Sydney: November 6, 2007
RaboPlus, today announced the launch of the RaboPlus Senior Executive blog at http://www.raboplus.com.au/blog. RaboPlus is the online high interest savings and DIY managed funds investment service from AAA credit rated Rabobank.
In keeping with its mission to provide customers with direct resources to start, manage, and grow their investments, RaboPlus now offers its customers a direct communication line to the head of RaboPlus Australia, Bryan Inch.
Bryan, head of financial service for Rabobank Australia and New Zealand, will cover a broad range of issues faced by Australian investors, and host debate, enabling Australian banking customers to share their day-to-day banking and investment experiences. The blog will also allow RaboPlus customers to make their views public, good or bad, to the head of RaboPlus and get an online response.
"Our goal at RaboPlus.com.au is to provide investors with the tools and resources they need to grow and succeed in investing in an open and transparent way," said Mr Inch.
"My new blog represents our commitment to bringing our customers into that conversation. It is important to me to listen to our customers and take their feedback and concerns seriously and act on them. I don't want to be hidden in an office just running RaboPlus. To do that properly, I need to engage with our customers."
