Westpac, ASB, BNZ are all overseas owned. In Christchurch, as you know, we have just seen Ansvar the insurance company go broke in NZ. It is still solvent overseas, but is not fully paying their claims in NZ. Plus have closed down now in NZ. So he would prefer a New Zealand owned bank. But not go to Rangiora to deposit cash!
I used to buy meat at Cross Bros, then the young chap, James, took it to Spotlight. His wife then told him to move from Christchurch due to quakes. She wasnt staying. So he went. Pack and Save is now it.
