BNZ has announced all its branches will be open at least five days a week from next April

It says customer demand is growing for face-to-face interactions, as the country returns to post-pandemic normality.

BNZ, ANZ, ASB, Kiwibank, and Westpac announced last week they'll keep all existing regional branches open for at least the next three years.

That doesn't cover branches in the six largest cities, and already closed branches.
