The Randstad Banking & Financial Services Market and Salary Intelligence Report provides a comprehensive overview of the Australian financial sector in 2025. The industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological innovation, regulatory reform, and shifting workforce dynamics across six key areas: wealth management, insurance, corporate and business banking, home lending, financial crime and AML, risk and compliance, and banking operations.
As economic and technological shifts accelerate, professionals in the sector are placing greater value on job security and competitive base salaries, particularly in roles impacted by automation and consolidation. Employers are facing mounting pressure to attract and retain high-calibre talent in a market where hybrid skills and adaptability are in high demand. To remain competitive, organisations must craft compensation strategies that reflect current market realities while aligning with the evolving expectations of a digitally focused and compliance-driven workforce.
