Rabobank extends Qld planning presence
Rabobank has continued to expand its financial planning footprint, this time via the acquisition of Queensland financial advisory firm Dayas Financial Services.
Rabobank Australia and New Zealand chief executive Bruce Dick said the bank had purchased the client portfolio of Dayas, with the company’s staff and principal advisor Perry Dayas also moving to employment under the Rabobank Financial Advisors umbrella.
He said this was consistent with the firm’s overall strategy to grow the business nationally and into New Zealand.
“To do this, we need scale and a presence in key centres,” Dick said. “Dayas adds to our scale and immediately provides a strong presence in Queensland.”
