referred to the bank by mortgage brokers, believing that this was the responsibility of the brokers, in spite of a conflict of interest in doing so;[54]:465–469[55] and that, due to processing issues, it had charged nearly 500,000 home loan customers the incorrect interest rate for more than ten years, leading the bank to overcharge customers by approximately $90 million.[56][57][58]:662[59]:707

Asia-Pacific[]

ANZ is one of the leading Australian banks in the Asia-Pacific region. It has been aggressive in its expansion into the emerging markets of China, Vietnam and Indonesia. ANZ is also a leading bank in New Zealand as well as several Pacific Island Nations where it competes in many markets with fellow Australian bank Westpac. ANZ's arm in New Zealand is operated through a subsidiary company, ANZ National Bank, from 2003 to 2012, when it changed by ANZ Bank New Zealand upon merging the ANZ and National Bank brands.

In March 2005, it formed a strategic alliance with Vietnam's Sacombank involving an acquisition of 10% of Sacombank's share capital. As part of the strategic alliance, ANZ will provide technical assistance in the areas of risk management and retail and small business banking.

ANZ has followed a similar strategy in China, where it acquired a 20% share in Tianjin City Commercial Bank in July 2006. It also negotiated a similar deal with Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank.

In August 2009, ANZ purchased RBS's retail units in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong, as well as RBS'si banking businesses in Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam. It was purchased for the price of A$687 million.

As of September 2012, the company had a total of 1,337 branches worldwide.[60]

In 2016, ANZ adopted less aggressive approach to expansion in the Asia-Pacific region after low returns.[61][62][63] At the end of October 2016 ANZ announced the sale of its Asian retail and wealth management operations to the Development Bank of Singapore; ANZ also signalled a withdrawal from its "Asian pivot".[64]

In 2020, as tensions between the US and China escalated, CEO Shayne Elliot acknowledged that the conflict had “raised the risk profile” of the bank's China investments, and said that the bank could further pull back from the country.[65]

Advertising and sponsorships[]

ANZ formerly held naming rights to Stadium Australia where it was known as ANZ Stadium

In 2005, an advertisement included two famous robots: Lost in Space robot, and a Dalek from Doctor Who, although the Dalek was replaced in subsequent versions of the ad. In 2006, the company started a TV campaign with a series of ads featuring their new mascot – the Falcon, a bird trained to stop credit card thieves, illustrating the company's measures in prevention of credit card fraud. In 2010, ANZ ran an ad campaign parodying common banking scenarios with a fictional character known as 'Barbara who lives in Bank World', a middle-aged, rude, sarcastic and unhelpful bank manager. The adverts have received acclaim for wit and humour, but also criticism for stereotyping bank managers. Barbara is portrayed by Australian comedian Genevieve Morris.[66] In 2010, ANZ spent $195m in Australia on advertising.[67]

In 2011, a series of ads were fronted by Simon Baker, the star of the American television show The Mentalist. According to a 2014 top 20 list of advertising spends, ANZ was in the top 20.[68]

In 2015, ANZ held a campaign in sync with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.[69] In 2016, New Zealand ANZ had the highest spend of any bank.[67] One third of ANZ's spend on media is said to be digital.[70]

Global headquarters[]

ANZ's head office at 833 Collins Street, in Melbourne's Docklands, was completed in 2009

In September 2006, plans were unveiled for ANZ's world headquarters to be located in Melbourne's Docklands precinct. The complex features a vast low rise office building, shops, car and bicycle parking facilities. The complex enables 6,500 ANZ staff to work in one integrated area. The building, located at 833 Collins Street, is the largest office complex in Australia at 84,500 square metres (910,000 sq ft) net lettable area, with 130,000 square metres (1,400,000 sq ft) gross floor area, and an accredited Six-Green Star Building. Construction commenced in late 2006 and the building opened in late 2009. Designed by HASSELL and Lend Lease Design, the building faces the Yarra River.[citation needed] In 2006, it was expected that it would cost A$478 million to build the new headquarters,[71] however costed A$750 million by the time it was complete in 2009.[72] The building was one of the winners at the 2010 World Architecture Festival in the category "Interiors and Fit Out of the Year".[73]

In 2016 ANZ announced that it would sell its former Melbourne global headquarters, located at the junction of 100 Queen Street, and 380 Collins Street, Melbourne, called and more commonly known as the Gothic Bank.[74] The former bank building was purpose built as the head office of the English, Scottish & Australian Bank (a predecessor of the current ANZ Banking Group).[74] The building was acquired in December 2016 by The GPT Group for A$275.4 million.[75]

Controversies[]

Manipulation of benchmark interest rates and other key metrics[]

In 2016, ANZ and 10 of its traders were named as being the subject of legal proceedings for manipulation of the benchmark inter-bank interest rates in Australia; specifically ASIC has made claims of unconscionable conduct and manipulation against ANZ.[76][77][78] ANZ has attempted to deny the claims and says it will defend the claim in court.[79] Formal filings of the originating process in this regards were made against ANZ on 4 March 2016.[80] Since that time ASIC has compounded their claim against the ANZ.[81] In a separate court appearance in November 2016 ANZ admitted to 10 instances of attempted cartel conduct regarding alleged manipulation of the Malaysian ringgit.[82] The wider market rigging case has been reported as likely lasting into 2018.[83]

Agriculture and child labour[]

ANZ has been the subject of claims that it has backed agriculture and timber companies that engage in so called 'land grabs'.[84][85] In 2014, ANZ faced allegations that it funded a Cambodian sugar plantation that has involved child labour, military-backed land grabs, forced evictions and food shortages.[86][87]

