Bank Australia Personal Loans

As Australia’s first customer owned bank, Bank Australia (formerly known as bankmecu) has been working closely with the community since 1957. With every one of its 125,000 personal customers a shareholder, this cooperative business works with the same standards as a bank, but with greater levels of customer service.

Any profits made by Bank Australia are invested back into the bank and not paid to shareholders like high-street lending institutions. This means it can offer products that have low rates and low fees. No matter what you need, Bank Australia might offer a personal loan that fits your situation.
