Welcome

You’ve made a great choice.

Your guide to People’s Choice Credit Union and how we can make your finances easy.

Having choice in your banking is important, and we think you’ve made the right one. Welcome to People’s Choice.

We’re one of Australia’s largest credit unions with 375,000 members across Australia and branches and advice centres in South Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia.

Our origins date back to 1949 and we’ve grown significantly to become a trusted financial services provider and a genuine alternative to the major banks.

Being member-owned means our customers and owners are the same – our members. Everything we do is designed to benefit our members.

It’s a simple philosophy that says a lot about how we operate – we’re about people, not profit.

So that was a bit about us, and now, we’re all about you.

Welcome to People’s Choice Credit Union!

We’re a credit union.People’s Choice members are part of 4 million Australians who choose to do their banking with an organisation that’s owned by its customers.

We reinvest our profits into creating better products and providing great service and advice, rather than giving returns to shareholders like the Big Four banks. In fact, our sole purpose is to help our members save and borrow money to get ahead in life.

People’s Choice offers some of the most competitive rates in the market while providing you with friendly, professional service.

The benefits of being a member.As a member, you have a share in People’s Choice and a say in how we run our business. You can stand to be a Director, elect office bearers and vote on constitutional changes at our Annual General Meeting.

People’s Choice offers you many other benefits, including:

• Affordable banking through a fairer fee structure

• Competitive interest rates on our home loans, personal loans, credit cards, savings and investment accounts

• Access to thousands of ATMs and EFTPOS outlets around the country

• 24-hour access to your accounts via Internet Banking, Phone Banking and Mobile Banking

• Access to branches and advice centres in South Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia. Selected branches stay open longer for your convenience, including Saturday mornings

• Access to our friendly National Contact Centre staff, who can assist you with a wide range of services and transactions over the phone.

In the community.At People’s Choice we take great pride in supporting the economic and social wellbeing of our members and the community.

This support takes many forms, including:

• Corporate social responsibility partnerships with the Cancer Council SA and HeartKids SA/NT

• Since 1984 The People’s Choice Community Lottery has raised more than $19 million with over 1000 charities, sporting clubs, schools and community groups participating each year around Australia

• Our brand sponsorships include the People’s Choice BASSINGTHEGRASS concert in NT, the Western Bulldogs football club in Victoria and our exciting sponsorship of the Adelaide Strikers

• Local community initiatives at the branch level

We believe building strong communities benefits us all. That’s why we’ve partnered with these fantastic organisations and events, chosen with member and staff input, to help make a real difference in the community.

Banking how you want it, when you want it.It’s your money, so why shouldn’t you be able to access it in as many ways as possible wherever and whenever you need to?

People’s Choice provides you with various ways to access your funds, and our services.

You can also withdraw cash fee-free from the Big Four bank ATMs. However, as this may change, we encourage you to check for any fees when using the ATM before completing a transaction.

Your card is also accepted at any other ATM throughout Australia or through any ATM overseas displaying the ‘Visa’ logo (Visa Debit cards) or ‘Plus’ logo (rediCards), but note that you may incur charges from other financial institutions.

If someone is trying to gain access without your permission:

a. they will be prompted to enter a Secure Code which only registered members have access to, or

b. you will be sent a push notification to ‘Approve’ or ‘Deny’ the transaction if using the Mobile Banking App or VIP Access App for mobile.
