National Australia Bank has moved to upgrade its specialised NAB Financial Planner Banking unit.
The banking group announced this week that it had appointed lead bankers in each of the major cities around Australia who would be responsible for managing activities and industry participation.
NAB Financial Planner Banking national manager Malcolm Arnold said that having lead bankers in each state demonstrated the group’s commitment to delivering business banking solutions to the financial planning industry at a local level.
