ABA chief executive to step down
The chief executive of the Australian Bankers' Association (ABA), David Bell, will step down in July next year.
The chairman of the ABA, Ralph Norris, thanked Bell for his service during a challenging time for the industry.
“David and his ABA team have delivered a tremendous amount of support and value to the member banks during the term of his leadership,” Norris said.
Bell thanked his management team and said he would continue to work with the ABA to ensure the regulatory proposals and parliamentary reviews are dealt with “in the best possible way”.
