Credit union hires Westpac member specialist

People's Choice Credit Union has appointed Maria-Ann Camilleri as its new chief member officer.

Camilleri joins from Westpac where she was national head of virtual banking strategy and customer care. Before that, she was the state GM of Westpac's retail operations in Victoria and Tasmania. She was also previously GM of retail banking at BankSA.

Camilleri is joined by Samantha Bradly, who will be the chief people and culture officer.

"The new Executive appointments will ensure we continue this momentum while investing to meet the future expectations of members, as we consolidate our position at one of Australia's largest customer-owned financial institutions," said People's Choice CEO Steve Laidlaw.

People Choice has more than 375,000 members and branches in SA, VIC, NT, ACT, and WA.

Camilleri replaces David Lewis, who is retiring after 21 years with the organisation.
