It is important to note that The National Bank of New Zealand overtook
The Rural Bank in 1992 (source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bank_of_New_Zealand). The
National Bank of New Zealand is however a subsidiary of the Australian
and New Zealand Banking Group (the third largest bank in Australia).

Another source: "Sir John, considered one of New Zealand's most
successful bankers, has overseen three major acquisitions in his 14
years with NBNZ. These include Rural Bank in 1992, and the acquisition
of Country Wide National Trust Bank in 1997." Source:
