AUSTRALIA’s most trusted bank has been announced as Bendigo Bank for the twelfth consecutive quarter in the latest nationwide Most Trusted and Distrusted Brands poll by Roy Morgan.<\/p>\n
The bank also ranked thirteenth most trusted brand across all categories, behind the top five – Bunnings, ALDI, Kmart, Apple and Toyota.<\/p>\n
The top five most distrusted brands across all categories were Woolworths and Coles, Optus, Facebook\/Meta and Qantas.<\/p>\n
The poll is based on a comparison of 1000 brands across 20 categories ranked by customer trust from a survey of 60,000 Australians.<\/p>\n
Bendigo Bank’s chief marketing officer Sarah Bateson said the high levels of trust reflect the company’s customer-focus.<\/p>\n
“This ranking speaks volumes about our customer-first approach to banking as we strive every day to make fans of our 2.7 million customers,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We sincerely thank our customers and communities for the trust they place in us.<\/p>\n
“Our Most Trusted title aligns with our consistently high net promoter score, which remains well above the industry average.<\/p>\n
“We are a genuine and credible competitor to any bank in Australia, with customers attracted by our quality products, services and brands.”<\/p>\n
The news comes off the back of the bank announcing a net profit after tax of $216.8 million for the six months ended 31 December 2024.<\/p>\n
Operating expenses grew by 5 per cent, impacted by increased investment spend, while customer deposits grew by 5.4 per cent over the half and total lending grew by 3.4 per cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
