We are pleased to share an important milestone in our journey with Geelong Bank.
Following an overwhelming show of support from Geelong Bank members, with 96% voting in favour, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has now approved the merger between Hume Bank and Geelong Bank.
This means we are set to officially come together on 1 May 2026 and marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Both Hume Bank and Geelong Bank share a strong heritage as customer owned banks, with deep connections to the communities we serve. By bringing our organisations together, we are creating a stronger foundation, one that allows us to invest more in our members, our people and our regions.
What This Means for Hume Bank Members
Nothing changes to your banking. Your accounts, access, and service remain exactly as they are.
Our focus remains on ensuring a smooth and seamless transition, with no immediate changes to how members bank with us. As we move forward, we will continue to keep members informed every step of the way.
Combined strength
- 60,000+ members
- $2.4 billion+ in assets
- 16 branches across regional Australia
- 200+ staff
This is about building something stronger, together.
We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to welcoming Geelong Bank members to Hume Bank from 1 May.
