National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand Limited owned a nationwide stock and station agency business originally intended to invest directly in New Zealand pastoral activities and lend to other participants in that industry. By the 1960s it was involved not only in the export of wool, meat, and livestock, but it also provided grain and seed merchandising, wholesale grocery services such as wines and spirits, and arrangement of property and other real estate sales.

The business was founded in 1864 in Dunedin by G.G Russell and that was taken over by the new London enterprise in 1878. 108 years after foundation, the business merged with competitor Wright Stephenson & Co to form NMA Wright Stephenson in 1972.
