We started in 1957 as the CSIRO Co-operative Credit Society and have grown and evolved, joining together 72 credit unions and co-operatives to become Australia’s first customer-owned bank. We changed our name to Bank Australia in 2015.
We are owned by our customers, which means we don’t answer to shareholders. Our profits are returned to customers through better rates and fees and our investments are used to create positive social and environmental change.
We have 16 branches located across Australia, full online and mobile app banking and you can use any big four bank ATM for free.
We are committed to keeping jobs in Australia and our contact centre is located in regional Victoria.
By becoming a customer with us you will also have access to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Android Pay.
Additionally your money is guaranteed by the Federal Government, exactly the same as the big four banks.
