When you become a customer, you become an owner

We’re the bank for people who believe in a fair and inclusive society.

We put customers at the centre of the bank, balance purpose and profit, and make decisions that have a positive impact on people, communities and the planet.

What it means to be customer owned

Our customers have a voice and a vote on how the bank is run. And the issues we take action on.

We are committed to customer ownership and to operating in accordance with the international principles for cooperative financial institutions.

Every customer has 1 equal share.

You get voting rights at our Annual General Meetings.

As we’re not listed on the stock exchange, we only answer to you.

Profits are returned to you in the form of competitive rates, fair fees and quality products and services.

We take action on the issues that matter to you, like climate. Our net zero by 2035 target is the most ambitious of any Australian bank.

Every customer is a part-owner of our bank, including the conservation reserve.

You get a say in where we invest your money and which issues we support through our impact fund.

Our annual results are good news for shareholders.
The difference is we call them customers.

We’re a customer-owned bank committed to investing in industries that are doing good in the world.
