Commenting on the results Martin Barrett said, " our continued focus on strengthening the business is sustaining improving operating performance and organic growth.
We also made significant step changes in our re-positioning of Auswide Bank with the recommended merger with Your Credit Union as a platform to expand our south-east Queensland presence and the equity stake in peer to peer lender, Money Place."
