One can't be achieved without the other.At ASB, we help New Zealanders every day get one step ahead financially (financial progress). We step up when it counts and make a difference in our communities (social progress). We care for our planet and empower a sustainable future (environmental progress).

Our people
People are at the heart of everything we do at ASB. From our values and unique culture, to our commitment and support of the communities we live and work in. We believe this is what sets us apart and is just one of the reasons over 1.3 million personal, business and rural customers choose to bank with us.
Our history
In 1847, at 7pm on Saturday 5 June the Auckland Savings Bank, New Zealand's first savings bank, opened on Queen Street. ASB pledged to serve the community, to grow, and to help Kiwis grow. Since then, we have been committed to bringing New Zealanders the best banking products and services possible. Over the years, we've continued to rethink the way people bank and how they interact with their money, and used these insights to develop innovative solutions that meet our customers' needs.
