Shared values. Shared success. Stronger together.
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 both 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 to provide improved products and services and 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 celebrated in our local communities.
The Geelong Bank brand will continue to be visible and our Moorabool Street branch and trusted staff remain the same. This proposed merger is about delivering better products and services to our community for generations to come.
