To facilitate the expansion, NAB has increased its number of accredited bankers by 7 to 23, a 44 per cent increase on last year, and increased its accredited credit partners by 14, an increase of 9 on last year.
“Our goal is to have an accredited specialist banker to assist with the banking needs of financial planning businesses in every major rural centre around Australia,” national manager Malcolm Arnold said.
“We understand we are the only bank with specialised bankers on the ground in each state, and now we’re looking to roll out our strategy to financial planners in more areas of each state.”
