Opportunity lies in private banking, says BT
BT Financial Group has appointed Jane Watts as general manager of Westpac Private Bank, following the departure of Jan Swinhoe.
Watts joins Westpac Private Bank after eight years at Macquarie Private Wealth. BT Financial Group chief executive Brad Cooper said there was a “real opportunity” around wealth management in the high-net-worth segment.
“The private banking industry in Australia is still in a rapid state of evolution and our momentum is centred on delivering a broader suite of services that is more aligned to the needs of our high-net-worth clients,” he said.
