Over the past 34 years, the foundation has put more than $153 million into Taranaki communities. The bank, which marked its 170th birthday in 2020, has also launched a second round of its TSB Good Stuff programme, which gives out $250,000 in grants to Kiwis with great ideas to support New Zealand. Last year, the scheme awarded nine grants of up to $30,000. TSB was also won the Consumer New Zealand People’s Choice Award for banking for the sixth year in a row, with 82 per cent of customers surveyed saying they were very satisfied with the service against a nationwide industry average of 64 per cent.
