The Mutual Bank Chairman, Trevor Robinson welcomed the appointment.

“He has consistently demonstrated he can get things done through teamwork and a ‘can do’ attitude which epitomises the goals of our organisation in working with our members to help them achieve their own goals.”

As the former Chief Executive Officer of ASL for over 10 years, a company which provides payment services to mutual banks, David said he knew The Mutual Bank well.

“The Mutual Bank has a stellar reputation in the banking and payments industries,” he said.

“Their unwavering member first approach, consistent financial performance and growth potential is what attracted me to the opportunity.”
