ASB to open new North Shore branch
ASB’s branch network expansion and refurbishment programme has reached another milestone, with plans to open a branch on Constellation Drive on Auckland’s North Shore.
Branch Manager Kate Gibney says the decision to open a new branch to provide further services to the North Shore community is in response to continued local business growth and an influx of people working in the area.
“Customer demand was behind our decision to open this new branch on Constellation Drive, which is one of the busiest intersections on Auckland’s North Shore,” she says.
“In August 2010 we announced a $100 million investment that would see construction of 25 new branches and refurbishment of a further 117 over the next five years. This very significant investment programme shows ASB’s confidence in both our future and the future of New Zealand.”
The new branch, next to Farro at 65A Constellation Drive, will expand and extend on many of the design philosophies and features already seen in ASB’s branches.
It will offer the very latest in banking technology including:
- FastNet banking in-branch for ASB customers to use.
- FastChange - A convenient change machine so that customers can get change for their businesses when it suits them, not just during bank hours.
- FastDeposit - a quick and convenient way to deposit money.
- The latest ASB ATMs.
- FastCount - a coin sorting machine located in the branch. No need for customers to sort or bag coins before they come into the branch - our FastCount machine will do this for them.
- Video conference phones for customers to access a wide range of ASB specialists face to face.
- A drive through banking facility.
“We are also looking after the social needs of our customers with couches and coffee facilities in-branch. As with our other new ASB branches, there will also be a dedicated noticeboard for our community customers to advertise their upcoming local events,” adds Miss Gibney.
“Our team is looking forward to greeting and assisting ASB customers at this new branch on the North Shore. Many of our customers choose to come into a branch for face-to-face conversations with us about their banking needs so it’s important for ASB to have a strong presence on the North Shore. We invite ASB customers and North Shore residents and visitors along to our new branch on opening day,” Miss Gibney says.
The new branch is due to open on Monday, 25 July, with a community fun day to be held at the branch on Saturday, 23 July.
