About us

Heritage Bank has grown from our origins in Toowoomba in 1875 to become one of Australia’s largest customer-owned banks, with branches in Queensland and New South Wales, and a national network of mortgage broker partners.

About us

When you join Heritage Bank, you're not just a number. You become one of our members and can have a voice in how we operate. We're committed to helping our members through good times, and times of hardship. We know that helping our members reach their financial dreams is not just about great products and competitive rates, it's about their entire banking experience. We have branches across Queensland and NSW and our Contact Centre is available 24/7.

How we operate

In March 2023, Heritage Bank entered a new phase in our history, by merging with People’s Choice Credit Union to create Australia’s leading member-owned banking organisation. While we have come together as a single organisation, we will continue to operate under the Heritage Bank and People’s Choice brands for an interim period while we continue our integration process. After that, we will adopt a single new brand, one that reflects our new aspirations, as well as the legacies of both Heritage and People’s Choice. 
We're part of a movement that began in Australia over 150 years ago, when groups of like-minded workers and communities came together to create building societies, credit unions and mutual banks.
Our origins can be traced back to 1875, when the Toowoomba Permanent Building Society was established.

At Heritage, what motivates us isn’t how much profit we can make, it’s about making people’s lives better. Our Member Charter outlines our commitment to our Heritage members.
We support our members with award-winning products and customer service that genuinely puts People first.
Community support

We support our members and their wider communities by making a positive difference through a diverse range of community initiatives, including our widespread Sponsorship program,  Annual Photographic Awards,  Community Branches and the Heritage Bank Charitable Foundation.
