01Why Meridian

The difference is what we leave out.

No junk fees

We are not-for-profit, so we are not hunting for fees. What you see is what you pay.

Plain language

Every account and rate is explained in words a human can understand, in advance.

Owned by members

Our profits come back to you as better rates, not out to shareholders.

04Our story

Built to be the calm in your finances.

Meridian was founded in 1971 on a simple idea: banking should be clear, fair, and quietly dependable. Fifty years on, we still answer to our members and no one else.

That is why our statements are readable, our rates are honest, and our people pick up the phone.
