ANZ group executive for wealth Alexis George had then said: “This sale remains consistent with our strategy to simplify our operations by focussing on retail and business banking in Australia and New Zealand, and Institutional Banking across the Asia Pacific region.
“While there has been a reduction in the sale price, there have been offsets included and it also provides certainty for our customers and staff.”
