Bruce Rush, CEO, Suncorp Bank
Maile Carnegie, ANZ’s group executive Australia retail will leave the bank on 1 July, so in little more than a week.
Bruce Rush, the Suncorp Bank CEO and managing director, Queensland will be the acting group executive retail.
Carnegie plans to focus on non-executive roles, ANZ said.
Rush will now be directly responsible for the development (and perhaps a speedier rollout) of ANZ Plus, ANZ’s new retail banking platform, which is critical to the integration of Suncorp Bank with ANZ.
At is half-year results in May, the bank said ANZ Plus - launched in late 2002 - had1.06 million customers on the Plus platform.
Deposits on ANZ Plus were $21 billion at March, out of a group total of $359 billion in deposits.

ANZ hired Bruce Rush from Santander UK in 2010. He has been CEO of Suncorp Bank since August 2024.
