About Business Solutions

The Business Solutions difference

Newcastle Permanent offers a genuine alternative to the major banks for your business banking and finance needs. As a mutual building society, we're not owned by shareholders - we are owned by our members. This means we don't pay dividends and instead focus on returning benefits and value to our business customers through low lending rates and fees.

Personalised service

At Newcastle Permanent Business Solutions we deliver professional services with a personal touch.

Our Relationship Managers have a wealth of experience in financial service and commercial business management. They have been on the other side of a bank manager's desk so they understand the type of service you need and expect.

We have the largest branch network in the Hunter Region. Branches are open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday and 9 am to 12 noon on Saturdays* and all are able to provide Business Solutions services.

Convenience and choice are also key considerations for business operators - whether you would like to do your banking online, at a branch or prefer a Relationship Manager to visit you at a convenient location.
