Our history

The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group has a long and proud history.

For more than 165 years, we have actively listened and responded to the needs of our customers and their communities.

Our history began in 1858 on the Bendigo goldfields when we responded to the sudden and rapid wave of migration, establishing the Bendigo Mutual Permanent Land and Building Society to improve conditions for thousands of migrants seeking their fortune.

We are one of Australia's biggest banks, with more than 7,000 employees helping over 2.5 million customers achieve their financial goals.

Our vision is to be Australia's bank of choice, and we believe our success is driven by our purpose - to feed into the prosperity of our customers and communities, not off it.

This history informs who we are today.
