Police Bank is a mutual bank servicing the wider police community. Police Bank was established by a group of serving police officers in the early 1960s as NSW Police Credit Union. By 1988, membership had grown to over 25,000 members and Police Bank began to expand their branch network. In 2012, members voted for the credit union to become a bank. Police Bank is now one of the largest mutual banks in Australia.

About Police Bank credit cards
Police Bank offers classic and low-rate credit cards to their members. As a mutual bank, it provides fewer credit card options than traditional banks but creates value for customers through lower rates and fees.
Police Bank does not offer frequent flyer, rewards, platinum or gold credit cards.
Because Police Bank is owned by its members rather than by shareholders, it is able to offer interest rates on the lower end of the market. Police Bank credit card rates are moderately low and include a moderate number of interest-free days.
Like its credit card rates, Police Bank’s fees are generally reasonable. Customers are charged a low late payment fee as well as a low annual fee, which is waived in the first year.
Police Bank also offers an introductory balance transfer deal that allows customers to transfer existing debt to their new account without interest for 12 months.
