Sustainable Business Practices
Sustainable Business Practices

Sustainability is integrated throughout our business and embedded in our policies, procedures and practices. Strong governance and ethics are the fundamental foundations to our sound business practices and ensure that as a business we are here for the long-term.
Members
Members

We put you first. Making our members happy is our number one goal. As a mutual bank, our members are our shareholders.

Therefore it is imperative that we engage with our members, ensure member inclusion and aim to achieve the highest level of member satisfaction and member value that we can.

We are passionate about education, so we invest in a diverse range of activities for teachers, and our communities, to help them flourish.

We believe our employees are our most valuable resource and strive to create an engaged workforce by having fair and equitable policies in place that enhance the working environment. Recognising and respecting the rights of our employees is a fundamental part of our work ethic.

As a financial services organisation with a remote service model and mainly online bank, our direct environmental impacts are relatively low in relation to other sectors. However, we believe we still have a responsibility to use resources wisely in order not to affect the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Contacts Program

Our Contacts program is an important part of helping colleagues connect with each other and with us.

Contacts, who are our voluntary representatives in schools and TAFEs:

assist colleagues with information on how they can join
make our newsletters available in a common place for everyone to read
arrange visits by our team of Business Development Officers (BDOs), as required by staff.

We keep in touch with Contacts and staff through a quarterly newsletter, called Contact. So if your school has organised a fundraiser, helped your students win an award or even started a veggie patch, we’d love to include it in Contact newsletter. You can contact us, and photos are a bonus.

You might also see us…

reaching out to our regional members, through Mobile Offices and Business Centres, where staff set up shop in a function room, bringing many of our products and services with them.

We also have a team of dedicated mobile lenders who can help out with a home loan. They service some parts of NSW, ACT and Perth. Find your local mobile lender and invite them to your school.

Financial information is also brought to members, through Investment Seminars hosted by Bridges.
