Beyond Bank Australia

Beyond Bank is a customer-owned bank in Australia. It is owned by its members, not by shareholders or an outside company. It offers everyday banking, including savings accounts like the Purple Transactor Account. It also offers home loans, personal and car loans, business loans, and insurance for cars, homes, travel, and rental properties. Beyond Bank is based in Adelaide, Australia.

Beyond Bank formed more than 65 years ago, growing from credit union mergers that began in 2006. It took its current name in 2013. It is 100% owned by its 280,000 members, not by outside shareholders. The bank runs more than 50 branches and employs about 650 people, supporting more than 6,000 community groups. For someone choosing where to work, that ownership model means profits stay with customers and communities, not outside investors.¹
