Defence Bank commenced operations in March 1975 as Defence Force Credit Union Limited (Defcredit) before changing its name to Defence Bank in 2012. Today, Defence Bank has 38 branches around Australia.
Unlike many other financial institutions, Defence Bank doesn’t exist to make profits for shareholders. We’re here to focus on your financial needs, rather than being driven to make profits for shareholders. We re-invest our profits back into the Bank to make sure we give you the service and competitive products you deserve.
Defence Bank offers financial products and services to not only the Australian Defence Force, but the broader community as well. Defence Bank is one of Australia’s larger member-owned banks.

High-level security
Defence Bank is at the leading edge of online banking security. As proof of this, an additional second-factor authentication has been introduced. This means, in addition to your normal password, you have a second alpha/numerical password to be entered on a floating keypad.
These security measures and the forced password changes work best when combined with your own firewalls, current virus protection and anti-spyware software. In addition, Defence Bank has introduced Symantec™ Validation & ID Protection (VIP). With VIP, you can enjoy an additional layer of security when transacting on Defence Bank’s Online Banking site.
VIP allows you to use an application downloaded to your mobile phone to generate your secondary password.
Once set up, you continue to log into Defence Bank’s Online Banking using your current member number and passwords. Any secondary passwords required to complete a banking transaction are generated on your mobile’s VIP application. This means you no longer need to remember or reset secondary passwords.
