Service & Lending Fee Changes

Service & lending fee changes

While we’re now a bigger and better credit union as a result of the merger, we remain focused on providing our members with outstanding value.

In all, ten fees are being removed or abolished for Australian Central members and 16 for Savings & Loans members.

All the changes for Australian Central members effective 1 September are listed below. Members will also receive details of the fee changes with their June statements.

If you have any questions about the changes to our fees, see our Frequently Asked Questions section.
