Bendigo Bank has been named Australia's most trusted bank by research house Roy Morgan, marking the tenth consecutive quarter the bank has received this recognition.

The trust rankings survey, conducted monthly since 2017, polls 2000 Australians and has consistently placed Bendigo Bank at the top of its list.

Not only is Bendigo Bank the most trusted financial institution, it also ranks as one of the most trusted Australian brands across all categories. The bank said this trust is a testament to its commitment to its customers and the hard work of its team.

“This significant recognition reflects Bendigo Bank’s commitment to being bigger and better for our more than 2.5 million customers,” Bendigo Bank CEO, Richard Fennell, said. “This award is testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and to be crowned most trusted again validates our customer-first approach to banking."

Fennell also highlighted the bank's role as a viable alternative to the major banks. “Our customers know Bendigo Bank is bigger for them and their banking needs. Awards like these demonstrate that a genuine and compelling alternative to the major banks is available if you want it,” he stated.
