AMP (formerly Australian Mutual Provident Society) is an Australian financial services company that operates in Australia and New Zealand providing superannuation and investment products, financial advice, and banking products through AMP Banking that includes home loans and savings accounts. Its is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. In addition it operates a global investment management business through its subsidiary AMP Capital.

AMP has one of Australia's largest shareholder registers, with most shareholders living in Australia and New Zealand. This is because when the society demutualised, all policy holders received shares in the new company.

On 20 April 2018, Craig Meller resigned as CEO after it was revealed in the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry that AMP charged clients for financial advice which was not provided, and misled the Australian Securities & Investments Commission on numerous occasions.[4][5] At that time more than $1 billion in market value was stripped from AMP shares as news of the company's failings were revealed before the Royal Commission.[6] In the wake of revelations at the banking royal commission and his resignation from AMP, Meller resigned as a financial services adviser to the Turnbull government.[7]
