Corporate Governance
We believe that good corporate governance provides the foundation for a high-performing organisation, and by embedding good practices, we’ll preserve and strengthen stakeholder confidence and long-term value.
Sustainability of our customers
Throughout the pandemic, we developed and implemented customer hardship policies and we’re now working on new ways to support our customers to be more sustainable and resilient, now and into the future.
Financial Inclusion
All SMEs deserve to have access to financial services to help grow their business. We believe that we can help provide more financial inclusion in Australia through, and to, our SME community.
Join us for a greener future
As a more sustainable bank, we’re determined to do our part to fight climate change and protect the environment. To reach net zero, we’re working towards a one third reduction target in our carbon emissions by 2030 and committing to offset our emissions annually.
Making Lives Better
We believe that if we’re not making people’s lives better, we’re just making tech. So we use not only technology and artificial intelligence but also empathy and understanding to build personalized financial tools — including digital banking, cash advances, automated investing, credit building loans, budgeting and financial tracking and rewards. And it’s all accessible in our mobile banking website .
For Everyday Life
We designed our investment plans to be a financial toolkit for everyday life. You choose the tools you need, when you need them — and they complement the financial accounts you already have. We’ll help you decide what’s right for you, but the choice is always yours. Our investment plans offer low or no fees, and few barriers to entry. Accessibility is what we’re all about. There are no credit checks for cash advances and credit builder loans. Everyone is welcome.

Personal Term Deposit
Term deposit investments usually carry short-term maturities ranging from one month to a few years and will have varying levels of required minimum deposits. The interest earned on a term deposit account is slightly higher than that paid on standard savings or interest-bearing checking accounts.
The increased rate is because access to the money is limited for the timeframe of the term deposit.
Term deposits are an extremely safe investment and are therefore very appealing to conservative, low-risk investors. The financial instruments are sold by banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions. Term deposits and other programs offered by UB are insured.
