Westpac, ANZ, National, BNZ, ASB, Kiwibank are the main ones.

Which bank suits you best will come down to what services you need - are you borrowing money, investing, do you prefer to do your banking in a branch or online? I would check out the information the Reserve Bank of New Zealand publishes about New Zealand banks - which includes a list of all the banks registered in New Zealand, their credit ratings, and links to their websites.

For borrowing or investing, check out interest.co.nz for all the rates in one place.

It is smaller ones like PSIS and TSB that often rank highest for customer satisfaction. For internet banking, for example, the top five (as ranked by Consumer's 2007 survey) were PSIS, BankDirect, Rabobank, TSB and Kiwibank.
