Social responsibility

We use banking as a force for good.

Social responsibility

We operate under distinctive socially responsible strategies, standards and practices and these apply to all of our banking brands and products, primarily home loans and savings.

  • We are a world-leading socially responsible bank

    Our bank is a force for good. 

    Teachers Mutual Bank Limited is a globally-recognised ethical company with profit-for-purpose as the business model and philosophy. Social responsibility is built-in, not bolted on and drives our business practices, people, and products. 

    We have been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies nine years in a row and are the only bank in Australia to have all wholesale and retail mortgages and deposits certified as responsible by the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA).

    For more than 50 years, ever since we first started, doing business ethically, responsibly and sustainably has been embedded in our business.

    Do good with your money 

    We do not lend to, or invest in, sectors that harm our society or our world, such as fossil fuels or tobacco.

    When money is invested responsibly, it can make a big positive difference to the world. Joining our bank means you can align your money with your values 

    Our members contribute so much to society, we think they deserve a bank that also makes a positive social impact.
