Auswide Bank home loans

Auswide Bank (formerly Wide Bay Australia) was created in 1966 as Queensland-based building society, later becoming a bank. It was started with the aim of challenging the big four banks by providing low-deposit home loans.

In recent years Auswide Bank has gone on to offer an extensive range of personal finance and banking products to help everyday Australians achieve their goals and build their wealth.

As the name would suggest, Auswide Bank is widely accessible with branches and ATMs across the country. Before its relaunch, Auswide Bank was named by the People’s Choice Awards as “Best Building Society” in 2014.
