What's your money supporting?
By banking with us, your money helps create positive impact.
Community housing
We lend to community and social housing projects that provide long term, affordable housing to people at risk of homelessness, or experiencing disadvantage.
Specialist Disability aAccommodation (SDA)
We also lend to SDA, which is accommodation that involves specialist designs, locations or features that make it easier to for people with complex needs to live independently.
We were the first bank in Australia to lend to organisations building Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has introduced SDA funding for people who have high support needs, so we also lend to individuals who want to purchase their own SDA, ensuring it’s an amount they can afford to repay.

Why impact lending for housing is important
Everyone deserves to live in a home that helps them live the life they want to lead, and banks have an important role to play to reduce inequities in the housing market.
We’ve listened to individual and community customers who’ve told us supporting essential housing is an important element of responsible banking.
By providing loans to established, values-aligned organisations that work to increase access to affordable, accessible and green homes, we’re taking action to create a world we and our customers want to see.
How else does our lending create positive impact?
Impact finance is how we contribute to a world where people and the planet thrive – through the people, businesses and projects that we lend to and invest in.
It's rewarding customers for choosing to build or renovate an energy efficient home. It's supporting First Nations businesses, and not-for-profits. It's funding new homes for people living with a disability. It’s backing developers that are building accessible and net zero homes.
