The story
Beyond Bank has operated under that name since August 2013 when the Community CPS became a mutual bank.
It has evolved through a series of mergers of various credit unions, both before and after the 2013 transition to mutual bank status:
In March 2006, Community CPS Australia Ltd was formed in a merger between the Commonwealth public servants credit unions - CPS Credit Union (SA) Ltd and CPS Credit Union Co-operative (ACT) Ltd.
In November 2008, Western Australian based United Credit Union Ltd and Westax merged with Community CPS and carried on business under the name United Community.
In May 2009 the Polish Community Credit Union also merged with Community CPS.
On 1 January 2010, Hunter Region-based Companion Credit Union (formerly Northern Mineworkers Credit Union) merged with Community CPS.
In June 2011 Wagga Mutual Credit Union, based in the Riverina, merged with Community CPS.
In August 2013 Alliance One Credit Union merged with Community CPS and all previously merged entities were rebranded to create Beyond Bank.
