Change your bank. Change the world.

We believe in a world where future generations are able to focus on their wellbeing, health and their contribution to the community. Where the air is clean, the landscape is green and everyone is working together to make the most of resources like food and energy.

In this world, extreme weather events don’t destroy homes and communities, like so many are currently experiencing under the escalating impacts of climate change

We still have time to turn this climate story around, but not for long. We need to reduce the level of carbon in the atmosphere, as quickly as possible. 

Between 2016-2022 some of the most well-known banks in Australia have loaned $57.5 billion to the fossil fuel industry. This brings us further and further away from our global community’s urgently needed emissions reduction target.

“I suspect that the key to disrupting the flow of carbon into the atmosphere may lie in disrupting the flow of money to coal and oil and gas.  Financial institutions can break the power of the fossil-fuel companies.”

Bill McKibben, Author, environmentalist, activist, and leader of 350.org

We’re customer-owned, which means you get to choose what we invest in

As a customer-owned bank, we answer to you. Our customers have a voice and a vote on how the bank is run and the issues we take action on.

Our responsible banking policy is at the heart of everything we do at Bank Australia. It’s clear that climate change is the top concern for our customers, which means our investments reflect this.

‍

Together, we’re funding the solutions. Not the problems.

Banks use customer deposits and interest payments for loans and investments. These can go to industries that do good or those that do harm. Where you choose to bank has a ripple effect. Learn more about our responsible banking policy.
