Agribusiness is our business
BCU Bank was founded in the 1970’s by a group of small business owners – predominately banana farmers on the NSW North Coast. Since then, we have maintained our strong connection to the region and relationships with primary producers.
We understand that some of the biggest pressures for primary producers come from weather events, seasonal fluctuations, and inflation. That's why our business banking team is here to support you in navigating these often unpredictable and diverse challenges. And our decision-making process, from credit to management, is all local – so we can help keep your farming operation firing on all cylinders.
