What our executives say

At Westpac Institutional Bank (WIB) we provide a range of financial services to businesses in New Zealand operating in the corporate, institutional, government and semi-government markets.

We are strongly committed to our local market and also benefit from our close trans-Tasman and international links through the wider Westpac Institutional Banking group, which operates in Australia, New York, London and Asia.

We measure our success by what our customers tell us about how we are meeting their needs.  And our consistent top rankings in the annual Peter Lee Associates customer surveys, and being voted “INFINZ National Business Review Bank of the Year” for 2008 and 2009, shows us that we are doing well in meeting our customers’ needs.

We aspire to provide innovative solutions in the areas of:

• payments and transaction services;
• all forms of capital raising, including bilateral lending, syndicated loans, project finance, commercial paper and bond issuance, and securitisation;
• corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions,
• foreign exchange, hedging of currencies, interest rates and commodities, and investment in the financial markets, and
• international trade finance.

As part of the Westpac New Zealand group, we have a clear understanding of the challenges and needs of New Zealand businesses, as well as offshore businesses operating in New Zealand.

We look forward to assisting you, whatever your banking needs may be.
