"We had our own businesses and were treated like second class citizens. So we decided to start our own independent bank that upgraded business to first-class.

While we didn’t have the luxury of being backed by one of the big banks, we gained a whole lot of freedom to do things better. We were two entrepreneurs starting with a blank sheet, to create a completely new approach to products and services for business.

And we were smart enough to know that you can’t do something like this on your own. The brightest and most passionate group of people took a risk and left their big corporate jobs to help us build the best experience possible for business owners.

Now we’re going to exceed the business banking standards, so great Australian businesses no longer have to do things on their own."
