ANZ Group Executive Wealth Australia Alexis George said: "Financial services such as superannuation, investments and advice are a core part of the support we provide ANZ customers now and in the future.

"By partnering with IOOF, we are able to create greater value for our shareholders while also providing our customers with access to quality wealth products from a specialist provider with the right cultural fit, financial strength and digital capability.
