MEMBERS EQUITY BANK

Designed to offer low cost home loans for Australian workers, The Australian Council of trade Unions (ACTU)    backed initiative quickly became an important benefit for the members of participating superannuation funds and affiliated trade unions.  ME Bank is now owned by a number of industry superannuation funds. Profits earned provide a return on investment for these funds and their members.

UNION SHOPPER

Union Shopper is here for members - simple as that.
And they strive to save members as much as they can through sheer buying power. The Union movement in Australia has over 2 million members so when the Union shopper rings a company they bring a lot more bargaining power than you or I individually. It’s just the same principle as a Union in a workplace.
