ANZ National Bank chairman Sir Dryden Spring will retire next month.
Sir Dryden has been involved with the bank since 1994 and was chairman for six.
He was a director of the National Bank of New Zealand from 1994, which amalgamated with ANZ National Bank in 2004 and is now the country's biggest lender.
Two years later he was appointed chairman.
He will be replaced by ANZ National Bank board director John Judge, chairman of the Accident Compensation Corporation, on June 23.
Two years ago, Sir Dryden retired as an independent director of Fletcher Building, having joined Fletcher Challenge in 1999 before it was separated into its operating units.
He was previously chairman of Fletcher Challenge Forests, now known as Tenon.
Sir Dryden was knighted for his services to the dairy industry in 1994, having chaired the NZ Co-operative Dairy Co from 1982-89 and the NZ Dairy Board from 1989-99.
Mr Judge is also a director of Fletcher Building, and most recently has had to contend with a privacy breach from the ACC, which cost former ACC minister Nick Smith his seat at the Cabinet table over his advocacy of a complainant.
Separately, ANZ National's chief financial officer Peter Marriott announced he will resign from management and as a director from the end of the month.
