Hi there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Craig Keary and I joined Raiz on 1 June as the new CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across large banks, global financial institutions, wealth businesses and digital investment platforms in Australia and overseas. One thing has become very clear to me: too many parts of the financial system were built for people who were already financially confident, already wealthy or already knew where to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is exactly why I joined Raiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Helping Australians build wealth shouldn’t be complicated, intimidating or reserved for a select few. It should be simple, accessible and something everyone can participate in. I didn’t join to run another financial services company, I joined because I believe Raiz has the opportunity to improve the financial wellbeing of millions of Australians. Businesses with that level of purpose are rare, and that is a vision worth fighting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 347,000* Australians have chosen Raiz to help them take control of their financial future and together you have entrusted us with more than $2.17* billion of your money. That is an enormous responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what can you expect from me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, an unwavering focus on customers. Every decision we make should answer a simple question: is this good for our customers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, a platform that grows with you. Enabling you to invest small amounts regularly remains at the heart of what we do, but we also see opportunities to expand what is possible, including direct access to Australian shares, US markets and tools that help you better understand your money and make more informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, trust will remain non-negotiable. Clear communication, integrity and delivering on our promises will always underpin the way we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia needs businesses that genuinely help people build financial confidence, create long-term wealth and achieve their goals. That’s the opportunity I see ahead of us, and I’m incredibly glad to be here for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your financial journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best is absolutely still ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
