Dnister is a member-owned Approved Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) committed to serving our members’ financial needs while upholding industry best practices as part of the Customer Owned Banking Association.
With longstanding ties to the Ukrainian-Australian and Latvian-Australian communities, Dnister plays a vital role in fostering both financial security and cultural connection. Unlike major banks, Dnister exists solely to serve our members—delivering meaningful value, personalised service, and trusted support.
Looking ahead, Dnister is investing in improved products, digital innovation, and enhanced services to offer a simpler, more modern banking experience—while preserving the strong relationships, heritage, and member-first philosophy that has always defined our purpose.
In this issue of Dnister’s newsletter, we reflect on the strength and spirit of our community, which continues to be the driving force behind everything we do. We’re excited to welcome our new CEO, Ashley Hood, whose leadership marks an exciting new chapter for Dnister. We also take a moment to recognise the unwavering dedication and resilience of our team, who have gone above and beyond during challenging times. This issue celebrates our recent growth and strong performance, a testament to our shared commitment to excellence. As we look forward, we honour our rich traditions and key milestones, which continue to shape our identity. At the heart of it all is our community—a constant source of inspiration and purpose in everything we do.
