Supporting RBIA in their petition to save regional branches

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 / Site Blog, Community

As a Customer Owned Bank, BankWAW lives and breathes the Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice. The Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice (COBCOP) is a code of practice for Australia's customer owned banks, credit unions and building societies which outlines how they will deliver on their pledge to always put customers first. It has been developed in close consultation with the community, government and consumer groups.

Therefore we believe it is important to support the RBIA (Regional Banking Investment Alliance), by taking part in the petition to support and keep regional branches open. 

The RBIA includes a group of 24 regional banks and supporters, fighting for their local communities to ensure that face-to-face banking continues sustainably into the future. The RBIA believe that banks have a community service obligation to properly service their customers, regardless of where they live.
