What is AMP saying?
AMP CEO Alexis George has touted the company's digital presence in an Allan Gray Live investing webinar.
Speaking to investors on Tuesday, George said AMP has a plan to "launch a digital mortgage next week".
She said:
We will launch a digital mortgage next week. Now yes, we used to partner and that's brave.
But we did that in less than 100 days from concept to getting the fourth customer and that is what I want our bank to be — more agile, respond to what's going on, and be brave about putting new initiatives out there.
George highlighted the company's digital presence, saying "we are a digital bank, you know, we don't have branches, we are a digital bank". She said:
Are we mignon, yeah. We're one point something percent market share of of mortgages, but we're digital. We have a brand we have a consumer presence. And I think they're really important.
