Mō te Tūranga – About the role

As a Banking Adviser, you’re the friendly face people look forward to seeing — the person who can turn a routine banking errand into a genuinely great experience. You’ll create those memorable “wow” moments every day, whether you’re helping someone open their very first account, guiding a small business owner through their next big move, or uncovering the unspoken needs that help customers feel more confident and in control of their money. You’ll bring curiosity, warmth, and sharp listening skills to every conversation, matching customers with the right products, tools, and advice to make their financial lives easier and more empowering.

You’ll thrive here if you love people, love a challenge, and love being part of a community. In this role, you’ll champion digital banking, deepen relationships with existing customers, welcome new ones into the Westpac whānau, and help us grow our presence in the neighbourhood. From everyday banking to KiwiSaver, insurance, and beyond, you’ll be the steady, trusted guide who makes customers feel supported at every step — all while contributing to our mission to be truly customer‑obsessed. If you’re energised by meaningful conversations, fast‑paced days, and the chance to make a real difference, this is where you’ll shine.

• Confident, engaging communication and the ability to build trust quickly
• Proven problem‑solving skills and a knack for uncovering customer needs
