We are delighted to announce Geelong Bank’s proposed merger with Hume Bank – a unique opportunity to bring together two proud customer-owned banks with shared values and deep regional roots.

Combining the two banks will create one of the largest regional customer owned banks with $2.5b in assets, a network of 16 branches, over 60,000 customers and around 200 staff.

The proposed merger will be built on a shared philosophy and respect for legacy to provide improved products and services through enhanced strength and sustainability. All with the aim of delivering increased value and support for customers and communities in our fast-growing regions.

What this means for our members:

Both banks have long-standing heritage and strong brands that will continue to be preserved and celebrated in their local communities.

Your accounts, branches, and services remain unchanged and you will see the same trusted staff in your local branch.
