Bank of us is Australia’s oldest operating customer owned bank. It can trace its roots back to the beginnings of the Launceston Equitable Building and Investment Society. Its current era began with the merging of Equitable Building Society and the Bass Building Society in November 1988. The amalgamation of Tasmania’s oldest building society (Equitable) with the youngest and largest (Bass) to become the Bass and Equitable Building Society created the state’s largest non-bank financial institution with assets of more than $90 million. In November 2001 Bass & Equitable changed its name to B&E. On 1 November 2017, B&E became Bank of us (a trading name of B&E). We hold Bank of us annual reports dating back to 2003 and contemporary governance documents and reports published online.
