We’ve been for teachers since 1966

Teachers Credit Union was established by teachers, for teachers, back in 1966. Our success was born out of a dream and a vision to give better financial options to teachers and their families. Since then, we've grown from 29 members and $644 in deposits into a Mutual Bank with more than 230,000 Members across Australia and more than $10 billion in assets.

Today, our passion is stronger than ever. We’re still supporting teachers, their families, and the education community with superior banking products and member services.

We are a world leading bank that is a force for good where social responsibility drives everything we do – our people, practises and products.
