Westpac NZ Chief becomes NZBA chair
(10 April 2013 – New Zealand) Westpac New Zealand Chief Executive Peter Clare was elected chair of the New Zealand Bankers’ Association (NZBA) this month.
ASB Bank Chief Executive Barbara Chapman was elected deputy chair.
"I look forward to working with colleagues from across the industry," said Clare.
"We have a strong and stable banking sector which invests in New Zealand and supports the needs of households and businesses. That’s particularly apparent when we look at the experience of other countries at the moment."
Westpac takes over the chair bank role from ANZ.
NZBA Chief Executive Kirk Hope said, "I would like to acknowledge David Hisco’s contribution as chair over the last year, and welcome Peter Clare to the role."
Association membership is open to any bank registered under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989. Currently the association has 14 members.
The association’s governing body is its council, comprising the Chief Executive of each member bank.
