Australian Military Bank joins the Respect and Protect campaign to tackle Financial Abuse
Australian Military Bank has joined over 40 Australian businesses who now include protection from financial abuse in their terms and conditions as part of the Respect and Protect program.
Respect and Protect is a public awareness campaign that aims to encourage all businesses to make it clear that financial abuse is unacceptable customer behaviour which may result in warnings, account suspension or closure.
Australian Military Bank helps protect its members from harm by delivering services and products supported by systems that detect financial abuse and facilitate a response, clear and accessible terms and conditions that outline zero tolerance for financial abuse, and staff resources to assist those under duress or in need of additional support.
We are committed to working within our industry to ensure our products and services are not used to facilitate financial abuse, a recognised form of domestic violence that has a lasting impact on individuals, families and the broader community. Darlene Mattiske-Wood, Chief Executive Officer
