Why switch?

People’s Choice is the second largest Credit Union in Australia with over 360,000 members, more than 65 branches, advice centres and more than 3,400 ATM’s Australia-wide as part of the rediATM network.

Being member-owned means our customers are actually our owners and have a direct say in how the business is run. Everything we do is designed to benefit our members and any profits we make are reinvested back into providing better products and services.

People’s Choice also offers some of the most competitive rates in the market in addition to providing you with a friendly, honest and enjoyable experience.
