About the employer

ANZ, or Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, is one of the major banking groups in the Asia-Pacific region. Founded in Australia, it provides retail, commercial, institutional, and private banking services across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and selected international markets. ANZ supports businesses, governments, and institutional clients with transaction banking, lending, capital markets, risk management, and financial solutions. Its Manila operations provide important shared-services and specialist support for global banking activities, including finance, operations, technology, risk, and customer service. The bank promotes professional development, teamwork, inclusion, and responsible banking practices. Employees working in the Philippines may collaborate regularly with colleagues in Australia, New Zealand, and other international locations, making English communication, cultural awareness, and the ability to work across time zones valuable.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers career opportunities in banking, finance, accounting, shared services, technology, customer operations, and business-process management, particularly in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Clark. Manila and nearby Makati, BGC, and Ortigas have the largest concentration of international employers and financial institutions. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, family-oriented, and community-focused, with English widely used in business. Lifestyle options range from busy urban living to affordable coastal and island communities, although traffic and rainy-season disruptions can affect daily travel. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit; companies commonly assist with documentation, while requirements depend on nationality and contract length. New arrivals should budget for housing, transport, healthcare, and deposits, and verify immigration rules before moving. Local employees do not need visas, but should review benefits, commuting arrangements, and hybrid-work policies.
