Collary and replaced him with Gerard Florian in a newly created role, Group Executive Technology. He joins from Dimension Data where he was Chief Strategy Officer for the global Cloud Business Unit. Florian will be given a seat on the group executive committee, and responsibility for “defining ANZ’s technology strategy and building and managing the group’s technology infrastructure”.

ANZ Chief Executive Officer Shayne Elliott says: “Gerard’s appointment together with the appointment of Maile Carnegie as Group Executive Digital Banking earlier this year,
NZ has parted ways with its CIO Scott
highlights the critical importance of technology to transforming ANZ to compete effectively in the digital age. Increasingly technology is redefining our business and our relationship with customers. Gerard’s leadership skills and his background in technology including cloud computing make him ideally suited to oversee the strategic shift that we need to make.”
Since the arrival of Carnegie, there have been a number of high profile departures, including Patrick Maes, leaving the bank without a CTO or CIO in favour of newly-created group executive positions, and its head of digital banking Claire Rogers. Elliott comments: “Scott has made a very strong contribution since he joined us in 2014. He has established great working relationships between technology and our businesses, continued to strengthen reliability and efficiency of ANZ’s systems, and built a cohesive team and culture within technology. I thank him for his service and wish him every success in the future.”

Unlike its rivals, the solution can be used on pretty much any smartphone and added to that is the large number of potential customers Chase brings to the table. That being said, also unlike Apple Pay et al, which
are NFC-based, it uses QR codes which have yet to take off Stateside.
“Chase Pay is special because it’s the first digital payments solution that benefits both consumers and merchants,” says Jennifer Roberts, president of strategic alliances and loyalty solutions for Chase. “By focusing on merchant needs first – lower cost, zero fraud liability – we’ve got a real opportunity to break through the mobile payments noise.”
In addition to Walmart, Phillips 66, Conoco, 76, ShopRite and The Fresh Grocer (part of Wakefern Food Corp.) and some Shell stations are also in line to offer the service.
