Category:National Bank of New Zealand

English: The National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ), often referred to as The National Bank, was one of New Zealand's largest banks. Throughout much of its history, the National Bank has provided banking services to mainly major industrial and rural as well as some personal and small business customers. UK based Lloyds Bank became the sole owner of the bank in 1966 and National Bank adopted the Lloyds bank black horse as its logo. Lloyds sold the bank to Australian ANZ Bank in 2003, at which time it became part of ANZ National Bank Limited, the New Zealand subsidiary of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group. In 2012 ANZ announced that they would be merging the National Bank brand into their ANZ brand, thus ending the National Bank's existence after 140 years.
