NAB's move follows suit of its peer Westpac (WBC) , which ceased its operations in the region in June.
The office shutdown comes after Finance Sector Union in early September said that the bank was planning to cut 222 back-office jobs.
NAB anticipates the wind down in operations to take about 18 months.
