澳大利亚和新西兰的本地银行有很多,澳大利亚常见的有澳新银行(ANZ Bank)、联邦银行(Commonwealth Bank)、澳洲国民银行(National Australia Bank)、西太平洋银行(Westpac Bank)。新西兰最常用的有澳新银行(ANZ Bank)、新西兰银行(Bank of New Zealand)、奥克兰储蓄银行(Auckland Saving Bank)、西太平洋银行(Westpac Bank)。
此外,中国银行在澳大利亚的主要城市也开设了银行网点,但普及度还是远远赶不上当地银行的,所以同学们留学生可以需要根据自己的需求及方便性综合考虑选择适合自己的银行。
