Mark Woolnough said the trial would provide insight on how best to expand the products available to brokers.
"We’re keen to leverage our broker network to distribute more products, supporting our strategy to become our customers’ primary bank. This trial will allow us to better understand how we can best do this," he said.
The program will pay $150 to brokers who refer clients to the bank's Orange Everyday account. Customers will also be given a $50 bonus on account activation.
"We see value in the broker’s relationship with their customers and will provide all the relevant information to ensure the broker maintains control whilst making it as easy as possible to refer. This presents another opportunity for brokers to maintain contact and deepen the relationship with their customers," Woolnough said.
