Commonwealth Bank Broadens Indigenous Business Division

Mitchell Heritage, a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience in banking, has joined Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) as the Senior Product Owner in the Indigenous Business Banking sector. His appointment comes as part of CBA’s commitment to furthering Indigenous business growth and supporting communities.

In his new role, Heritage will play a crucial role in implementing CBA’s Indigenous Business Banking Growth Strategy and fulfilling the business banking commitments outlined in CBA’s Reconciliation Action Plan. Rebecca Warren, CBA’s Executive General Manager Business Banking, expressed her confidence in Heritage’s ability to drive positive change within the Indigenous business sector.

“We are thrilled to have Mitchell join our team of dedicated business banking specialists who are focused on building strong relationships with Indigenous businesses and communities,” Warren stated. “His expertise in home buying will be instrumental in expanding our product offerings and enhancing the overall customer experience for Indigenous business owners.”

Heritage, who began his career at CBA as a School Based Trainee at the age of 14, has a deep passion for supporting Indigenous communities and businesses. He is eager to leverage his skills and experience to facilitate home ownership opportunities for Indigenous entrepreneurs and contribute to the growth of generational wealth within these communities.

With the expansion of CBA’s Indigenous Business Banking team and the introduction of initiatives like the Indigenous Business Education Series in collaboration with Supply Nation, Heritage is poised to make a significant impact in driving positive outcomes for First Nations businesses and communities. His dedication and commitment to supporting Indigenous businesses make him a valuable addition to CBA’s Indigenous Business Banking division.
