Community Partnerships Program.

Defence Bank, our life-long bond with the Defence Community.

We've been serving the Australian Defence Force and the wider defence community since 1975. We understand how important it is for ADF members, veterans and their families to have the support of their local community, and our Community Partnerships Program is here to help strengthen this connection.

By banking with us, we will give a financial benefit back to <<PARTNER NAME>>.

We will provide up to $1,000* to the community organisation when you switch your owner occupier or investment home loan to us from another lender or take out a new home loan with us.

This means that on a home loan amount of $500,000, up to $500 will be given to the community organisation to reinvest.

How the program works.

  • Get a new home loan or switch your home loan to us from another lender of $100,000 or more, whether it’s for your home or investment property.
  • We’ll calculate 0.10% of your loan amount with a maximum of $1,000 per referral.
  • The community organisation will receive this amount upon settlement.
