Our Industry
Today 4.5 million Australian's bank with a Credit Union or Building Society. Big Sky is proud to be a part of Abacus (the Credit Union and Building Society Industry Body) and shares its philosophy of returning profits to its members, as we exist solely to benefit our members.
There are many compelling reasons to become a member of a Credit Union or Building Society, including better products and services. InfoChoice has estimated Australians cost themselves $2.7 billion in excess mortgage payments because they stick with the big banks and don’t seek out other players. On average, homeowners who take a mortgage out with a credit union or building society are $30,000* better off over the life of the loan.
However, 90% of home loans are still provided by the big four banks because people are unaware of the benefits of Credit Unions and Building Societies.
That’s why 82 Credit Unions and Building Societies in Australia have joined together to create a nation wide campaign: It All Comes Back To You.
The campaign tells the story about what makes Credit Unions and Building Societies a real alternative to banks, and provides a new website: www.comesbacktoyou.com.au where people can find out more information.
Big Sky is committed to providing valuable service to members, including visits to our host employer sites not serviced directly by a Service Centre.
