The National Bank of New Zealand - NZAMI Business Partner
NZAMI is proud to be associated with The National Bank of New Zealand. Both the NZAMI and National Bank enjoy strong mutual benefits from the partnership.
The National Bank offers specialized migrant banking services through its dedicated New Residents team and a specialist Asian Banking team, staffed by Asian language speakers. These specialist teams understand the needs of new residents and can work with migrants in the language they are most comfortable with.
Of particular advantage for new residents is that the bank can set up and manage new accounts until customers arrive in New Zealand.
The New Residents and Asian Banking team have specialized knowledge of the needs of new migrants and can assist with a range of settlement issues. There is also a substantial on-line support system.
The clients of NZAMI members may attend National Bank business seminars & workshops at no cost. These seminars are an invaluable source of information to new residents on how to set up and manage their businesses in New Zealand.
