Auswide Bank

What Auswide Bank does

Auswide Bank is an Australian retail bank founded in 1965 and headquartered in Bundaberg, Queensland, now operating as a division of MyState Bank Limited following the 2024 merger with MyState Limited (ASX: MYS). It serves retail and small-business customers across all Australian states and territories, with primary segments including home loan borrowers, savers, everyday banking customers, and personal/auto loan customers. The product suite spans variable and fixed home loans (Basic Home Loan from 6.09% variable, Variable and Fixed Freedom Packages), personal/car loans, transaction accounts (Everyday Access, Instant Access, Cash Management, Everyday Basic), savings products (Online Saver, Bonus Plus Saver, Ziggy Kids Saver, Term Deposits up to 5.30%), general insurance (Home, Landlord, Motor, Caravan/Trailer), Private Banking, business banking, and Self-Managed Superannuation Fund accounts.

The bank operates a hybrid digital-physical distribution model. Following the merger, back-end operations are being unified on NextGen's ApplyOnline digital platform (announced November 2025) while Auswide maintains its consumer-facing brand. Distribution combines a lending consultant network across ten Queensland regions (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, Gladstone, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns) with digital self-service channels including the Auswide Bank mobile app (iOS and Android), internet banking, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and instant payment rails (Osko, PayID, PayTo, BPAY, RTGS).

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on home loans, personal loans, and deposit products, supplemented by account service fees and transaction fees. The merged MyState group reported H1 2026 underlying NPAT of AUD 28.2 million (up 18.4% year-on-year), with AUD 10.4 million in annualized run-rate synergies from the Auswide combination and an interim dividend increased to AUD 0.12 per share fully franked. The group consolidated to a single banking license under MyState Bank Limited in December 2025. The headcount is 101-250 employees, and the bank holds an Australian ADI license with AFSL 240896.
