People’s Choice dates back to 1949 and is now one of Australia’s largest credit unions. Formerly People's Choice Credit Union, the organisation was created through the merger of Australian Central and Savings & Loans in December 2009. Member-owned, its customers get a say in how the credit union is run. People’s Choice meets the same regulatory standards as banks and provides a wide range of financial products and services, including home loans, business accounts, and savings and investment products as well as financial advice.
