Celebrating our similarities while leveraging our differences
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.’’
