This year, AREEA is pleased to welcome Big Sky as a new platinum associate member. Big Sky’s partnership with AREEA represents a logical linking of two entities with long histories in the resources industry.
BIG SKY has supported the resources sector for 42 years; as Australia’s premier resource based credit union, providing a range of financial products and services to the employees and families of some well known resources companies and many suppliers to the mining industry.
Today, Big Sky’s 80-plus staff serve over 31,000 customers at 13 locations across Australia, encompassing the remote communities of Hedland and Newman in the Pilbara, Moranbah in the Bowen Basin and the Olympic Dam township of Roxby Downs as well as industrial sites such as BP’s Kwinana refinery (WA), Blue Scope Steel’s Western Port (Vic) operation and CBD locations in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Big Sky’s service centre network is complemented by an interactive website offering customers a secure and feature-rich internet banking solution. In addition its Melbourne-based call centre answers around 100,000 customer queries annually.
With $0.9b funds under management across banking and advice – Big Sky remains committed to its mutual roots and remains customer and community focused. Big Sky is an Approved Deposit Taking Institution (ADI) supervised by the Australian Prudential and Regulatory Authority (APRA) and operates under the same regulatory framework as the major banks and, as such enjoys the Federal Government Deposit Guarantee for customer deposits up to $250,000.
Big Sky’s advice, banking and insurance platforms have been designed to meet the ever changing needs of customers across all life stages.
Big Sky has welcomed the opportunity to partner with AREEA to further service the needs of resource industry organisations, their employees and contractors and will work closely with senior management within these firms to deliver appropriate and competitive banking, advice and insurance solutions.
