What it means to be part of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values
A growing movement for good
We’re an active member of this independent network of banks around the world, all working to support values-based positive change in the banking system. It’s called GABV or the Global Alliance for Banking on Values
What’s GABV’s vision?

Our clean money promise
Using money as a force for good is key to a future where people and the planet thrive. Our clean money approach, underpinned by our responsible banking policy, aligns strongly with GABV’s vision and mission.
For Bank Australia, this means not funding industries that do harm – like fossil fuels, gambling, weapons or live animal exports – and focusing on those that create positive change, like clean energy transition, inclusive and affordable housing and protecting nature.

We need to be profitable, as good stewards of our customers’ money – and as our impact report shows, we’re achieving this – but we can also choose to actively create impact beyond financial returns, for people and the planet.
