Member-owned credit union bcu delivered a strong result for the 2019 financial year

In an environment that has faced significant political and economic challenges bcu is pleased to announce a net profit after tax of $10.53m in its group financial statements. This is consistent with its prior year result.

bcu Chief Executive Officer, Alan Butler said “It gives me great pride to announce these results today. These successful financial results are a tribute to the hard work and passionate efforts of all our staff who have all individually contributed over the last 12 months along with the ongoing support of our strong and loyal member base”.

“Management have been able to deliver these results through tactical initiatives, however the long-term strategy continues to be to gain scale through the proposed merger with west-coast based mutual, P&N Bank.”

Mr Butler acknowledged that “results like this whilst great, would be difficult to sustain for a standalone institution of our size due to the ever increasing cost of regulation, plus the significant investment that will be required in bcu’s technology to allow us to continue to offer attractive banking products”.

Voting for the proposed merger with P&N Bank commenced this week. For more information, members can speak with their local bcu store team, call bcu on 1300 228 228 or visit www.bcu.com.au/vote
