About the employer

Its services include everyday banking, lending, transaction banking, institutional banking, trade finance, markets, and wealth-related solutions. ANZ’s Manila operations support global businesses through functions such as client servicing, operations, technology, risk, finance, and processing.

Compensation varies according to experience, language skills, shift requirements, and the specific business unit.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers job opportunities in banking, shared services, technology, healthcare, education, tourism, and business-process outsourcing, with Manila, Cebu, and Davao as major employment centres. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented, English-speaking, and influenced by Malay, Spanish, American, and Asian traditions. Life can be affordable compared with Australia or Singapore, although rent and commuting costs are higher in central Manila. The country offers beaches, mountains, diving, island travel, and lively food and festival scenes. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa, commonly a 9(g) work visa; requirements and processing times should be confirmed with the employer and Philippine authorities. Relocating to Manila usually involves arranging housing, health insurance, banking, transport, and local registration. The tropical climate is warm and humid, with a rainy season and occasional typhoons, so practical planning is important.
