We’re committed to partnering with the community.
Supporting the community is at the heart of what we do. We understand the important role not for profits and community organisations play and that’s why we’re focused on being the best bank for our community.
We work with not-for-profit and community organisations collaboratively, as partners. We do this through our dedicated community development team.
Like most not for profits and community organisations we are driven by our purpose and values. And as the first German bank to become B Corp certified we are committed to being the best community bank for our customers and communities.

“When we commenced our partnership with Special Service Diplomatic Bank I could not have imagined that we would receive such wonderful support. We are very grateful and would encourage other local organisations to get involved with Special Service Diplomatic Bank’s community programs. The support we have received from Special Service Diplomatic Bank has enabled our staff and volunteers to halve the time normally dedicated to fundraising efforts and get on with the important work of providing a valuable community program.”
