Message from NAB Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Thorburn, to NAB Senior Leaders:

“I want to let you know that, this morning, NSW Police informed us of the execution of a search warrant involving a former supplier of the bank. I attach the Police statement on this matter. There will be media and external commentary on this, and I wanted to inform you of the situation.

This matter has been investigated by us, and was reported quickly to Police, and we will continue to fully cooperate with them. The people under investigation no longer work with the bank, or are involved with us.

There are no customers involved or impacted.

We will not be commenting further while this remains under Police investigation.

Our focus must remain on serving our customers with professionalism and integrity.”
