Internet Banking - NEW videos now available

Voice of Customer - we hear you!
You told us it was hard to make payments using BPay in Internet Banking so we've reworked the language and updated navigation to make it easier to make BPay payments and to view bills and billers.
You told us you wanted the option to request a call back, rather than wait on the phone when you call us. We've re-instated our Assisted Call Back feature.

Message from Bernie
After 14 years, a name change, new CEO, global pandemic, 50th anniversary and a transformation program to bank a new generation, Bernie Lloyd has left the building. In true English teacher style, she didn't leave before penning a special message to Members!
