As a mutual bank, Bank First is owned by its customers and not external shareholders. Each customer owns an equal share of the organisation, and profits are reinvested into the bank and its target communities, rather than external shareholders.[2][3]
The bank was renamed Bank First from Victoria Teachers Mutual Bank in December 2017.
