Real Support for Real Homeowners: A Regional Bank Making a Difference Where It Counts

Where It Counts

In a time where rising costs and uncertainty define the housing conversation, Regional Australia Bank is backing the people who call regional NSW home, not with slogans, but with something tangible.

As part of its ongoing commitment to regional prosperity, the customer-owned bank has launched a $2,000 Cashback Home Loan Offer, available to eligible new and refinancing home loan customers.

For thousands of families across the New England region, it’s a small shift that can make a big moment in buying a home a little easier.

A Bank That Belongs to the Regions

Unlike the big banks, Regional Australia Bank doesn’t answer to shareholders. Instead, it’s owned by its members, over 100,000 regional Australians who have chosen to bank with an institution that puts people first.

That mutual ownership model allows the bank to reinvest heavily into the towns and communities it serves. In the past year, over $2.79 million was returned to regional organisations through its Community Partnership Program — with more than $696,000 directed to the New England region alone.

Beneficiaries included groups like Lions Club of Moree, Glen Innes Hospital Auxiliary, and Can Assist Armidale, just to name a few.

“Supporting the regions isn’t a side project, it’s the reason we exist,” says David Heine, CEO of Regional Australia Bank. “Our members don’t just live in regional communities. They are the community.”

A Home Loan Offer That Gives Back

Regional Australia Bank’s latest home loan initiative is designed to ease the cost of home ownership when it matters most, offering $2,000 cashback for eligible loans¹.

Whether you’re buying your first home or refinancing to secure a better deal, the offer is simple, transparent, and built with regional Australians in mind.

Why Regional Matters

The bank’s purpose-led strategy isn’t just about charitable giving, it’s about ensuring regional Australians don’t have to compromise on the quality of financial services or support.

From partnering with local sporting organisations to assisting healthcare providers and schools, Regional Australia Bank sees its role not just as a lender, but as a long-term partner in regional progress.

In the New England region and beyond, RAB’s community footprint is real and growing.
