Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

It's thought New Zealanders' faith in rural banks is dwindling.  The Government's requested for the Finance and Expenditure and Primary Production select committees to lead a joint inquiry into rural banking.  Rural Women NZ says their communities are facing a range of problems including banking competition and customer service.  Chief Executive Gabrielle O'Brien told Mike Hosking that a lot of them are losing confidence in the banking sector.  She says they hope the inquiry can address what needs to change and restore that confidence.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
