As Imogen told us, 💬 "We don't need a small group of people doing things perfectly. We need as many people, as many organisations, as many businesses, as many communities just doing their best.”

This isn’t just a new look for Bank Australia cards – it’s a small practical step in the right direction for our oceans.

Living on Victoria’s Surf Coast, Imogen knows how vital our oceans are. That’s why she’s proud to carry our new card. Made from 100% recycled plastic*, with 64% collected from coastal communities by Parley for the Oceans™.

We'll reach out if we experience any delays restoring our services. Call us on 132 888 for any questions. We’re open Monday–Friday 8am–8pm AEDT, and Saturday 9am–2pm AEDT.

Learn more about The Forktree Project and how you can support rewilding efforts via the link in our bio.

Led by environmental scientist Tim Jarvis AM, Forktree is restoring biodiversity, planting tens of thousands of native species, and inspiring others to reimagine what’s possible when we give nature the space to thrive.

But thanks to The Forktree Project, a grassroots rewilding initiative and Bank Australia community customer grant recipient, nature is making a comeback.

🌱 From farmland to flourishing habitat 🌱

On South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, on Ngarrindjeri and Kaurna Country, large areas of native habitat have been lost since colonisation.
