At People First Bank we are committed to supporting Australia’s reconciliation journey which we believe is fundamental to achieving respect for, celebrating, and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Not only does this RAP signal our commitment to reconciliation by taking measurable and accountable action, but our journey also to get to this point shows a holistic approach to creating meaningful and sustainable relationships with our First Nations customers, employees and communities. 

  • Our vision for reconciliation

    Our vision for reconciliation is to help empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with financial knowledge and capability, to help spark positive change for individuals and for their communities.
     

    At People First Bank, our purpose is to deliver positive change through banking and as one of Australia’s leading customer-owned banks this means we will: 


     

    • Utilise Include, our diversity and inclusion program, to build and maintain a culture where our employees understand First Nations’ histories, celebrate cultures, and champion allyship. 

    • Ensure our products and services can be accessed fairly and easily by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples no matter where they live. 

    • Create employment pathways for First Nations’ peoples and increase our spend with First Nations’ businesses. 
     
    • Publicly demonstrate our support by working side by side with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and allies to spark positive change.
