Stars
ANZ Plus Digital Platform
ANZ Plus, ANZ Group Holdings’ digital-first platform, saw deposits rise 45% y/y to A$12.6bn and added 1.2m customers by Dec 2025, becoming the primary vehicle for retail transformation.
It captures roughly 38% of new retail customers aged 18–34 and needs continued heavy software investment—ANZ allocated A$420m to digital development in FY2025—to stay competitive with neobanks.
As ANZ Plus rolls out mortgages and unsecured lending in 2026, management expects it to shift from customer-acquisition expense to the main revenue driver for retail, targeting 25–30% of retail net interest income within three years.
Sustainable Finance and ESG Advisory
ANZ leads Asia-Pacific transition finance, underwriting about US$12.4bn in green bonds and sustainability-linked loans in 2024, roughly 18% regional market share per BloombergNEF, positioning it as a Star in the BCG matrix.
Global regulatory shifts and corporate net-zero pledges drive demand; ANZ allocates capital to projects needing ~US$40–60bn annually in renewables across its markets.
Specialized teams and deal pipeline give ANZ a clear edge over smaller regional banks entering the space.
Suncorp Bank Integration and Queensland Growth
Following the 2024 acquisition and integration of Suncorp Bank, ANZ secured ~28% share of Queensland retail deposits (Q4 2024 APRA data), creating a Star in the BCG matrix driven by a 6.5% CAGR in regional mortgage balances (FY2022–FY2024).
The unit leverages local brand loyalty and ANZ’s A$120bn institutional balance sheet (FY2024) to push mortgages, SME loans and asset finance into fast-growing corridors.
ANZ is allocating A$3.5bn in targeted capital and marketing through 2026 to capture migration-led housing demand and infrastructure spending tied to major regional events.
Institutional Trade and Supply Chain Finance
ANZ’s Institutional Trade and Supply Chain Finance unit leverages strong Australia-Asia corridors, capturing an estimated 18% share of regional trade flows and processing over AUD 120bn in trade volume in FY2024, positioning it as a leader as firms shift manufacturing from China to Southeast Asia.
The business delivers advanced letters of credit, receivables financing, and transaction banking but needs sustained tech spend—ANZ disclosed AUD 350m in operational and tech investment for 2024—to handle cross-border KYC, FX, and settlement complexity.
Despite higher operating costs, this unit remains a strategic growth engine, contributing roughly 12% of group fee income in FY2024 and supporting ANZ’s corporate franchise during trade diversification trends.
- 18% regional trade share; AUD 120bn trade volume FY2024
- AUD 350m tech/ops spend 2024
- ~12% of group fee income FY2024
Digital Asset and Tokenization Services
ANZ’s A$DC stablecoin and institutional tokenization platforms have made it a market leader in Oceania’s regulated digital asset space, capturing an estimated 45% institutional market share in Australian bank-backed token services as of Dec 2025 while burning ~A$80m in R&D since 2021.
The segment still consumes substantial cash but benefits from 70%+ YoY growth in blockchain settlements across regional FX and securities markets, keeping it a Star with potential to replace core settlement rails by 2028–2029.
- 45% institutional share (Dec 2025)
- ~A$80m R&D spend since 2021
- 70%+ YoY blockchain settlement growth
- Replacement of core rails possible by 2028–2029

Cash Cows
Australian Home Loans Portfolio
The mature Australian residential mortgage book is ANZ Group Holdings’ primary liquidity and profit engine, with a ~12% market share of outstanding mortgages (~A$210bn) as of FY2025, delivering steady net interest income in a low-growth market.
These mortgages produce high, predictable cash flow and require minimal marketing versus new digital products, contributing roughly A$4.5bn pre-provision profit in FY2025 to fund digital transformation and dividends.
New Zealand Personal Banking
ANZ New Zealand Personal Banking dominates with ~38% market share of retail deposits and delivered NZ$2.1bn underlying profit in FY2024, providing stable cash flows in a consolidated, low-growth market.
High net interest margins (approx 2.1% in 2024) and cost-to-income near 45% keep returns strong and capital needs low, classifying it as a cash cow in ANZ’s BCG matrix.
Its surplus capital funded NZ$1.2bn of group investments into Asia in 2024, underwriting ANZ’s higher-risk growth initiatives abroad.
Australian SME Business Banking
The Australian SME business banking unit is a cash cow for ANZ Group Holdings, generating high margins with an estimated return on equity near 14% and contributing roughly A$1.2bn in net operating cash flow in FY2024.
Market saturation limits growth, but ANZ holds about 18% share of SME lending as of Dec 2024 through long-standing relationships and integrated merchant services processing ~A$45bn annual transaction volume.
Management focuses on efficiency—cost-to-income around 48% in 2024—extracting steady cash to fund higher-growth experiments across the group.
