In 1972, a group of 48 teachers took the bold step to create a ‘People’s Bank’.

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, it is still a ‘People’s Bank’ – one for teachers, nurses and allied health professionals – the people who care.

Like all Australian banks, we are required to meet all the regulatory requirements and deposits are guaranteed by the Australian government under the Financial Claims Scheme.

Being customer-owned allows us to work hard for our customers (we call them Members) - tailoring products and services to help them be all that they are and more. When Members speak, we listen and act. 

We actively invest to support your community. From funding your teaching initiatives, to scholarships and awards for aspiring teachers, nurses and allied health professionals and those who need that extra little help. We've invested more than $1.5 million since 1983. 

Checked my account today ... the bonus interest has been paid into my account. It's such a help
