Firefighters Mutual Bank
Tailoring banking to the needs of our markets.
-
A credit union dedicated to Firefighters was the idea of founder, Bob Hall. It was 1968, and everyone was having a tough time getting finance, but Bob’s vision would make life a little easier for his community.
The plan was to create an institution that would put profits back to work for members to reduce loan interest rates and increase interest paid on investment. What began as Fire Board (NSW) Employees Credit Union in the gymnasium at the Sydney Fire Brigade Headquarters has grown into Firefighters Mutual Bank with thousands of members Australia-wide from the fire and emergency services sectors.
Membership
Membership is open to citizens or permanent residents of Australia who are current or retired employees or volunteers in the Australian emergency services sector or are family members of members (i.e. shareholders) of the Bank.
