You are required to become a member of our credit union before opening a BCU savings or investment account or before you borrow money. Membership is open to the general public and you are entitled to lifelong membership as long as you are a resident of Australia and have an active account with us.

Adult members purchase one $10 redeemable preference share in BCU, which entitles them to the full range of products and services.

Junior members, those under 18, purchase one $10 redeemable preference share, but only pay $2, which entitles them to access to basic products and services.

You should only apply for an account if you have read all parts of the PDS.
