Māori Business

ABC Bank was established with one simple goal: to serve its community by growing and helping our people grow with us. We’ve certainly grown over the years and our dedication to that goal is unchanged. Mahi tahi is our commitment for long-term partnerships with Maori. It’s about a shared vision for Maori economic success, social prosperity, environmental sustainability, and cultural vitality.

Our Community
Community has always been important to us, and we dedicate much time and effort to working in partnership with Maori communities. We respect and acknowledge the importance of tradition, and so we have developed relationships with communities through our support of events like these:

• ABC Bank Polyfest - we’ve sponsored this event since it began because we think it’s important to celebrate who we are in Aotearoa - a diverse and multicultural society. 
• ABC Bank Ra Whakangahau Kapa Haka – an annual kapa haka event that supports rangatahi through the creativity and discipline of Maori performing arts in our school system. 
• Te Matatini – a fantastic four-day event where iwi and rohe challenge each other to find the national kapa haka champions.

We’re also committed to supporting educational and professional groups who advocate for Maori, such as Te Akatea Maori Principals Association - an extensive support network for Maori principals and Maori in senior management positions across both primary and secondary education sectors.

We learn and grow through these relationships. We look forward to learning and growing along with you as together we mahi tahi towards achieving your aspirations.
