Importantly, you will be able to continue to bank with us in the same ways as you did previously with the same internet banking, same payment services, same direct debits, and the same member numbers. Our wonderful staff will also continue to serve you via our branch network.

Over the next 6-9 months we will be working on integrating our banking systems with IMB. When systems integration is complete, members of Hunter United will then be able to access all IMB bank channels including branches and online services for their Hunter United products. Members will also have access to a wider array of products from IMB including mobile payments such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Android Pay, Garmin Pay, and Fitbit Pay.

We will continue to update you on the integration during the months ahead.
