Judo Bank

We know that a healthy and thriving team is an investment in all of Judo. Given our commitment to the wellbeing of our team members, Judo is thrilled to launch a partnership with CU Health – a virtual health and wellbeing medical practice, allowing our team to access video appointments with personalised GPs, psychologists, dieticians and health coaches. Judo’s Chief People and Culture Officer, Jess Lantieri, commented, “As our business and our team grows, we’re always looking for new ways to enhance the support for team members, that goes beyond the traditional workplace offerings. Our new partnership with CU Health ensures our team has dedicated and direct contact with a variety of health resources, as and when they need it. CU Health thinks differently about how we can support our team members to thrive both inside and outside of work – and thinking differently is what we love at Judo!”

That's why we've launched the Judo Growth Academy! Partnering with the highly experienced team at Visage Growth Partners, a group of our Victorian customers came together to kick off the first of four workshops supporting our fantastic customers to unlock untapped potential within their businesses. The energy was high, discussion vibrant, and ideas flowing! Boldly backing business in new and exciting ways it what we're passionate about, and this is just the beginning — three more workshops to go! #judogrowthacademy #boldlybackingbusiness #businessbanking

What a milestone to celebrate! The end of another great financial year for Judo Bank was an extra special one this time around, as it coincided with the fifth anniversary of obtaining our banking licence. To mark the occasion we went back to where it all began. Higher Ground, a valued Judo Bank customer was where we marked the occasion 5 years ago so it was only fitting we returned with lots of new faces, as well as plenty who have been on the journey since then, and celebrated again. We are grateful for all of our amazing customers, partners and staff who have helped build and shape our bank and look forward to many more celebrations ahead. #boldlybackingbusiness

We know small and medium business owners are the learners, the self-starters and the visionaries. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Business For Doctors (BFD) who focus on educating and empowering doctors on all things business and finance. At the recent flagship BFD24 Annual Conference, our relationship bankers provided attendees with unique perspectives on starting a new practice, structuring their finance for long-term success, and what to look for when purchasing an existing practice. We know that providing support to doctors throughout their business journey leads to innovation in the medical field and improved standards of patient care and overall community wellbeing. Thanks to the BFD team for having us! It was an inspiring event and an honour to be a part of. #boldlybackingbusiness #businessbanking
