Kiwibank has appointed Tim Main as its new Treasurer.

Main was previously Treasurer of BNZ and has also held the role of Australian Region Treasurer and Head of Balance Sheet Management for National Australia Bank as well as Treasurer and Chief Economist of ANZ NZ.

Kiwibank’s Acting Chief Executive Mark Stephen said he was looking forward to Main sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with the team at Kiwibank.

“Tim has a proven track record. He has a massive amount of experience and brings a new perspective to the role at Kiwibank. We are looking forward to Tim’s leadership as we continue to mature and challenge the status quo."

Main says: “After a period of time working as Advisor to the CFO at BNZ, I’m very excited to be returning to a fulltime Treasurer role."

“I like that Kiwibank has a large, loyal customer and deposit funding base. This creates a strong balance sheet and means that we have real control over our destiny. My success will be measured in the way that Kiwibank can grow sustainably into the future,” he said.

Main starts with Kiwibank on 18 July and will be based in Auckland. He takes over the role from Richard Schofield who is retiring having been with Kiwibank since its inception more than 16 years ago.
