Mō te Tūranga - About the Role
As a Banking Specialist in Westpac Direct, you’ll play a crucial role in helping customers achieve their financial aspirations. This role is primarily phone-based (inbound and outbound calls), with some email and digital communication. You’ll have meaningful conversations and make real decisions that impact people’s lives, especially around lending assessments.
What you’ll do:
Lending Focus: Assess and process applications for personal lending products such as Credit Cards, Personal Loans, Overdrafts, and progress to Home Lending. You’ll review applications, evaluate credit worthiness, and make responsible lending decisions using tools and policies.
Listening and Advising: Provide tailored solutions to meet customer needs, ensuring compliance with regulations and policies.
Proactive Engagement: Identify opportunities to offer further solutions, supporting customers’ current and future financial goals.
KiwiSaver & Insurance Expertise: We support customers with KiwiSaver and insurance products alongside lending solutions.
Customer Interaction: Deliver solution-focused conversations that contribute to customer success and business growth.
Exceptional Experience: Create high quality customer experiences by being empathetic, trusted, and knowledgeable.
Growth Mindset: Build a career in finance, starting with unsecured lending and progressing to secured home lending as you develop skills in credit assessment, financial analysis, and customer relationship management.
Time Management: Prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, agile environment.
Na tōu rourou - What will you bring?
We value attitude and presence as much as experience. Ideally, you’ll bring:
Similar Industry Experience: Previous contact centre and/or financial industry experience preferred but not required.
Interpersonal Skills: Ability to guide customers to fast, effective outcomes using strong communication and rapport-building skills.
Customer Relationship Experience: Proven ability to build strong relationships in customer-focused roles.
