A major bank has added 163 new roles to its business and private banking operations as part of a new strategy to become “Australia’s best business bank”.
With a focus on “growth corridors across Australia”, National Australia Bank’s recruitment drive will see 130 of the new roles based in metro and rural Victoria and New South Wales, followed by Queensland.
NAB has also opened four new Customer Connect Centres in Toowoomba, Tamworth, Bendigo and Bunbury.
Slated as the bank’s biggest talent investment of the last decade, the new roles will include 50 home loan business bankers, 26 commercial brokers, 65 business direct and small business bankers and 22 relationship bankers.
Service areas will focus on agribusiness, health, professional services, education and private banking.
“These new roles build on the work we’ve done to ensure small business and agribusiness customers across Australia have access to banking at all times,” said NAB’s chief customer officer, business and private banking, Anthony Healy.
“We are not standing still in our commitment to kickstart a cycle of meaningful business investment and growth in Australia. Supporting customers to grow means we need to be agile in our approach to how we structure our business and this is delivering results,” he added
