A wave of excitement swept across ANZ Bank Samoa this week, as they welcomed the Chief Executive Officer of ANZ, Mike Smith.
He was accompanied by ANZ C.E.O Pacific, Vishnu Mohan and ANZ Chief of Staff, Jo Mikleus on their 2014 Pacific Tour.

While in Samoa, Mr. Smith took the time to meet with Prime Minister, Tuilaepa Sa’ilele Mailielegaoi, who attended a special meeting with all the ANZ staff.
Mr. Smith also spoke with the ANZ Samoa leadership team and attended a customer cocktail function at Sinalei Reef Resort and Spa, where customers had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Smith and his wife, Maria, and learn of their personal and professional experiences.

Mr. Smith was very pleased to hear about the success of ANZ Samoa, with 47 percent of the total market share and the leading bank in Samoa.
He was equally pleased to hear of the achievements of ANZ goMoney, since its launch in June 2013. And how just last month ANZ goMoney’s Pacific transactions reached a staggering 1 million.
“Our investment in rolling out ANZ goMoney in Samoa has also helped to improve the lives of rural people and promote access to banking services,” said Mr. Smith.
ANZ Regional C.E.O, Mathew Fisher welcomed Mr. Smith.
“It is a great honor having Mike Smith visit us here in Samoa, growing the Pacific business is part of ANZ’s strategy to build a super regional bank,” he said.
“The consistent flow of ANZ senior leaders to Samoa further demonstrates ANZ’s commitment to Samoa that no other Bank can match.”
“There is no doubt in my mind that the connectivity within this region is going to drive global growth in the years to come. For Samoa this means providing great local service as well as unique connectivity for our customers across the region.”
ANZ is the oldest, largest and strongest bank in Samoa, present since 1959, and has been in the Pacific region for more than 130 years.
