What rights do members have?

Individual applicants will become a member of Australian Mutual Bank. As a member, you’re a customer and equal owner meaning that you’ll have a right to vote at the Annual General Meeting and enjoy the benefits of belonging to a mutual. We’ll open an individual transaction account for you, and you’ll have the ability to receive notices, financial information and statements. You’ll be able to enjoy traditional banking products and services that you’ve have come to expect, whilst keeping up to date with the latest payments advances.

If you’re applying as a joint applicant, each individual applicant becomes a member and is granted all of the membership rights communicated above, including having an individual transaction account opened.

Existing members will remain unchanged in relation to shareholding and communication preference unless advised. If unsure whether you hold a shareholding right, please contact us on 13 61 91 and select option 4.
