Banking with Westpac
We’re here to help
At Westpac North Shore help is what we do – and we’re very proud to be a part of this fantastic community.
North Shore is an area that has experienced significant population growth and a changing demographic over recent years. And all indications are that this will continue.
We can help with all aspects of banking – from facilitating a simple credit card application to handling complex business solutions. We have an outstanding team of experienced bankers who are dedicated to providing the best in customer service.
One such team member is Senior Business Manager Peter Carrucan. With 30 years’ banking experience, Peter has seen various economic cycles and brings a vast amount of skill and knowledge to the team. His experience spans retail, business and commercial banking, and is underpinned by a Graduate Diploma in Business from Massey University.
A keen sportsman, Peter is currently involved in triathlon and had the honour of representing New Zealand at the 2009 and 2010 Age Group World Champs in Gold Coast, Australia and Budapest, Hungary respectively.
Peter is a North Shore local who is proud to help the local business community.
“My family and I live on the North Shore and I have worked in the area for many years,” says Peter. “I’m committed to working with local customers to understand what is important to them and provide financial solutions to meet their needs. I’m proud to support the local business community and am here to help it grow.”
This sentiment is echoed by Peter’s colleague, Andrew Thomson who is also a Senior Business Manager. Andrew manages a small portfolio of mid market clients, as well as leading a team of six business bankers.
Andrew brings around 25 years’ banking experience to the role – this experience covers different areas of the industry, including international trade finance, corporate, commercial, business and retail banking.
For Andrew, the best aspect of his role is working with different businesses, adding value and helping them to be more successful.
“We work with a diverse range of businesses on a daily basis. What I really enjoy is getting to understand my clients’ businesses and help them to be successful with the support of my business specialist partners.”
Another North Shore local, Andrew is married with three school aged children, is currently the Board Chair at Pinehill School, and coaches and plays hockey.
Beyond banking, Westpac North Shore supports the bank’s numerous sponsorship initiatives, such as fundraising for the annual Chopper Appeal, various community activities and beach clean ups, including recent clean ups at Long Bay, Takapuna and Devonport beaches.
We also assist with improving financial literacy throughout the North Shore in conjunction with local secondary schools.
With our strong community commitment, extensive local knowledge, and a focus on understanding our clients, Westpac North Shore is here to help.
