Wanganui's two city centre ANZ bank branches are to become one.
The bank's operations will eventually be concentrated at the new premises on the corner of Victoria Ave and Maria Place, leaving the fine old former National Bank building by Majestic Square empty.
That building - at 98 Victoria Ave - is not up to seismic standards.
However, it will have a brief lease of new life from next Friday, July 24, when it takes in extra staff from across the road at 101 Victoria Ave while upgrading work is done there.
The branch at 101 will be closing early on the Friday and extra staff at 98 Victoria Ave will ensure customer needs are met until the upgrade is finished and all staff move back in October.
