Why bank with us?
We were founded by a group of teachers, disenchanted with the inequitable access to banking services back in 1972.
They pooled their individual contribution of $10 into a shoe box and we were born. Our first loan was made to a single mother to cover her rental bond for her family.
Today, we remain a customer owned bank. One for today and tomorrow’s teachers, nurses and allied health professionals – the people who care.
Customer owned
We’re 100% customer owned, which means we listen to your feedback – and act on it.
Financial wellbeing
We provide resources that aim to financially empower teachers and nurses – we genuinely care.
Community impact
We contribute ~$220K per year to health and education communities through donations, scholarships and awards.
We're here to help
