The Town & Country Bank, formerly the Town & Country Building Society, was a building society that later became a bank headquartered in Perth and with branches throughout Western Australia.
History
The Town & Country Building Society was founded in 1964 by James McCusker and Bob McKerrow.[1][2]
In July 1990 it was acquired by the ANZ Bank from majority shareholders, the McCusker family and National Mutual.[3][4][5] After being converted to a bank, in 1998 the brand was retired with operations absorbed by the ANZ Bank.[6][7]
