ANZ, NAB and ‘Bigger for You’ Bendigo’s ever bigger greed

Despite eye irrigation profits, banking sector ‘Executives throw the workers to the scrap heap while the bonuses are in their pocket’ and to provide less service. Michelle reportes the pin.

This week, Big Four Bank Anz knowledgeable 3,500 employees lost their jobs via automatic E -mail.

NAB, a second banking company that does not want to be left behind, almost followed the case after 24 hours, announcement 410 dismissal.

And yesterday (September 11), bendigo Bank announced 158 dismissal.

Bendigo Bank… [is] Managers are thrown into a pile of scrap, but loyal workers are thrown into the scrap.

These recent interruptions follow Westpac’s 1,500 personnel, Commonwealth Bank’s 164 job interruptions and the dismissal of Bank of Queensland’s dismissal of 200 personnel and half of the contact center to India earlier this year.

According to Union figures, the four largest banks of Australia did 7,885 in 2025.

In a statement, Wendy Streets, President of the Finance Sector Association (FSU) in question The Union will take this to the Fair Business Commission and describe business losses as ”embarrassing ‘.

Added:

‘This is not a Haydut Bank, but all the sector directs the same agenda at the expense of workers and communities.’

Big Boys Anz and Nab

Anz, one of the most profitable banks in the world, dismissed 3,500 employees with E -Posta.

Anz Boss Nuno Matos Giving An apology for automatic surplus e -mails. Matos in question The decision was “Not about profit”Defining the mass layoffs “The right thing to do”.

AFU’nun Wendy Streets in question:

‘This means corporate vandalism and is completely despised against staff, customers and society.’

Apparently, in a comment that did not want to be satirical, a NAB spokesman 400 justified strange business cuts. follow -up:

“Like many businesses, we regularly examine our way of working and how we are configured to provide the best experience we can do for our customers.”

The spokesman did not explain how to reduce the number of people existing to cope with customers, how to improve the “customer experience ,, but most people have experienced banking customer service, and it is right to say that the majority of Australians did not keep their breath for a large explanation.

In addition to non-existent customer service, Big Four Banks, excessive payment of managers, low payments of workers, various data violations-for example, when the personal customer information is in a jump garbage box-and oh yes, carefully lying and cheating.

Another thing that banks are known is, of course, making money.

In the case of Anz and NAB, their profits have increased significantly in the last sector. Anz, for the half -year ended on March 31, 2025, an increase of 16 percent compared to the previous half of the previous half made a post -tax profit. And NAB’s profits increased by 3.4 percent to $ 870 million.

Bigger for the bank bend

Meanwhile, Bendigo Bank, which was once called the “Community” Bank, is no longer satisfied with its size and does not want to participate in the Pissing contest with larger men. The Bank gradually eliminates customer service by closing as many regional banks as possible and then boasting.

Bendigo Bank’s new ad, Blitz Coins the Catchphrase, “Great in banking. Bigger for you” – a very unreasonable attempt to convince the average Australians (because it is not exactly one of the Big Four to bendigo Bank).

As Dale Webster recently reported IAIn addition to taking off the workers, Bendigo Bank also also:

• It was withdrawn from community groups from donations collection partnerships;
• announced that ten branches and 28 agencies were closed; And
• announced A snow of $ 514.6 million.

Since 2018, this has been bringing total Bendigo Bank closures to a total of 95 branches and 70 agents and leaving 56 towns without banking services.

FSU National Secretary Julia Angrisano in question Bendio Bank likes to marketing itself differently, and “blind”, just like Big Four Banks.

HE in question:

Bendio… [is] Managers are thrown into a pile of scrap, but loyal workers are thrown into the scrap. ‘

“The right thing to do”

. 2019 Banking Royal CommissionThe final report on banks and relevant financial institutions revealed the culture of choosing profit through systemic abuse and customers, which ‘A Culture of Office’.

Among the many shocking abuses, low lights:

• 500,000 housing loan customers have been receiving false interest rates for more than ten years;
• Rewarding to convert customers into larger and longer home loans than required for misleading customers;
• Fees for non -existent services;
• When customers are not assumed, foreclosures in property; And even,
• To continue to receive insurance premiums for dead people.

These brutal actions took place at the time of increasing growth for the banking sector.

During former However, the global financial crisis, banks also received a 120 billion dollar government rescue.

Now, despite the latest eye irrigation profits, Australia’s banks closed a large sepat of the labor force, the outsourced call centers to overseas companies, and even more branches.

What is this story about? The motive of profit is something, but it is not only about large multinational companies that make mega professional.

This is not only about closing the branches or making efficiency improvements using intelligent algorithms such as artificial intelligence.

This is one of the columns of the community, which provides business and protects our savings and helps small businesses to start and succeed.

And if we resulted in very rich men and smart computers and lands where people once worked or developed, we have nothing.

This is not just the opposite “The right thing to do”Like the streets of ms bay:

‘… UNHINGED was directed by reckless, unnecessary and pure greed.’
