ING Australia relaunches as OnePath

OnePath is the new name for ING Australia and recently they toured the country to let us all know.
The theme of the event was ‘Making your path matter’ and featured insights into the new brand as well as exciting keynote speaker, former Boomtown Rat Sir Bob Geldof.
Sir Bob explored issues of trust and commitment and gave us an intimate look at how he’s made the most of his path. 
The new brand signifies the start of an exciting new chapter for the business, with the full strength of ANZ standing behind it.  We now face further industry and regulatory change and an uncertain economic environment. Through it all, there’s one thing we’re assured we can be certain of – and that is OnePath’s ongoing commitment to you – the client and the value of advice.