Litigious approach[]

ANZ has also been criticised in the Senate for its allegedly "hard boiled" approach to farmers exposed to the fallout from ANZ's purchase of the Landmark loan book.[88][89] One submission to the Senate inquiry into bank conduct mentioned one farmer self-immolating after alleged defaults occurring.[90] Another former customer in the Senate inquiry was mentioned as being subjected to victimisation by receivers and police, including use of SWAT teams and being held at gun-point.[90] In 2016 it was reported that ANZ was accused of racism in a high-profile court case involving the businessman Pankaj Oswal and his wife;[91] specifically it was reported that an email contained comments stating that, ""We are dealing with Indians with no moral compass and an Indian woman [the wife of Mr. Oswal], as every bit as devious as PO (Pankaj Oswal),” and "This has been a very Indian characteristic transaction."[91][92] The ANZ agreed to a settlement for an undisclosed amount in respect of the legal claim made by the Oswals.[93]

Culture[]

ANZ CEO Shayne Elliott admitted in 2016 that "culture" will be one of the biggest challenges for ANZ.[94] Media reports have included allegations of sexism, drug use and bravado culture.[95] In 2016, ANZ was pursued in court over its suggesting on social media that criticism of the bank's chief financial officer might have been sexist, which resulted in the broker at Bell Potter losing his job.[96][97] Former ANZ director John Dahlsen in 2016 admitted that there are issues with bank culture and competition.[98] In November 2016, there were further claims of sexist conduct and a separate lawsuit was filed against ANZ in the United States regarding staff at its New York office.[99][100]

Malaysian scandal[]

In early 2016, ANZ was also mentioned in a scandal in Malaysia involving one of ANZ's subsidiaries and the Malaysian leader.[101] The incident has raised questions for ANZ.[102] ANZ admitted in November 2016 that it had little ability to control its affiliate.[103]

Misleading file notes presented to Victorian Supreme Court[]

In 2016, there was an incident reported involving the Financial Ombudsman Service (Australia), where the Financial Ombudsman Service presented misleading file notes to the Supreme Court of Victoria, in the discovery phase of a case involving ANZ, to the benefit of ANZ's case.[104][105][106] The ANZ has not commented on the scandal as yet.

Out-sourcing of jobs[]

ANZ has continued to out-source jobs in countries other than Australia and this has caused some controversy with some outlets.[107] ANZ have been progressively increasing work output from offshore offices. ANZ's Bangalore office has been operational since 1989, making it one of the first organisations to employ IT staff based in India. ANZ employs around 4,800 staff in Bangalore, India.[108] 1500 IT positions, 2000 positions in Payments and Institutional Operations and International and High Value Services and 1300 positions in Operations Personal Banking have been shifted from Melbourne to India. In 2006, ANZ predicted that by 2010, over 2000 jobs would have been shifted from Australia to Bangalore.[109] In 2012, ANZ transferred 360 permanent staff from Melbourne and Bangalore to Capgemini. All these staff worked in the Technology Testing and Environment Space.[citation needed] As ANZ CIO Anne announced earlier that ANZ want a Hybrid model of technology in order to achieve the 2017 Technology roadmap.

Anti-competitive conduct[]

Despite the ANZ taking advantage of block-chain technology[110] the ANZ had blocked businesses making use of bitcoin. The ANZ and others were investigated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and cleared of colluding with other banks on the issue of bitcoin based business.[111]

Discrimination[]

In September 2020 ANZ was accused of discrimination by Australian digital currency exchanger Allan Flynn in the ACT Discrimination Tribunal. The lawsuit is the first human rights action brought by a Bitcoin trader against a bank alleging discrimination, due to the unique law in the ACT protecting against discrimination on the basis of a persons "profession, occupation trade or calling."[112] The sole trader alleges ANZ denied him services on the basis of his occupation as a digital currency exchange and further harmed him by closing his brother's bank account and contacting another bank about his trading, causing that financial institution to debank him also.

Panama Papers[]

ANZ was reported as appearing in 7,548 of the Mossack Fonseca documents in the Panama Papers, reflecting the bank's extensive work in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Samoa and Jersey.[113]

Criminal cartel charges[]

On 1 June 2018, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced that criminal cartel charges are expected to be laid by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (CDPP) against ANZ Bank, its Group Treasurer Rick Moscati, along with Deutsche Bank, Citigroup and a number of individuals.[114][115] The charges concern a $2.5 billion ANZ capital raising that took place in August 2015.[116] In July 2020 committal proceedings were completed in the case,[117] which may last into 2022.[116]

Hayne Royal Commission[]

The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry, also known as the Hayne Royal Commission, was a Royal Commission established on 14 December 2017 by the Australian Government to inquire into and report on misconduct in the banking, superannuation, and financial services industry. The establishment of the commission followed revelations in the media of a culture of greed within several Australian financial institutions.[118] A subsequent parliamentary inquiry recommended a royal commission, noting the lack of regulatory intervention by the relevant government authorities,[119] and later revelations that financial institutions were involved in money laundering for drug syndicates, turned a blind eye to terrorism financing, and ignored statutory reporting responsibilities[120] and impropriety in foreign exchange trading.[121]

ANZ was also implicated in the bank bill swap rate scandal[122] and settled with ASIC prior to the commencement of legal proceedings.[123]

Defamation case[]

In July 2020 Bogac Ozdemir, a former employee of ANZ, filed a civil action against the bank at a New York court. Ozdemir claims that statements made by the bank about him were defamatory, and is seeking damages of US$20 million.[124]
