According to its official website, Defence Bank commenced operations in March 1975 as Defence Force Credit Union Limited (Defcredit) and changed its name to Defence Bank in 2012. It describes itself as one of Australia's larger member-owned banks that reinvests its profits in the bank rather than making profits for shareholders, and says it has the most on-base branches across Australia. Traditionally focused on the Australian Defence Force, it opens membership to all Australians. Its products include everyday transaction accounts, iSaver and Max eSaver savings accounts, term deposits from 1,000 AUD, home loans supported by the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS), personal and car loans, credit cards, insurance through CGU and other providers, and superannuation. Services are provided through branches, the mobile app, online banking and the contact centre. Its address in the ASIC record is in Melbourne. This information is the company's own statement.