Institutional Cash Management Services
ANZ Group’s Institutional Cash Management Services is a cash cow: it serves major corporates and governments with liquidity and payment solutions in a low-growth, high-barrier sector, generating steady fee income and deposits that lowered ANZ’s cost of funds in 2024—ANZ reported A$28.3b in transaction banking balances and fee revenue stable at ~A$1.1b in FY24.
The business needs minimal reinvestment thanks to mature infrastructure and scale, supporting margins and capital efficiency while funding other growth areas.
- High barriers: large contracts, compliance, tech scale
- Stable fees: ~A$1.1b transaction banking fees FY24
- Deposit base: A$28.3b transaction balances FY24
- Low reinvestment: mature platforms keep costs down
Retail Deposit Base
ANZ’s branch-based savings and term deposits remain a low-cost funding engine, holding about A$270 billion in customer deposits as of FY2025, supporting loan growth with stable net interest margin contribution.
Digital shift is steady, but high deposit volume makes this a classic cash cow—priority is retention and cross-sell (wealth, home loans) rather than market expansion.
- ~A$270bn retail deposits (FY2025)
- Low funding cost vs wholesale
- Focus: retention + cross-sell, not expansion
ANZ’s cash engines: A$210bn mortgages, NZ profits, SME & transaction fees fueling growth
ANZ’s cash cows—Australian mortgages (~A$210bn, ~12% market share FY2025), NZ personal banking (NZ$2.1bn underlying profit FY2024, ~38% deposit share), SME lending (A$1.2bn cash flow FY2024, ~18% share), transaction banking (A$28.3bn balances, ~A$1.1bn fees FY24), and A$270bn retail deposits (FY2025)—generate stable cash, low reinvestment, and fund growth.
| Unit | 2024/25 |
|---|---|
| Aus mortgages | A$210bn |
| NZ profit | NZ$2.1bn |
| SME cash | A$1.2bn |
| Tx banking fees | A$1.1bn |
| Retail deposits | A$270bn |

Dogs
Traditional Physical Branch Network
ANZ Group Holdings’ traditional physical branch network faces declining foot traffic—Australia saw branch visits drop ~35% from 2019–2023—and carries high overheads, contributing to ANZ’s elevated cost-to-income pressure (ANZ’s FY2024 CIR ~55%).
Growth prospects are low as digital channels now handle over 80% of transactions, shrinking branch share of interactions and making many locations a drag on profitability.
ANZ retains a minimal branch presence for brand visibility, while phasing out sites or converting them into low-cost service hubs; in 2024 ANZ closed or repurposed ~120 branches across ANZ markets.
Legacy Wealth and Private Banking Assets
Post-2024 divestments left ANZ Group with legacy wealth and private banking assets that face sub-2% annual market growth and heavy regulatory oversight under APRA and ASIC, constraining scale.
These units lose share to boutiques and passive index providers; ANZ’s wealth AUM fell to about A$18bn in 2024, behind niche rivals and Vanguard’s Australian A$150bn+ passive footprint.
Compliance and conduct costs consume a rising share—estimated 30–40% of unit costs—yielding low ROE versus group targets and prompting strategic repricing or exit options.
Minority Asian Retail Banking Stakes
ANZ’s remaining minority retail stakes in Asia generate low growth and limited influence, collectively contributing under 2% of group revenue and tying up roughly A$500–700m in equity at end-2025.
These holdings lack scale versus regional giants, show single-digit CAGR projections, and have prompted years of divestments as ANZ reallocates capital to institutional banking and digital platforms.
High-Cost Legacy IT Infrastructure
ANZ Group’s older mainframes and fragmented data stacks act as high-cost legacy Dogs—no growth, heavy maintenance: ANZ reported NZD 1.2bn IT run costs in FY2024, with legacy decommissioning projects absorbing ~15% of tech capex and yielding no revenue uplift.
These platforms are being migrated to cloud services (multi-year program through 2026), but during transition they remain cash-traps, tying up capital and offering no competitive edge in digital banking.
- NZD 1.2bn IT run costs FY2024
- ~15% of tech capex to legacy decommissioning
- Migration program through 2026
- No direct revenue or market-share gains
Non-Core Personal Lending Products
Non-core personal loans and standalone credit-card segments outside the ANZ Plus ecosystem have lost share to fintechs, with ANZ’s unsecured retail lending volume down about 8% year-on-year to A$6.2bn in FY2024 and market share slipping ~1.2pp versus 2021.
These products show higher default rates—ANZ’s unsecured retail impaired assets rose to 1.8% in 2024 vs 0.6% for secured mortgages—and slower CAGR (<1% vs 4% for integrated digital offerings).
Management treats them as peripheral: lower growth, higher credit risk, and poor fit with the bank’s strategic push toward holistic, integrated digital ecosystems like ANZ Plus; expect gradual run-down or targeted sale.
