How to join

To join our network, banks are evaluated against a comprehensive set of criteria. While members may not meet all criteria, we expect – and monitor – progress over time.

The business model is consistent with the Principles of Values-based Banking.

It is a financial institution regulated by an authority established under the government of its primary geography.

It makes loans, accepts deposits, and processes cash payments for clients. A minimum balance sheet of $50 million.

The governance is stable, ensuring ongoing ability to be committed to a values-based business model.

There is a minimum level of transparency reflected in the bank’s reporting practices. Annual Reports should be publicly available.

The senior management and governing boards, especially the CEO, have strong commitment to maintaining or expanding values-based banking and participate in GABV activities.

The financial model (earnings, capital, risk management, etc.) is sustainable over the long term, resilient to crisis and allows to respond to business challenges and opportunities.

There is a clear commitment to growing the impact of its activities over time, directly or indirectly.
