Great Southern Bank announces new Head of Broker

His arrival follows the recent rebrand of Great Southern Bank from Credit Union Australia, as the brand brings to life its purpose of helping all Australians own their own home.

“I’m excited to join Great Southern Bank at this critical part of their brand evolution. As a customer-owned organisation, all our profits go straight back to our members to provide better services and products – that is a unique proposition,” said Patterson.

Patterson is also passionate about the interaction between brokers and buyers, saying improving the broker experience will always result in a better customer journey:

“Great broker relationships help us support home buyers by sharing our ethos, service proposition and products which meet customers’ diverse needs.

“There has been a lot of foundational work undertaken to date in terms of systems and processes to improve the broker experience, and there’s more in the pipeline. Taking a responsible approach to growth is key to ensure we don’t compromise the customer experience along the way.”

Great Southern Bank’s Chief Customer Officer, Megan Keleher, welcomed Patterson saying, “Mathew joins us at an important time for the business, as we look to expand our broker channel and work with them on demonstrating why Great Southern Bank is the right choice for home buyers.”
