Balance Banking Campaign

The Balance Banking campaign aims to restore balance to our banking sector.

The campaign highlights the inequality of the current system and provides an avenue for the average Australian's opinions and experiences to be heard. The campaign is backed by new consumer research showing two out of three Australian voters want an independent inquiry into the country's banking system. Balance Banking has Australians in mind. It's an avenue for the average Australian's opinions and experiences to be heard, and your voice counts.
