At Judo, we think outside the bank
We're not your average bank. Judo was built from the ground up, with one purpose: to be the most trusted Small Medium Enterprise (SME) business bank in Australia.
We made sure to cultivate a space where bureaucracy is left at the door - where our customers come first with relationships at the core of what we do. We aspire to think differently, inviting new ideas, and creating a space where everyone feels like they belong because we know that it's our unique differences that make us collectively stronger.
Visit our LinkedIn Life page to learn more about how we think differently and challenge the status quo to give SMEs a fairer go when it comes to banking.

Be a part of building it
No legacy, no limit – our team is empowered to think big and challenge bureaucracy to embed an owner’s mindset.
Building a bank from the ground up is a hands-on job! To get great work done, and get it done fast, we minimise roadblocks and work with a flat structure. Less hurdles means more action. We’re proud to think differently which means our people trust their gut, own their decisions and share new ideas every day.
Supporting your best self
We know how you start plays an enormous part on how you integrate into the team. Our onboarding program – Judo Engagement Month, ensures that our new starters get the space and time to immerse themselves in our culture and get to know Judo.
Our diverse leave options are designed to reflect the diversity in our teams. From our additional two weeks leave, Big Life Event leave, public holiday swap to flexible parental leave – we aim to support team members at whatever stage they are at.
