ANZ has promised to redeploy around fifty staff affected by its latest round of branch closures across the country.
The bank confirmed on Monday that it plans to withdraw another 15 branches this year in regional parts of NSW, Victoria and Western Australia as it accelerates the cull of over-the-counter customer services.
In the last 15 months the bank has shuttered 143 outlets.
ANZ’s head of retail Katherine Bray said staff were notified of the branch closures late last week.
“We announced the closures to employees last week and we will seek to retain as many of them as we can, particularly with increased demands on other areas of the bank that could benefit from their skills and experience,” she said.
