The Bendigo Bank merged with the Adelaide Bank in 2007 to create a publicly listed company that is owned by more than 82,000 shareholders. Bendigo Bank is the retail arm of this entity and it provides a range of banking services to individuals and small to medium businesses.
Bendigo Bank began as a building society in the Bendigo goldfields during the Victorian gold rush of the 1850’s. Initially founded to improve conditions in the goldfields, Bendigo Bank operated as a single office mortgage lender and deposit taker for 100 years before its expansion in 1978.
Bendigo Bank offers three credit cards for personal banking - the Bendigo Red, Basic Black and Gold credit cards. All three credit cards offer a wide range of features such as 44 - 55 days interest free on purchases, Bendigo rewards, low interest rates for cash advances and balance transfers and competitive interest rates on all cards.
