New Zealand Bankers’ Association boosted by two new affiliate members
The New Zealand Bankers’ Association today announced that Chapman Tripp and Visa New Zealand have joined the Association
as its latest affiliate members.
“We are pleased both Chapman Tripp and Visa have decided to formalise their relationship with the Association and are
delighted to welcome them as affiliate members,” said New Zealand Bankers’ Association Chief Executive Kirk Hope.
Chapman Tripp Managing Partner Mark Reese said, “Chapman Tripp has a long-standing commitment to New Zealand’s banking
industry and we are proud to be an affiliate member of the New Zealand Bankers’ Association. We look forward to working
closely with NZBA and its other members to support New Zealand’s strong and stable banking system.”
Visa New Zealand and South Pacific Country Manager Caroline Ada said, “We are delighted to join NZBA as an affiliate
member. Visa’s focus in New Zealand is on advancing digital payments to provide consumers with greater ease and
convenience at the checkout, both in-store and online. Our ability to deliver on that means we must work across the
industry, and strategic partnerships with organisations like NZBA are essential to that vision.”
In March NZBA introduced an affiliate membership category to allow the Association to formalise relationships it has
with a range of complementary organisations involved with the New Zealand banking industry.
Established in 1891, the New Zealand Bankers’ Association is the voice of the banking industry. The Association now has
15 member banks and five affiliate members.
