Originally established as one of Australia's first building societies, Adelaide Bank has a long history in the financial sector. In 2007, it merged with Bendigo Bank to form the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited (ASX: BEN), one of Australia's largest banks. Today, Adelaide Bank operates as a key national lending brand within the larger group, focusing on providing home loans, term deposits, and other financial services. Its primary business model is centered on intermediary distribution, working closely with a network of mortgage brokers and financial advisers to reach customers across Australia.
