  • Australia's Best Banking Methodology Report
    Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 This report covers Mozo Experts Choice Australia’s Best Banking Awards for 2021. These awards recognise financial product providers who consistently provide great value across a range of different retail banking products. Throughout the past 12 months, we’ve announced awards for the best value products in home loans, personal loans, bank accounts, savings and term deposit accounts, credit cards, kids’ accounts. In each area we identified the most important features of each product, grouped each product into like-for-like comparisons, and then calculated which are better value than most. The Mozo Experts Choice Australia's Best Banking awards take into account all of the analysis we've done in that period. We look at which banking providers were most successful in taking home Mozo Experts Choice Awards in each of the product areas. But we also assess how well their products ranked against everyone else, even where they didn't necessarily win an award, to ensure that we recognise banking providers who are providing consistent value as well as areas of exceptional value. Product providers don’t pay to be in the running and we don’t play favourites. Our judges base their decision on hard-nosed calculations of value to the consumer, using Mozo’s extensive product database and research capacity. When you see a banking provider proudly displaying a Mozo Experts Choice Awards badge, you know that they are a leader in their field and are worthy of being on your banking shortlist. 1 Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 Australia’s Best Bank Australia’s Best Online Bank Australia's Best Large Mutual Bank Australia's Best Small Mutual Bank Australia’s Best Credit Union Australia’s Best Major Bank 2 About the winners ING has continued to offer Australians a leading range of competitively priced home and personal loans, credit cards and deposits, earning its place as Australia's Best Bank for the third year in a row.

  • Teachers Mutual Bank Issues $100M Ethical Bond - an Australian Banking First
    Teachers Mutual Bank issues $100m ethical bond - an Australian banking first Teachers Mutual Bank Ltd (TMBL) issued A$100 million of three-year notes, the first ethical bond from a mutual bank in Australia. TMBL became the first Australian financial institution to have its entire wholesale debt issuance programme ethically certified by the Responsible Investment Association of Australia (RIAA) in August 2015, and became a formally recognised Certified Ethical Bank. The issuance of A$100m three-year notes was at 140 basis points over the three-month bank bill swap rate (BBSW), at the tight end of 140-145 basis points over BBSW price guidance. The bonds were placed domestically to 39 accounts. Fund managers made up 41 per cent, authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs) at 38 per cent and middle-market accounts at 21 per cent. “This is the first certified ethical investment wholesale cash product in Australia, and the certification attracted wider investor interest in the bank than we have seen before. A number of ethical themed funds, participated for the first time, although their contribution was not a major proportion of the book. There was no price premium for the ethical aspect of the debt” said Glenn Sargeant, CFO at Teachers Mutual Bank. “The whole premise of our business is to act responsibly and ethically within our mandates. In the end, all of our funding activities should be ethical anyway. Its not just about how we complete our funding objectives but also how we conduct our business”. As a member-owned bank, Teachers Mutual Bank has always had a strong ethical banking and sustainability record.

Credit institutions are created, owned and operated by their participants. As such, they are not-for-profit enterprises that enjoy tax-exempt status. Building Society a type of financial institution that provides banking and other financial services to its members. Building societies resemble credit unions. They are similar to credit unions and savings and loan institutions, but their members are typically those in construction trades, real estate, or co-op housing. Mutual Bank A mutual savings bank is a financial institution chartered by a central or regional government, without capital stock, that is owned by its members who subscribe to a common fund.

  • What Members Think About Corporate Social Responsibility
    What members think about Corporate Social Responsibility Member survey results from commissioned research by Teachers Mutual Bank 31 October 2012 Introduction • As part of an instituted process prior to becoming Teachers Mutual Bank (TMBank) in April 2012, the then Teachers Credit Union, commissioned research to understand members’ attitudes and opinions regarding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). • Galileo Kaleidoscope conducted an extensive study to ascertain the views of Teachers Mutual Bank members on the topic of CSR. The summary results are published here. • The primary impact of this research on the business is that: - Sustainability is reinforced as a core business value & mission; and - The Teachers Mutual Bank’s CSR vision is informed by its members opinions. 2 Research objectives • The overarching objective of the research was to identify members’ key attitudes and motivations on the topic of CSR. As a mutual bank, our members are our shareholders and incorporating member’s views on CSR is a business imperative. Teachers Mutual Bank therefore engaged its members, ensuring they were included. • Specifically the objectives of the research were to: 1. Understand members’ broader perceptions of CSR; 2. Understand members’ expectations of CSR; and 3. Compare and contrast attitudes of CSR amongst the broader financial context. • Teachers Mutual Bank has a long standing relationship with Galileo Kaleidoscope who has previously conducted a wide range of commercial research projects. This project was robust, comprising research with 592 TMBank members who participated in the online study. The research was carried out within the Australian Market & Social Research Society’s code of conduct. • Many of the members surveyed had accounts with other banking institutions (72%), with over half of those members (51%) using one of the big four banks.
