While NAB has not confirmed which jobs will be cut, the decision is part of the major banks' strategy to modernise their workforce, creating new roles in Australia and overseas.

In a quarterly business survey released today, the bank announced that business confidence has fallen to a 15-month low due to the intensification of costs and labour. 

Wage costs were cited as the biggest issue affecting business confidence, with labour being reported as a significant constraint by several firms.

"Wage costs remained the biggest issue affecting business confidence, and the share of firms reporting labour as a significant constraint rose in the quarter, highlighting that the labour market has remained tight to start 2026," NAB Head of Australian Economics, Gareth Spence, said.
