Beyond Bank, one of Australia’s largest customer-owned banks, is bidding farewell to one of its longest-serving executives, Mr Wayne Matters.
Mr Matters, who has worked at the Bank for almost 24 years and is currently Interim CEO, will retire on 24 April,
handing over the reins to Mr David Marshall, who will commence on 26 March.
“It is with both sadness and gratitude that we say goodbye to Wayne but we wish him all the very best for a long, healthy and happy retirement,” said Ms Sam Andersen, Chair Beyond Bank.
“Wayne’s commitment to diligent financial governance has kept our financial position strong over many years, and we are truly grateful to him for leading this area so capably.
“He has also made a substantial contribution to our culture across more than two decades, championing diversity and inclusion as well as advocating strongly for the Bank’s leadership development initiatives”.
Since starting in 2001 as Chief Financial Officer, Mr Matters has also filled other critical roles in the business including Company Secretary and Deputy CEO.
During his tenure, he has sat on several industry working groups, supported countless community initiatives and overseen the Bank’s early work in the establishment of a climate-reporting framework.
Ensuring a smooth transition, Mr Matters will support Mr Marshall over a four-week handover period at the Bank’s Adelaide headquarters.
Mr Marshall, most recently CEO of Ultradata and with executive experience at Defence Bank, Hume Bank,
Commonwealth Bank, and Westpac, was appointed as CEO in January 2025.
