Company Background
Auswide Bank grew out of the communities of Queensland, Australia’s Wide Bay Burnett region
through a series of mergers of several local building societies.1 It later expanded outside of Queensland
by opening branches in Sydney and Melbourne. In 1994, it listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. In
2015, it converted from a building society to a bank.2

Commenting on Auswide’s mission, Managing Director Martin Barrett said, “We’re taking on the ‘big
banks’ and setting out to redefine what ‘real banking’ means. By opening an account with us or applying
for a loan, our customers will be helping to re-establish a balance in Australian banking which is
currently dominated by the ‘Big 4’ and their subsidiaries. Even though we are smaller, we believe that
we can make a big difference.”3 Auswide’s mission statement – “to demonstrate the ‘power of small’
by placing customers at the centre of everything we do” – reflected this smaller is better mindset.4

As of the fiscal year end June 30, 2020, Auswide had assets of AUD3,789 million, loans and advances
of AUD3,206 million, and deposits and short term borrowings of AUD3,019 million. In fiscal year
2020, the bank generated net interest revenue of AUD70.5 million and net profit after tax of AUD18.5
million. It also paid dividends of AUD13.6 million. See Exhibit 1 for Auswide’s fiscal year 2020
financial statements.
