What is Nuno Matos’s role at ANZ?

Position and responsibilities

Nuno Matos is Group Chief Executive Officer of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ), one of Australia’s Big Four banks. He was appointed to the role on 12 May 2025, according to ANZ’s official executive committee page (corporate governance site).

Why this matters

For shareholders and customers of ANZ, Matos takes the helm at a moment when the bank is navigating regulatory scrutiny and a shifting Australian lending environment. His global banking experience — across retail, commercial, and wholesale — is what the board has bet on.

The ANZ biography states Matos has more than 30 years of experience across retail, commercial and wholesale banking. He was most recently CEO of Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC before joining ANZ, a role that gave him front-line exposure to both consumer and institutional clients across multiple continents.

Career history prior to ANZ

  • Most recent role: CEO of Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC (ANZ Shareholder Centre)
  • Previously ran HSBC’s Mexico business (Bloomberg Australia podcast)
  • Also ran HSBC’s business in London, described as the British arm of HSBC (Bloomberg Australia podcast)
  • Previously held senior roles at Banco Santander (Bloomberg Australia podcast)
  • Has worked in nine different countries over 30 years, according to an Instagram reel quoting Matos (Instagram reel)

The pattern: a Portuguese-born banker who built a career across three continents — starting in Europe at Santander, then moving to HSBC with postings in Mexico and the UK, before taking the top job at ANZ in Australia. This is not a multi-profession individual; it is a single banking executive with a long, linear career in finance.

How old is Nuno Matos?

Age of the ANZ executive

No official public source states the exact birth date or age of Nuno Matos, the ANZ Group CEO. Neither ANZ’s executive profile nor the Bloomberg Australia podcast — which covers his career and family background — disclosed his age. The implication: his age remains unconfirmed in authoritative sources.

Age of other Nuno Matos individuals

The footballer Nuno Miguel Ferreira Matos, listed on Transfermarkt, does not have a publicly available birth date on the site’s profile. The chef and journalist likewise do not list ages on their Instagram profiles. Across all four individuals, no verified age is available from the top search results.

What is Nuno Matos’s salary?

ANZ executive compensation packages

ANZ discloses executive pay in its annual reports, as required by Australian corporate governance rules. However, Nuno Matos’s specific salary and remuneration package was not stated in top search results at the time of this article’s writing. The catch: without a published figure, any reported salary number should be treated as unconfirmed. Comparisons with predecessor Shane Elliott’s compensation would be premature until ANZ releases the data.

The trade-off

For investors tracking ANZ leadership costs, Matos’s pay package will eventually be public. For now, it’s an unknown — and anyone claiming a specific number is not citing an authoritative source.

The market will await ANZ’s next annual report for official salary figures.

Does Nuno Matos work for HSBC?

HSBC connection or confusion

Nuno Matos most recently served as CEO of Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC before joining ANZ. That role is confirmed by both ANZ’s official biography (corporate governance site) and the Bloomberg Australia podcast. He does not currently work for HSBC — his appointment at ANZ ended his HSBC tenure.

The search query confusion likely arises because “Nuno Matos” appears in HSBC context in older articles and internal documents predating his move to ANZ in May 2025.

Known employment history

  • Banco Santander (senior roles) — timeline undisclosed in top sources (Bloomberg Australia podcast)
  • HSBC — including CEO of Wealth and Personal Banking, ran Mexico business, ran London business (Bloomberg Australia podcast)
  • ANZ — Group CEO since 12 May 2025 (ANZ Shareholder Centre)

The transition from HSBC to ANZ is well documented and marks a clear career progression for the executive.

What is Nuno Matos’s LinkedIn profile?

LinkedIn for the ANZ executive

The ANZ Nuno Matos does not appear to have a publicly accessible LinkedIn profile based on top search results. This is consistent with many C-suite executives who maintain limited personal social media footprints. Corporate profiles on ANZ’s official site (corporate governance page) serve as the authoritative biography.

LinkedIn for other Nuno Matos individuals

One Nuno Matos — a CTT (Portuguese postal service) executive — has an active LinkedIn profile, but this individual is distinct from the ANZ CEO, the footballer, the chef, and the journalist. The footballer, chef, and journalist do not have verified LinkedIn profiles in top search results.

The absence of widespread LinkedIn presence for the other individuals is consistent with their industries and public exposure.

“Group Chief Executive Officer of ANZ, with more than 30 years’ experience across retail and banking.”

Bottom line: The name Nuno Matos refers to at least four unrelated professionals — a banking CEO, a footballer, a chef, and a journalist. For investors and customers of ANZ: the executive is a career banker with no background in sports, cooking, or media. For searchers: verify which Nuno Matos you’re reading about before drawing conclusions.
