Mutual Banking Code of Practice

Mutual Banking Code of Practice - We've signedThe Mutual Banking Code of Practice (MBCOP) is the code of practice for Australia’s credit unions and mutual building societies.

Commencing on 1st July 2009, members of The Broken Hill Community Credit Union Ltd can have the confidence of knowing they are covered by market leading, plain English commitment to fair and responsible banking. The new Code is just another example of the value The Broken Hill Community Credit Union Ltd places on improving the financial wellbeing of its members and community.

Mutual Banking delivers member-focused, competitive retail financial services - outstanding service and fairer fees. The Broken Hill Community Credit Union Ltd exists to serve its members, not simply to drive high profits for external shareholders.

The Mutual Banking Code of Practice is the public expression of our commitment to these fundamental principles - a legal and moral commitment to delivering on our promise to members of our Credit Union.

While global financial markets continue to face upheaval, The Broken Hill Community Credit Union Ltd is well placed to continue delivering for our members. With the big banks increasing their share of the market and the demise of second-tier lenders, The Broken Hill Community Credit Union Ltd is more essential than ever to maintain competition in the market and real choice for consumers.
