Global Banking Alliance
The Global Banking Alliance was formed in 2000, when the OECD in Paris convened its 2nd Global Conference on Women Entrepreneurs and selected Fleet Bank of Boston, Royal Bank of Canada, the Bank of Ireland - and Westpac - as leaders in delivering financial services to women.
The mission of the Alliance is to work together across international boundaries to help female entrepreneurs grow their businesses and give all women the chance to increase their wealth.
In October 2007, Westpac Women's Markets team welcomed 11 international female bankers, including representatives from 4 African banks and Global Banking Alliance affiliate, Mi-Bospo, to a 4-day conference in Sydney. The conference provided a forum to foster learning and the exchange of inspirational ideas about how to provide businesswomen, no matter where they are, with the best in financial products, service and advice.
Women's Markets continues to support the Global Banking Alliance through a range of initiatives and in 2008 will again welcome guests to the conference in Sydney.
