A bid to raise awareness of the market dominance of the big four banks was launched in Newcastle today.
Organised by Abacus, the industry body for credit unions and building societies, the national campaign is pushing for an independent inquiry into competition in the banking sector.
“Local customer owned institutions have a big role to play in local communities like Newcastle and we have to make sure we get a fair go in taking it up to the big four.” said Mark Degotardi, Campaign Spokesman
The campaign bus will travel to Port Macquarie, followed by Coffs Harbour, Lismore and Armidale.
