Similarly, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia sounds like a government bank, and in fact even began as one, but is actually privitised. They also happen to be the sole owners for New Zealand's ASB - So that one is also Australian!

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve had to listen to Six60 while on hold, I’d be rich enough to start a bank.

Well my call to waka kotahi cost me 90 euros last week. 30 minute wait time and 6 minute convo. Turns out calls outside EU while roaming is priced at a whopping 2.5 eur a minute.

Skype call credit can certainly help you out when calling home from overseas!
And here is the funny bit, it's Australian owned. If it's anything like the rest of the market which is dominated by Australian banks, it'll pay some old kiwiana type music when you are on hold and say 'Kia Ora' or similar at regular intervals. Kiwi as.
