We are focused on accelerating progress for all New Zealanders and, by investing in this partnership with CMC, we will develop our offering even further for ASB customers looking to buy or sell shares.
We look forward to providing our customers with a world class mobile experience and digital international markets access. We will keep our customers and other stakeholders informed as we work through the developments.”
