On 31 July 2024, ANZ completed the acquisition of Suncorp Bank, onboarding around 3,000 employees, about 1.2 million customers and $54.6 billion of deposits the very next day. “Today marks exactly 100 days since the acquisition, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the progress.”When we made our bid to buy Suncorp Bank over two years ago, the transaction made a lot of sense.
