The visitors were on their way to Brisbane to attend the World Council of Credit Unions Conference.
Maitland Mutual Building Society general manager Geoffrey Seccombe said the Brazilians had been “really keen” to talk to members of a rural, regional Australian financial institution.
Mr Seccombe said the visitors were “slightly surprised” at how compliant the society’s executives were with the new international monetary regulations, coming from Basle in Switzerland, which aimed at ensuring depositors did not lose their money.
“The new rules come in in 2016 and we already comply with them,” Mr Seccombe said.
