ANZ Prepares to Finalize $4.9B Suncorp Acquisition

The information on this website is general in nature and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs. Consider seeking personal advice from a licensed adviser before acting on any information.

ANZ is poised to officially acquire Suncorp's banking sector on August 1, following recent modifications to Queensland's legislative framework essential for the $4.9 billion transaction.

This recent legislative amendment, formally known as the State Financial Institutions and Metway Merger Amendment Bill, was the last remaining obstacle. With this adjustment in state law, Suncorp’s banking division is now set to transition seamlessly into ANZ’s portfolio.

ANZ representatives stated that the legislative approval signals the final preparation phase for the acquisition, initially declared back in July 2022. Following this regulatory milestone, ANZ will integrate approximately 3000 employees and welcome 1.2 million new customers into their banking operations on August 1, 2024.

The deal, which was first unveiled almost two years ago, hinged upon critical endorsements from several authorities. These included the Treasurer's approval, receiving the green light from competition regulators, and necessitating specific legislative adjustments in Queensland. Now, with all boxes ticked, ANZ is prepared to absorb Suncorp's banking clientele and workforce.
