Confirming the appointment, ANZ chief executive officer, Shayne Elliott said it was designed to help the banking group more consistently deliver fair and responsible banking to its retail and small business customers.
He said that as a first step, Neave would help develop remediation principles so that the ANZ had a consistent set of standards for when things went wrong.
