The banking system in New Zealand is a relatively simple one structurally and comprises a central bank–the Reserve Bank of New Zealand–five commercial or trading banks (each with its own private savings bank), trustee savings banks, and the New Zealand Post Office Savings Bank.
This position is by no means peculiar to New Zealand and reflects the tremendous changes in banking and in attitudes towards monetary or credit policies since the early nineteen thirties.
The Post Office Savings Bank, by far the biggest savings bank, was established in 1867, and has since grown into a major financial institution.
