Optus and parent company Singtel have inked a multi-year deal extending a major telecommunication and managed services agreement with the ANZ bank until 2020.
The strategic partnership between Optus and the ANZ was first established in 2009 with a five year ICT services deal announced in 2013.

John Paitaridis, Optus Business Managing Director says the contract extension with their ANZ is a “significant milestone” for Singtel and Optus, and the strategic partnership with the bank “continues to go from strength to strength”.
