An ASX-listed regional bank based in Bundaberg with 17 branches across Queensland, Auswide Bank has operated for more than 55 years with assets under management of more than $4 billion.

Auswide Bank has an Australia-wide lending presence supported through branches, business bankers, accredited mortgage brokers and online, and offers an extensive range of finance and banking products to help their customers realise their financial dreams.

Auswide Bank Managing Director Martin Barrett said the partnership announced today strengthens an already proven relationship, with Indue to provide end-to-end payment services that will support the bank’s digital transformation, provide a state-of-the-art customer experience and business outcomes.

“Auswide Bank has worked with Indue for 6 years and the extension of agreement is another exciting step in our relationship,” Mr Barrett said.
