JUDO BANK

Judo is a specialist, purpose-built relationship business where experience, knowledge, judgment, and integrity critical qualities underpinning success. Judo believes that there is a place in the specialist segments of the SME market for old-fashioned practical banking, enabled by the latest technology. Small to medium-sized businesses are the engine room of Australia, producing over half of the nation’s value-added and accounting for seven out of every 10 jobs in the private sector. Despite ... their critical importance to the economy, some SME businesses aren’t getting the support they deserve. The Judo team, with experience at the highest levels of some of the world’s largest banks, saw an opportunity to do better. Their name comes from ‘Judo Strategy,’ the art of defeating larger opponents. They're smaller and more nimble, so they can adapt their stance to best address business challenges. The customers deal directly with decision-makers who are empowered to judge each application on its merits, rather than relying on complex processes and evaluation metrics that ignore the reality of business itself. Customers don’t just get a call center number; they get direct, regular contact with their own relationship manager who will get to know their business inside and out and be well equipped to tailor-make financial solutions that match their needs, rather than a one size fits all approach. At Judo, they always put relationships first, they’re at the heart of everything they do, it’s what their business is built on.More
