Briefs: Two senior appointments at ANZ, NAB's new T2 issue, one more G-SIB 07 November 2014 4:35PM Banking Day staff Briefs, Scott Collary has been anointed ANZ's new chief information officer, reporting to chief operating officer Alistair Currie. This means that all of the Big Four banks have changed their information chiefs in the past year. Collary was previously CIO for Citigroup's North America consumer business and its global cards operations, where he was responsible for all aspects of consumer banking technology and led large transformation programs at Citigroup's North American businesses, expertise ANZ was keen to emphasise. Collary will move to Melbourne, ready to commence at ANZ in early December 2014. NAB has become the first bank to successfully market a euro Basel III compliant Tier 2 bond from an Australian lender. However, the hefty premium NAB paid over locally issued instruments could deter similar deals in future, according to the International Financing Review. NAB opened its books on the ten-year non-call five-year issue with initial price thoughts of around 175 basis points over mid-swaps. The €750m A3/BBB+/A+ rated two per cent November 12 2024s priced at the tight end of guidance, at 165 bps over mid swaps, ther IFR noted.
