What makes our home loans different
Whether you’re buying your first home or growing your investment portfolio, our loans offer something more than you'll get from a bank - like an interest-free deposit boost or lower deposit requirements for investment properties.
And because we’re member-owned, we focus on providing genuine support and can work harder to help where banks have said no.

Member story
"My son was struggling trying to get a mortgage from the banks. I'd just read something online about First Home Together and suggested it as an option.
Because of the Police Credit Union, he now lives in a nice new home, and it's made a massive difference to himself, his wife and his children."
Why PCU is different
We're owned by our members
We do what's in their best interest, not what will make us the most money.
Not-for-profit
100% of our profits are invested back into the benefits we offer our members.
We go out of our way
We work hard to help make members better off, especially when banks say no.

A credit union for members of the Defence Force and their families.
We’re owned by our members, which means 100% of our profits go back into improving our services and helping every member become better off.
The fine print
Normal lending criteria and a $100 establishment fee applies to all new loans.
A cash contribution is conditional on keeping your home loan with PCU for at least 5 years. Lending criteria, terms, conditions and fees apply to the cash contribution offer.
