Bank of New Zealand chief executive Andrew Thorburn had his pay package boosted by 10 per cent in the last financial year to A$2.89 million ($3.68 million).
Thornburn's pay rise is in line with New Zealand's other major bank bosses. Both ANZ New Zealand chief executive David Hisco and Westpac New Zealand boss Peter Clare received 11 per cent remuneration increases in the last year.
Hisco's package was the largest of the three bank chiefs at A$3.26 million ($4.15 million). Clare's total remuneration was A$2.97 million ($3.78 million).
Thorburn received a higher cash salary and more non-montary benefits which include motor vehicle benefits, parking, health fund benefits and peronal tax advice.
But his short term incentive cash benefit, and superannuation benefit was lower for 2012.
