Company Overview
There’s everyday life. Then there’s a life in defence. We’re the bank that understands this.
Defence Bank offers everyday banking products and services to the Australian Defence Force and the broader defence industry community. Defence Bank is one of Australia’s larger member-owned banks and commenced operations in March 1975 as Defence Force Credit Union Limited (Defcredit) before changing its name to Defence Bank in 2012.
Unlike many other financial institutions, Defence Bank doesn’t exist to make profits for shareholders. We’re here to focus on your financial needs, rather than being driven to make profits for shareholders. We re-invest our profits back into the Bank to make sure we give you the service and competitive products you deserve.
