NAB is Australia’s most hunted bank. It’s fighting back

Chief executive Andrew Irvine knows he’s got what everyone wants – the leading business bank in the nation. And he’s not giving up his turf without a fight.

Andrew Irvine wants to make it very clear – he’s had enough of the market talking down National Australia Bank.

“The bank is up and about,” the NAB chief executive tells Chanticleer on Wednesday, shortly after delivering the bank’s earnings result for the six months ended March 31. “I just feel like the narrative over the last two or three months is the wrong narrative about our bank. We’re executing well, we’re on the front foot, and we’re proud of what we’re doing.”
