How to Buy Crypto with BNZ Bank

As mentioned above, just like most banks, BNZ Bank doesn’t offer cryptocurrency trading directly, as setting up a cryptocurrency trading platform is quite complex and comes with regulations and extra requirements for the banks.

Luckily for us, there are plenty of cryptocurrency exchanges to choose from that you can use to buy bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency you might want.

Once signed up to an exchange (we’ll be using eToro for our example as it’s a widely trusted and global exchange), you can simply transfer funds from your bank account to the exchange, and trade it for crypto.

About BNZ Bank

Bank of New Zealand (BNZ), one of New Zealand’s four largest banks, has been in operation in New Zealand since October 1861 when the first office opened in Auckland. The first branch was then opened in Dunedin in December 18.61. It offers a range of financial services that include retail, business, and institutional banking. The bank employs more than 5,000 people in New Zealand. The National Australia Bank purchased the bank in 1992. It has been operated as a subsidiary since then, but retains local governance through a New Zealand board.

The government, along with others, brought capital into New Zealand in the 1860s-1870s. The economy was booming, there were many jobs and the development process was rapid. This helped to drive up property values. The 1880s saw a drop in staple products, the rabbit pest reduced wool production and the government reduced public works expenditures by 75%. Many landowners and businessmen lost half of their former value, making it impossible for them to realize the true value of their land. The working class was unable to buy goods or pay back its debts. There was no frozen meat or dairy industry.

Bank of New Zealand offers a variety of services for retail customers. These include savings and investments as well as home loans, credit cards and personal loans. Insurance and international migrant banking are also available. Customers can bank via telephone banking, internet banking, or in one of the 180 branches located throughout New Zealand.

Bank of New Zealand's business banking has been renamed BNZ Partners. It offers a wide range of banking services to small, medium and large companies. Transactional bank accounts, loans, finance, card, payment, insurance, and international banking services are all available to businesses that deal with foreign exchange, exports, and imports. The Bank of New Zealand's Business Banking Division provides specialist knowledge to banking staff in various industries, including Agribusiness, Medical and Professional, Property, Franchising, Iwi, Franchising, and Not-for Profit.

The institutional banking division of Bank of New Zealand provides wholesale banking services to large corporations, financial institutions, and government entities. These services are available in a variety of industries, including manufacturing and retailing, energy; utilities; telecommunications infrastructure; property; local governments; health; education. BNZ was named lead arranger of the $600 million syndicated loan facility for Auckland Council. BNZ was awarded the contract in June 2010 to provide Auckland Council with over-the-counter and transactional services.

Bank of New Zealand's main management and administration offices are located in Wellington, Auckland, and the bank also operates a national network of 180 retail shops and business centers (known as Partner Centres).

Bank of New Zealand was the first bank to go carbon neutral in New Zealand. After a three-year effort to reduce emissions, Bank of New Zealand announced the achievement in September 2010. This was after encouraging employees to change their behaviour at work and home. It also purchased quality carbon credits that offset unavoidable emissions. The company's administration and management staff were housed in three new, efficient buildings. This was the most prominent aspect of the initiative. Two of these buildings are located in Auckland CBD at Quay park and one at 80 Queen Street. The Harbour Quays complex is located on the Wellington waterfront. After it received three Five Green Stars awards, the Deloitte Centre on 80 Queen Street was named "the greenest building in New Zealand". In 2008, the BNZ Quay Park building received a BeST Design Award for Offices and Workplace Environments.
