IMB Bank

Established in 1880, IMB Bank is one of the most enduring financial institutions in the country, helping people achieve their financial goals for 140 years. We do this by offering competitive products, practical solutions and, thanks to a dual focus on person to person relationships and digital innovation, superior customer service. In 2020, IMB was recognised as one of the world's best banks by Forbes, based on a global survey of 40,000 banking customers. Our members have access to a fully featured range of banking services: home and personal lending, savings and transaction accounts, term deposits and business banking. Our members enjoy the benefits and convenience of IMB's continued innovation leadership in the banking sector, including convenient digital banking options: Internet Banking, the IMB Mobile App, Osko® real-time payments and a range of mobile wallets. Continuing to refine and build our capability ensures IMB remains one of the country's leading edge banks. IMB is a mutual bank, regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and is a member of the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA), an independent organisation representing mutual banks, building societies and credit unions. We have over 206,000 members and assets over $6.7 billion. IMB has a growing retail branch network throughout NSW: the Illawarra, Sydney, NSW South Coast, the ACT, Melbourne and, thanks to a successful merger with Hunter United Employees' Credit Union in 2020, Newcastle and the Hunter Region. IMB also supports the communities in which we operate. The IMB Bank Community Foundation was established in 1999 and has provided more than $10 million to support over 700 projects.