- ANZ unsecured lending A$6.2bn FY2024, -8% YoY
- Unsecured impairment 1.8% vs mortgage 0.6% (2024)
- Market share down ~1.2pp since 2021
- Growth <1% CAGR vs 4% for integrated digital
ANZ’s cost-heavy “dogs”: branches, legacy IT and non-core loans drag margins
ANZ’s Dogs: low-growth, high-cost units—branches, legacy IT, non-core unsecured lending, and small Asian stakes—drag margins; FY2024 figures: branch visits -35% (2019–23), CIR ~55%, NZD 1.2bn IT run costs, unsecured A$6.2bn (-8% YoY), wealth AUM A$18bn, minority Asia <2% group revenue; expect closures, migrations, and targeted disposals.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Branch visits | -35% (2019–23) |
| CIR FY2024 | ~55% |
| IT run costs FY2024 | NZD 1.2bn |
| Unsecured lending FY2024 | A$6.2bn (-8%) |
| Wealth AUM 2024 | A$18bn |
| Asia revenue | <2% |
Question Marks
Open Banking and API Ventures
The Consumer Data Right (CDR) rollout has created a AU$6.5bn+ addressable Australian market for data-driven financial services by 2025, where ANZ holds a nascent share under 5% in open-banking products.
Personalized offerings—PFM, credit pricing, embedded lending—could lift net interest and fee revenue by 8–12% if ANZ captures 15–20% share, but this needs AU$200–350m in tech and API investment over 3 years.
ANZ faces agile fintechs with lower CAC and faster time-to-market; success hinges on converting CDR-enabled data into profitable consumer products within 12–18 months to avoid prolonged cash burn.
Carbon Trading and Offset Solutions
High growth: global carbon markets reached ~USD 2.1bn in trading value in 2023 and are forecast to exceed USD 50bn by 2030, so ANZ’s plan to build carbon-credit trading and verification platforms targets rapid policy-driven demand.
Low share: ANZ currently holds negligible market share versus global banks (goldman, barclays, mizuho-led deals) as voluntary and compliance markets remain nascent, so position fits BCG Question Mark.
Capital need: building custody, registry, verification tech and specialist teams likely requires tens-to-hundreds of millions AUD upfront and strategic partnerships to scale and avoid margin squeeze.
AI-Driven Personalized Financial Advice
AI-driven personalized financial advice is a Question Mark for ANZ: global robo-advice market hit US$2.3bn in 2024 (CAGR ~17% since 2020) while ANZ reports low current adoption and no large-scale product; capture would need ~$200–300m+ in data science, MLOps, and ethical-AI programs over 3 years.
Cross-Border Payments for Fintechs
ANZ positions as a wholesale payment-rail provider for international fintechs and remitters, targeting a cross-border market that McKinsey valued at US$240bn in revenues in 2024; ANZ’s digital wholesale share remains small versus global clearing banks.
Winning requires heavy investment in real-time payment rails and FX liquidity; expect multi-year capex and platform builds—real-time corridors and ISO 20022 compliance are critical to capture growing e-commerce flows.
- Market size: US$240bn cross-border payments revenue (2024)
- ANZ: developing share in digital wholesale vs global banks
- Key needs: real-time rails, FX liquidity, ISO 20022
- Risk: high capex, incumbent dominance, regulatory/compliance costs
Decentralized Finance Institutional Links
ANZ’s pilots with decentralized finance (DeFi) show potential for institutional liquidity provision—DeFi TVL (total value locked) hit about $85B in 2025 Q3, up ~12% year-on-year—yet ANZ’s active DeFi exposure remains negligible versus its A$1.3T balance sheet.
The bank must choose: deploy targeted capital to capture high-growth, volatile DeFi yield pools or risk strategic drift as payment rails and custody shift on-chain; a small pilot portfolio (0.1–0.5% of balance sheet) could test risk controls.
- DeFi TVL ~US$85B (2025 Q3)
- ANZ balance sheet A$1.3T (2025)
- Suggested pilot size 0.1–0.5% of balance sheet
- Key trade-off: high growth vs. regulatory and volatility risk
ANZ’s Big Bet: AU$200–500m Capex to Crack CDR, Cross‑Border & DeFi—High Growth, High Risk
Question Marks: ANZ targets CDR (AU$6.5bn by 2025) and cross-border payments (US$240bn 2024) plus carbon markets and DeFi; current share <5%, needs AU$200–500m+ capex per initiative and 12–36 months to scale; high growth but high risk from incumbents, regulation, and tech build.
| Market | Size | ANZ share | Capex |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDR | AU$6.5bn (2025) | <5% | AU$200–350m |
| Cross-border | US$240bn (2024) | negligible | multi-year |
