CBA appoints new state manager for Victoria, Tasmania

CommBank has appointed Ibrahim Hanania as its new state manager for Victoria and Tasmania, bringing with him a diverse background in financial services spanning more than 20 years.

Razia Khan (pictured above right), general manager third party banking at CBA, said Hanania most recently worked as the state lead, distribution for NSW/ACT at St. George Bank, collaborating closely with brokers, aggregators and the state relationship manager team.

“Prior to this role, Ibby spent time supporting new-to-industry brokers, during which time he was able to build his craft and gain valuable finance experience,” Khan said.

“Ibby's passion for the third party industry stems from a genuine desire to help brokers and customers.

“He wants to not only help brokers grow their business, but also help customers enjoy an exceptional home buying experience.”

New CommBank manager keen to build broker relationships

Khan said Hanania, who started at CommBank on January 15, was enthusiastic about building relationships with all broker groups, getting to know their business, what drove them and how they supported their clients.

Khan, who was appointed to her role in October last year, said she was incredibly excited to welcome Hanania (pictured above left) to the team.

“He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as a dynamic approach to the role and I am really excited to work with him as he supports our brokers and their customers,” Khan said.

“He is committed to working closely with our Vic/Tas brokers to give their clients an exceptional home buying experience, as well as our head group partners to support the success of their broker network and promote CommBank within the industry.”

Broker deal with challenges, says CBA state manager

Khan said brokers faced some challenges in the current market.

“Specifically, they are dealing with higher interest rates and the ramifications this has on customers and their finances, as well as evolving customer needs and an ever-changing property market,” Khan said.
