We’re proudly celebrating our 60th Anniversary throughout November, commemorating six decades of dedicated service as a customer-owned financial institution in the Illawarra and South Coast.

It all began in 1964 when a government appointed organiser of Credit Unions visited Wollongong and spoke to employees of the Illawarra County Council about the possibility of forming a Credit Union. They agreed to a formation meeting which occurred on the 20th November 1964.

Since that day Horizon Bank has grown exponentially while remaining the only true South Coast & Illawarra based financial institution. There have been multiple mergers along the way to form what Horizon is today. 
Visit our history page for more information. 

We now proudly have 18,000+ members as well as 10 branches that span the Illawarra & South Coast.

60 years on, we remain committed to providing gold star service to our members through our extensive range of banking products & services.

We thank all our members & staff for the support and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the Illawarra & South Coast for decades to come. 

We invite you to join us in your local branch on 20 November to celebrate with a sweet treat!
