National Australian Bank appoints SA managers for business and retail banking teams NATIONAL Australia Bank has appointed a new manager for its business division in South Australia and clubbed its state retail banking responsibilities with Western Australia. Banking industry veteran Tom Renda is the new head for nabbusiness and Sean FitzGerald has been named retail manager of South Australia while retaining a similar responsibility for WA. Mr Renda was most recently head of NAB Corporate in Victoria and comes with more than 28 years of banking experience. He said he was looking forward to continuing NAB's support for businesses. "A thriving local business sector is crucial to the ongoing success of the state economy," Mr Renda said. He replaced Joanna White, who has relocated to Sydney as business management manager. Mr FitzGerald replaced Dion Crowe, who has relocated to Queensland, and has more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. "I am excited by the opportunity to continue improving the already excellent NAB experience for new and existing retail customers in South Australia," Mr FitzGerald said. NAB yesterday informed its 800 staff in South Australia where it has 47 retail outlets and 16 business banking centres.
