Three reasons to make the switch
Joining a local and customer-owned bank like Summerland has never been easier, nor more important. Because in a world that seems to be increasingly focused on helping yourself, we will never stop helping others, and supporting our local community.
Banking the way it should be
With branches throughout the Northern Rivers NSW and South East Queensland, we offer good old-fashioned customer service with all the bells and whistles of a modern bank.
Quick and easy to get started
Whether it’s your first-ever account or you’re looking for a fresh start away from the ‘bigger guys’, we can get you up and running in minutes – online, contact us, or in a local branch.
Better for you and the planet
Going beyond traditional definitions of sustainability, we prioritise growth that is ethical, responsible and doesn’t cost the earth, while delivering value for our customers.
Easy steps to make the switch.
Here’s how you can make the switch once you’ve opened a new Summerland account.
Become a new customer
Update regular payments
Update regular debit or credit payments into your new account. We can help with this by completing the Switch pack form and sending it back to us and we’ll take care of this for you.
Close your old accounts
Once everything has switched over, it’s time to close your accounts. We can organise this for you, or you might prefer to do this yourself.
Enjoy free monthly fee
Take advantage of the monthly fee waiver by switching your pay over to Summerland or credit $2,000 a month into your account.
