But for ANZ, ASB and Fisher Funds to also lose their default status was unexpected.

Revenue rose by 39 percent to $249m, as the money processed on its platforms increased by $2.6 billion to $9.8b for the period.
Pushpay chief executive Molly Matthews said the strong result reflects the value of its services, and the ability of its staff to adapt to the disruption brought by the pandemic. The company welcomed many new customers, successfully realised strategic cross-selling opportunities within the customer base and achieved operational efficiencies across the combined business, she said.
