What is a Credit Union?

A Credit Union is a financial co-operative serving members with a common interest

Credit unions provide:

Personal, home & investment loans
Investment accounts
Business banking
Budgeting sub-accounts
Community fundraising accounts
Superannuation options
Transaction accounts
Agri-banking
ATMs
Internet & phone banking
Access to insurance & wealth creation services

Credit unions like BCU serve to “recycle” money through the local economy – with deposits used to invest in local business and fund loans to local families; creating local jobs and contributing to the sustainability of business and industry in local communities.

We do it with local knowledge, friendly staff and a community conscience

Credit unions:

offer financial services to more than three-and-a-half million Australians
are recognised as Approved Deposit Taking Institutions under the Banking Act
are regulated by the Australian Prudential Authority (APRA)
