What it means to be BankVic
VALUES
Our core values
By putting our core values into practice every day, we make a greater impact in the work we do.
Together
We are stronger together. Success comes through our connection to each other and our members. Working towards our common purpose, we welcome different perspectives, and encourage open communication and shared ideas. We respect our members' service to the community and the risks they take, and in turn, we have their best interest at the centre of everything we do.
Honest
Being open and transparent, taking ownership, and earning trust is how we grow together. The culture and environment we foster is a place where it’s safe to speak freely, in a respectful and responsible way. As a certified B Corporation, we strive to be credible, reliable, and work in the best interest of our members, community and each other.
Brave
Being brave makes us better. We have a go and speak up if something’s not right. We go boldly into new challenges, lead change and find new ways forward for our members. Being brave means we back ourselves and our decisions. It means finding new ways of working by thinking outside the box and offering new perspectives on what’s possible.

We support diversity and different perspectives and we foster a culture of inclusion and collaboration.
Working here
Our commitment to workplace gender equality
Our commitment to gender equality is evident through annual pay equity audits and industry benchmarking. In 2023, the gender pay gap at BankVic was 14% lower than the industry average (based on average total remuneration), thanks to a balanced representation across our leadership. However, our current pay gap reflects a higher proportion of females in lower-paid and part-time roles.
At BankVic, we ensure all genders have equal opportunities for success, both professionally and personally, with policies such as equal pay and comprehensive caring benefits. Our parental leave package supports our people when they're ready to grow their families, with twelve weeks' paid leave and twelve months' paid superannuation. We are committed to ongoing efforts to reduce the gender pay gap through transparent policies, increased visibility of women in leadership roles, and equal opportunity initiatives.
