FAQs
  
Is my account safe?
With the recent Optus and Medibank data breaches, we understand that there is growing concern regarding the safety and storage of sensitive information, and can ensure members that these outages are not related to any data breach that has happened in the community, nor are they related to any cyber attack. Australian Mutual Bank remains committed to the protection of our members and continues to apply strict identification processes, two-factor authentication, and other security methods to uphold the trust our members have in using our services and facilities as their preferred financial institution.

Why does this keep happening?
Through a thorough investigation, an underlying technical issue within our internal systems was found to be causing the outages. Our team have been working around the clock to fix and stabilise our IT systems and provide a resolution.

What are you doing to resolve this?
Our IT team and third-party providers continue to work tirelessly to ensure the reliability and accessibility of our services. This includes scheduled maintenance on our technical systems and processes to provide continuous access to our services, as well as make improvements and enhancements to deliver a better experience for our members.
