While many of Australia's largest companies and financial institutions are coming to terms with their values and ethics, Credit Unions have a very clear purpose.

Credit Unions agree to promote the principles of Member-owned financial institutions, to make Credit Unions available to all Australians and to meet the financial needs of Members with dignity, honesty and integrity.

"Credit Unions are unique institutions and we are anxious to preserve those characteristics which make us different from banks and other financial institutions", Bruce Williams, CEO of Customs Credit Union* said.

Customs Credit Union is a Member-owned financial institution that is focused on the people they serve. There are no external shareholders to influence the course of our activities. This means that profits are returned to Members in the form of better interest rates, products and services.

Credit Unions have become mainstream players in the provision of retail financial services. Just about any mainstream financial product can be obtained from Customs Credit Union. There are more than three million Credit Union Members in Australia. One in every four adults has a relationship with a Credit Union.
