Everything you need to enjoy anywhere, anytime banking is yours - Online Banking, our award-winning app, Australia-based Contact Centre, and Australia’s largest on-base branch network.

You can count on us.

Although we have Australia’s largest on-base branch network, you don’t need a special pass to enjoy face-to-face banking at one of our branches. These days, however, you don’t need to go on base at all because ‘all things’ banking can be done through our award-winning app and Online Banking with the added support of our Australia-based Contact Centre team.

Power of Attorney information.

There are many benefits for the partner of someone in the Defence community to join us. Everyday banking and loan repayments are more streamlined if both of you are on board, and we understand the unique needs of loved ones when it comes to ADF lifestyle events, like training requirements and deployment. With a great range of financial options and knowledgeable, Australia-based support, welcome to Australia’s Defence Bank.

Being a part of this community means we’ve got your back.

Defence people have each other’s backs, making them an incredible source of support and information for partners and loved ones of those who serve. With over 30% of our frontline employees having a direct link to ADF members themselves, you’ll easily find a like-minded someone to speak to, even if it’s simply someone when you call our service centre who just gets it.

From our support of the Defence Community Dogs program for veterans, our affiliation with the Military Wives Network to support those at home, to our strong relationship with the Department of Defence, there’s no shortage of support within the broader Defence community.

For whatever you need, for whatever’s ahead.

As the bank for the Defence community, we offer exclusive products developed specifically for Defence families and the unique lifestyle they find themselves.

As Australia’s Defence Bank we are an approved lender of the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS), which offers special mortgage rebates to Defence families.

All of our products are developed with Defence families in mind, from easy international payments for those on deployment to accounts tailored to the needs of ADF members.

And if your partner has been deployed or is a long-serving member in uniform coming up on a key career milestone, they might be eligible for our high interest-earning Salute account. It’s our way of saying ‘ thank you’.

Frequently asked questions.

Defence Bank offers financial products and services to not only the Australian Defence Force, but the broader community as well. Defence Bank is one of Australia’s larger member-owned banks.

Defence Bank is seeking assistance from members to check and confirm that the information it holds about them is up-to-date, accurate & complete.

By ensuring this information is current, this means that the Bank’s information on its systems remains accurate and therefore then ensures that we have the necessary information to confirm your identity and keep your accounts secure.

If you don’t review your information and provide any updates where required, the information that the Bank holds about you may not be up-to-date and this may limit both our ability to contact you as well correctly confirm your identity on an ongoing basis should you contact us.
