Australia’s banks offer a wide range of financial services to individuals and businesses and play an important role in the economy. Banks in Australia value the communities in which they find themselves and are committed to giving something back to those communities. Every year, community organisations receive millions of dollars of direct support from banks in various forms. The industry also has a strong tradition of free education in financial skills and in 2003 embarked on a major new initiative in financial literacy.
As a major employer in Australia, banks have adopted progressive workplace policies. Staff enjoy excellent pay and flexible workplaces. Banks are vital to the Australian economy, being the third largest contributor to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. By also acting as major players in Asia-Pacific financial markets, our banks help promote Australia in international commerce. The Australian Bankers’ Association has a series of free fact sheets which provide information on the banking industry. By clicking on the links below you can look at the fact sheets online. Each fact sheet is in a printable format and can be downloaded from this website. To order a copy of a fact sheet, simply freecall 1800 009 180 and we will post you a copy.
