ASB Bank Limited, commonly stylised as ASB, is a bank owned by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, operating in New Zealand. It provides a range of financial services including retail, business and rural banking, funds management, as well as insurance through its Sovereign Limited subsidiary, and investment and securities services through its ASB Group Investments and ASB Securities divisions. ASB also operated BankDirect, a branchless banking service that provided service via phone, online, EFTPOS and ATMs only. [4]
ASB Bank will close its internet and phone banking offshoot BankDirect and migrate its customers – who now number fewer than 10,000 – to ASB proper.
