About NZBA

Established in 1891, the New Zealand Bankers' Association is the industry's voice and promotes policy outcomes which contribute to a safe and successful banking system that benefits New Zealanders and the New Zealand economy.

The Association provides a forum for member banks to work together on non-competitive industry issues.

It is a non-profit unincorporated Association funded by member banks through subscriptions. Membership of the Association is open to any bank registered under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989. Currently thirteen registered banks are members of the Association.

The governing body of the Association is the Council, comprising the Chief Executive of each member bank.

Member banks work with a small professional and administrative team in Wellington to undertake the Association's work.
