ANZ Bank For The Solomons
The Australia and New Zealand Bank is to establish itself in the British Solomon Islands with full savings and trading bank facilities. The BSIP for many years has been served by the Commonwealth Bank, and the ANZ Bank is the first to compete for business there.
The bank’s chief administra tive officer, Mr. J. F. Hemphill, announced in Honiara at the end of April that a branch would open in Honiara in three to four months in temporary premises initially. A manager would arrive soon to organise establishment of the new branch.
Earlier in the year there were reports current in Honiara that a Hong Kong bank would establish itself in the BSIP, but there was no substance in these.
