Retail banking: Westpac replaces Hanlon

By Larry Schlesinger | 8/12/2009 8:00:00 AM | 0 comments

Less than a week since announcing Westpac's 45bps interest rate increase, Peter Hanlon has been replaced as head of the bank's retail and business banking business division.

His role has been taken on by Rob Coombe, BT Financial Group chief executive.

Hanlon has been appointed group executive for people and transformation, responsible for modernising the system and processes in place to serve customers.

He spent just over a year in the role of head of retail and business banking, having been appointed to the position on 20 November last year, following Westpac's purchase of St.George.

Brad Cooper, who led the St George integration, has replaced Coombe as chief executive of BT Financial Group.

All appointments take effect on 1 February next year.
