When Beyond Bank merged with AWA Alliance Bank in 2024, we were delighted to continue our support of Geelong United Basketball (GUB) as a major corporate partner, as part of our commitment to the local Geelong community where we provide banking services. 

Through Beyond Bank’s Community Development Program, the partnership has supported GUB to foster grassroots participation, youth development and community engagement across the region. 

The dynamic partnership between Beyond Bank and GUB demonstrates our shared commitment to empowering the local community through sport, inclusion and opportunity.  

GUB and Beyond Bank also have a unique partnership model where GUB supporters can link their banking to help GUB fundraise, at no cost to them. This allows Beyond Bank, GUB and its supporters to leverage the financial benefits from this collective effort, with the goal of improving the financial wellbeing for all parties involved and their wider community. 

We’re proud that we can work together to help build a stronger, healthier and more connected Geelong, on and off the court.
