Credit Union Australia (CUA) has created a new head of products role and appointed Jason Murray to drive the maintenance, performance and development of new products.
At the same time, Julie Taylor has been appointed to the newly created role of state manager for New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia.

Taylor has over 30 years of experience working at a ‘big four’ bank, most recently focusing on leading branch developments, driving sales performance and acquiring strong brand presence.
