Other options that may be able to assist you during this time, including:

Strength, Security, Stability
The Mutual Bank takes great pride in not only meeting, but surpassing the strict prudential standards set by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). This has ensured that The Mutual Bank remains in a strong and stable financial position that can provide peace of mind for our members.
The majority of members can also take comfort in knowing that the Federal Government’s Financial Claims Scheme (www.fcs.gov.au) ensures that their deposits are protected by the Banking Act.
The Mutual Bank is continuously monitoring the current situation and will continue to update its members and team as more information becomes available.
