St George realigns retail and wealth management
St George Bank has announced what it describes as an “organisational realignment”, which will see the creation of a new retail bank and wealth management division.
The move sees the integration of the retail financial services and retail business divisions, which will now be headed by Paul Fegan.
The chief executive of Asgard Wealth Solutions, Geoff Lloyd, will report to Fegan, but will join the group executive management team.
