If you're 17 or older, an ADF recruit and haven't been a member of Defence Bank in the past, here's what you need to do:
- Visit the Defence Bank branch at 190 Philip Road where our friendly staff will help you open an account.

See the full terms and conditions.
That's all you need to do. But we're good for more than just free money! You might be surprised at what else we can offer you...
A unique bank, for a unique life.
We understand that no two days are the same in the ADF, especially not in the Navy.
One day, you're settling into life ashore; the next, you're packing up and standing watch at sea. Some days, you're sharing a meal with mates at your home port, next minute, you're sharing a bunk on an attack-class submarine.
Life in the Navy is unlike any other. That's why you need a bank as unique as you are. We're the bank that gets it.
Everything you need.
