CUA

Credit Union Australia commenced operation in 1946 when the executive team saw the potential in offering Australians a more transparent banking portfolio.

Through their early years, they completed a number of successful mergers with similar credit unions. By doing this, they had the opportunity to create the influential banking force Credit Union Australia is today.

Technology in the banking industry

Taking full advantage of the technological progress within the banking industry, they’re able to offer their clients more than just banking services.

This sets them apart from their competition as they have the ability to give their clients the option of dealing with one service provider for the majority of the services they would need. From banking, home loans, debt consolidation loans, general insurance, health insurance, credit cards and personal loans. They’re able to do it all.

They invest in their members when they invest in them

When joining the Credit Union of Australia, you’re not only a customer but you become a shareholder in the business and they can pass on savings to you and others on personal loans, accounts and more. They encourage their customers to also part take in the Annual General Meetings and have their opinions heard.

After all, they need to ensure they’re putting their client’s needs first. There’re many other parts of the business where customer feedback is encouraged and welcomed. This is through taking part in their governance and asking questions regarding the financial statements and management of the institution.

They’re an award-winning institution

Within the last year, they’ve won a number of honorary awards from a variety of organisations within the industry. It’s thanks to their customers and their loyalty, they were able to walk away with the following awards:

• Workplace Gender Equality Agency - Employer of choice
• Money Magazine Awards - Best everyday account and best DIY super savings account
• Mozo People's Choice Awards - customer satisfaction and staff friendliness
• Money Magazine Consumer Finance Awards - Credit union of the year

The benefits of consolidating your debt are endless

Having more than one loan or account to pay can make it challenging to keep track of. By getting a consolidation loan, you no longer have to worry if all your debit orders have come off as you’ll have one payment covering all your debts. This results in you never being charged interest on overdue payments and you can finally improve your credit rating.

The interest rate for each account no longer has to be something to worry about as you only have to look at your consolidation loan amount. By getting this loan, you’ll definitely be able to reduce your debt quicker as you’re bundling all your different debts into one. Your debt and stress-free days will be well on their way as you can also put additional money into this loan to pay it off quickly.

Protect yourself for when those unexpected expenses occur

With any household, sometimes life happens, and there are emergencies which they couldn't prevent. If you’re looking for a way in which you can prepare yourself for those unexpected occurrences, consider opening an overdraft facility added to your bank account - this is the perfect emergency loan.  There are two overdraft options they offer their clients:

#1 Everyday overdraft

This would be beneficial for people who know they’re going to be going into their overdraft facility on a regular basis. Charging a small monthly fee of just $3, this gives you the flexibility you need within your budget.

#2 The just-in-case overdraft

For some, the thought of going into debt might be difficult to deal with. If you’re looking for a backup for your finances for that “just in case moment” then you should consider this option. There’s no monthly fee added to your account, but you will, however, pay a slightly higher interest rate.
