4 reasons to refinance with Bank Australia

1. Your mortgage could be supporting industries that harm people and the planet

Have you asked your bank what industries they lend to and invest in?  If the answer includes fossil fuels, weapons, tobacco or gambling, it is likely that the interest you are paying on your mortgage is supporting these industries. To find out how much your bank invests in fossil fuels check out Market Forces’ comparison table.

2. Divestment makes a significant difference

People from all walks and stages of life across Australia are already ditching plastic bags for canvas, and takeaway cups for KeepCups. But have you thought about the power of your home loan in creating positive social and environmental change? If more people move their home loan to banks that don’t fund harmful industries such as the fossil fuel industry, we’ll be able to create a safe and sustainable climate future for our local communities, Australia and the rest of the world. Bank Australia has never and will never lend to the fossil fuel industry.
