Secure and safe

Northern Inland Credit Union is regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Dealing with us is equally as safe as banking with other financial institutions in Australia.

The oversight we receive from APRA has strengthened our already sound business model administered by our Board of Directors and senior management. This puts us in a firm and sustainable position for the future.

As a strongly regulated mutual, Northern Inland is safe and competitive with a full range of products. You can feel secure that your Savings and Investment accounts with Northern Inland are protected with the Government Deposit Guarantee.

Financial Claims Scheme: APRA oversees the Financial Claims Scheme (FCS) which is designed to protect depositor funds up to $250,000 per account holder per institution. As a result of this regulation we are required to provide you with the opportunity to nominate to us details of an alternate account you hold at another financial institution.
