We exist for the financial well-being of our members and the sustainability of our communities. We will champion regional pro ... sperity at every endeavour, by helping members achieve their lifestyle goals as well as delivering social and environmental returns to our communities at every possible opportunity. Integrity, respect and fairness are the underlying values that guide our business in our dealings with members, stakeholders and the wider community. We’ve based our values on a mindset that regional Australians share - an appreciation for relationships built on trust and reliability, with an understanding of the significance of community and the feeling of unity and belonging. Whether you live in regional Australia, the ‘big smoke’ or across the world – we’re bringing regional Australian values to you. Our humble beginnings start with New England Staff Credit Union at The University of New England in 1969. Following mergers with Peel Valley Credit Union in 2004, Orana Credit Union in 2008 and Hunter Mutual in 2010, we became New England Mutual, Orana Mutual and Hunter Mutual in the relevant geographical areas, falling under the overarching brand of Community Mutual Group. In 2016 we changed our name to Regional Australia Bank to better reflect who we are, what we do and the commitment we have to the prosperity of the individuals and communities in Regional Australia. read more
