Heritage Bank is Australia's largest customer-owned bank, helping Australians reach their financial dreams and enrich their lives since 1875. With no shareholders to please, it supports a diverse range of community events through sponsorship and makes a positive difference in its communities through a diverse range of initiatives.
The bank has a philosophy of putting people first. When some communities were abandoned by their banks in the late 90s, it stepped in with an innovative idea that put those people and their community first. It introduced true community banking by establishing a joint venture with the local community of Crows Nest in 1999. Since then, Heritage has successfully introduced community banking into a further six communities.
Heritage Bank has 23 branches in Brisbane, 8 in Gold Coast, 14 in Darling Downs, 8 in Sunshine Coast, 5 in the Wide Bay Burnett region, plus the Crows Nest and Forest Lake community branches. Aside from visiting these branches, you can also contact the bank by calling its contact centre from Monday through to Saturday or emailing the bank directly.
Heritage Bank offers a range of banking products (accounts, credit cards, international, investment), loans (home, personal, business), and insurance products. In terms of home loans, it offers a wide range of fixed and variable mortgages and charges home loan rates that tend to be below the market average. If you are looking for a home loan provider offering a touch of personal service, competitive pricing and flexible features, this bank may be the right fit for you.
