But once quick question: Does bank in New Zealand open on Saturday or Sunday?

A man walked into ASB Bank at St Lukes shopping centre yesterday, threatened a teller and walked away with more than $3000. There was another similar robbery at National Bank in Newmarket this morning.

This Morning? The news is reported on Sunday afternoon.
