About Judo Bank
Judo Bank is Australia’s first fully licensed challenger bank dedicated to lending to small and medium-sized businesses. Built from the ground up by a small group of deeply experienced and highly credentialed business lending professionals, Judo has brought back old-style, traditional relationship banking – banking as it used to be banking as it should be.

In May this year, Judo completed its third-round capital raise, taking the post-money valuation of the bank to unicorn status at well over $1 billion. Judo’s first and second funding rounds – worth a combined $540 million – equate to the largest amount of private investment raised by an Australian start-up.
