(Reuters) -Australia's ANZ Group ( ANZGF ) said on Friday its customer deposits and net loans and advances rose in the third quarter, while credit risk-weighted assets edged higher due to growth in home lending at its domestic retail division.

ANZ, Australia's fourth-largest bank in terms of market value, said its common equity tier 1 ratio, a key metric of spare cash, rose by 16 basis points since March to 11.9%.

This reflected the effect of higher lending growth in both Australia retail and institutional segments.

Mortgage payments in Australia past their due date for 90 or more days rose 4 bps to 88 bps as compared to last year, the banking group said in a limited quarterly trading update, which did not disclose its quarterly cash profit figure.

The firm reported a growth of A$19 billion ($12.35 billion) in customer deposits in the quarter. Its net loans and advances grew 2%.
