ANZ managing director institutional Australia & PNG Tammy Medard (pictured) said through the pandemic, ANZ customers needed to know that their bank was there for them.
“We were able to give them certainty in a time of significant uncertainty and this year's results tell us that they value us most for that capability,” Medard said.
“It’s particularly pleasing to once again be recognised as a market leader in the increasingly important areas of ESG and sustainable finance.
“ESG is a megatrend in banking and we’re encouraged to see our clients say they value our analysis, advisory and solutions in this space. That said, it’s a competitive market and we are always striving to improve.”
ANZ’s other highlights from the survey include being recognised as No.1 in lead bank penetration since 2016, as well as No.1 rankings for most dependable and reliable for funding since 2016, market leader in ESG/sustainable finance since inception in 2021 and leading domestic transactional banking since 2016 and offshore transaction banking since 2015 (against four domestic majors).
