Our story

Founded in 2019, Health Professionals Bank was created to give Australia’s health workers a better way to bank.

The idea was simple: if health professionals banked together, they could build something that is better and fairer than the big banks. A bank that benefits health professionals instead of external shareholders.

We’re proudly member-owned. That means we answer to our members – health professionals and their families – not external investors. And it shapes everything we do. That’s why we design our products, policies and support around what health professionals really need.

  • Home loan assessments that take into account your regular overtime, allowances and bonuses.
  • Information on salary sacrificing your home loan repayments which may support in tax savings.
  • Mobile Bankers who meet you at work, at home or over the phone.
  • An Australian-based call centre, staffed by real people who take the time to listen.
  • $0 monthly fees on savings and transaction accounts, so more of your money stays yours.

Health Professionals Bank is part of Teachers Mutual Bank Limited - one of Australia’s largest member-owned banks.

Alongside Teachers Mutual Bank, Australian Mutual Bank, Firefighters Mutual Bank and UniBank, we proudly serve more than 280,000 members across healthcare, education and emergency services.

Putting members first. That's member-owned banking.

Over 4.5 million Australians bank with mutual banks, credit unions and building societies; organisations that reinvest profits into better banking for their customers and their communities.

As one of the largest mutual banks in Australia, we played a part in the development of the Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice, reinforcing our commitment to:

  • the benefits of mutuality
  • community involvement
  • fairer fees and
