Celebrating our similarities while leveraging our differences

  • Like Qudos Bank, Bank Australia is 100% customer-owned, meaning profits are reinvested back in the form of competitive rates and fair fees as well as uplifting quality products and services for members.
  • We’re both focused on continuing our heritage and legacy, Bank Australia has been a trusted bank for over 67 years, and Qudos Bank for 65 years.
  • Similar to Qudos Bank, Bank Australia has achieved plenty of awards from Finder, Canstar, Money Magazine, Mozo, Product Review and Rate City.
  • Bank Australia is passionate about clean money and has committed to reach net zero emissions by 2035.  
  • With 10 Bank Australia branches across Australia and a Head Office in Collingwood, VIC, this helps strengthen the Qudos Bank branch presence for members across the Eastern coast of Australia.
  • Both banks have similar values and hold the same great community and customer-first ethos.

Qudos Bank Chair Jennifer Dalitz said “We see the proposed merger as an exciting opportunity that would see the two customer-owned banks coming together to do more for members, enabling greater investment in even better products, services, digital banking technology for our customers and creating a positive impact for communities and the environment."

Bank Australia Chair Steve Ferguson said “The proposed merger between Bank Australia and Qudos Bank would provide an opportunity to accelerate the growth of two financially strong customer owned banks. Qudos Bank shares our strong focus on supporting customers and their communities to thrive, so their vision of a sustainable future aligns closely with ours. The growth from a merger would allow us to deliver even greater experiences for our customers, and increase the reach of our purpose driven banking to more Australians.’’

What if I’m already a customer of both Qudos Bank and Bank Australia?

If you’re already a member of both banks, you can continue your day-to-day banking as normal. Both brands will continue under the merged entity with an intention for future review in due course. All members will be informed if and when this review takes place.
