The proposal will affect staff who manage debt-management and collections for the Australian arm of the bank.

The roles have been held by Wellington staff for almost five years.

If the proposal goes ahead, the roles will move to Manila by October, ANZ said.

The company said it hoped the displaced workers would be offered jobs in other parts of the bank.
