Statement from Regional Australia Bank CEO, David Heine

Regional Australia Bank CEO, David Heine

I would firstly like to take the opportunity to acknowledge and show my respect for Kevin Dupé and his more than two decades of hard work and leadership excellence to make Regional Australia Bank the success it is today.

To Kevin’s fantastic leadership team and the hardworking staff at Regional Australia Bank, I am very much looking forward to working with such a strong and talented group of dedicated professionals. Your work is important and has purpose. You are the reason so many regional Australians have quite rightly chosen Regional Australia Bank as their relationship bank.

I would like to thank the board for the opportunity and trust they have shown me in taking on this new leadership chapter for Regional Australia Bank. I am thrilled to continue the great work of my predecessor in championing regional Australia. I believe in the difference that mutuality brings in allowing us to remain focused on creating and delivering value to our members.

As a born and bred country boy, I have always had an affinity for Regional Australia. It is a great honour to lead this wonderful organisation. I am excited by the opportunity to help other regional Australians with their day-to-day financial challenges through relationships based on respect, integrity and fairness.

I look forward to joining the team and building on Regional Australia Bank’s success, and guiding our next phase of growth.

David Heine
Chief Executive Officer
