⭐️ SPECIAL Live Episode ⭐️ recorded at the incredible Global Impact Summit.
Can something as simple as moving your money change the world? Yes it does everyday so we might as well choose the world we want.
But to do so, we need to understand how the system works and how our choices change it.
In this panel, we talk to:
👉 Glenn Bartlett, CEO & Co-founder of GreenPay, represents the part of the system that processes payments
👉 Rob Quadara, Manager, Impact Assets from Bank Australia, represents the part which does your savings, home loan and everyday banking.
👉 Alex Andrews, Co-founder of Verve Super, Director of Six Invest, Australia's only ethical share trading platform and many other things. She speaks on behalf of how your superannuation and investments are invested.
Together we work out how a little bit of the zillion dollars that goes through this system can go into the ecosystem to help protect our home planet.
Listen in to hear about:
🤠 How each of the companies is pioneering a new kind of financial organisation
👏 Why people don't switch, and why they do
💰 The sometimes uncomfortable balance between maximising profit and maximising the greater good
🤨 How the big banks are more than happy to 'adopt' do-good ideas…once they are proven to be successful elsewhere.
We gave AI a listen and here's what it had to say:
Your bank account is not a parking spot, it is a pipeline. Every tap of a card, every online payment, every superannuation contribution, and every investment decision sends money through systems that either fund extraction and deforestation or help pay for restoration, renewables, and better business. From the stage at the Amazing Global Impact Summit in Sydney, we sit down with three leaders working on different parts of Australia’s financial system to show how “moving your money” can genuinely move the world.
Glenn Bartlett (Green Pay) breaks down how payment processing can turn transactions into conservation by redirecting profits to protect and restore Australian nature. Rob Quadara (Bank Australia) explains what customer-owned, purpose-led banking looks like in practice, including what they refuse to fund and how targeted lending can create measurable social and environmental outcomes. Alex Andrews (Verve Super founder and Six Invest director) unpacks ethical superannuation and ethical share trading, why super is one of the biggest levers most Australians have, and how transparency changes behaviour.
We also get honest about the real barriers: inertia, fear, and the “default to the default”. The panel shares why most people care about climate impact but do not feel confident they understand what their money is doing, and why big life events and major climate events often trigger the switch. The takeaway is simple and practical: give yourself 30 minutes to audit your defaults across banking, payments, super, and investing, then change just one thing and build momentum from there.
If this sparked a rethink, subscribe, share it with someone who has never checked their super, and leave a review so more Australians can find conversations about ethical banking, sustainable finance, and impact investing.
