ME Bank

The ME (formerly Members Equity Bank) was built and supported by industry super funds. They have been helping everyday Australians get the most out of their money since 1994 – and that’s not changing. To bring lower fees, higher returns and 24/7 banking to the customers, the bank operates digitally so there is no physical branch.
