The finance world is fast-paced, demanding — and often silent when it comes to health. Too many professionals push through stress, burnout, or illness without support. Men die on average 4.5 years earlier than women, and too often it’s preventable. Whether it’s burnout, depression, or a cancer diagnosis, silence can cost lives. Now, it’s time we change that with the Movember Banking Challenge.

Through conversations, community, and a bit of moustache magic, the 30-day team fundraising competition helps break stigmas and raise funds for mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

What is the Banking Challenge?

The Banking Challenge is a sector-wide Movember competition that brings banks, credit unions, and financial institutions together for 30 days of fundraising, fun, and fierce-but-impactful rivalry.

It’s seen everything from hockey showdowns to stair climbs, hot wing contests, kickoff breakfasts, and mental health panels. Since 2009, it’s raised over $14 million for men’s health making this one of Movember’s most engaged and impactful communities.

Better still, it’s a chance to unite your workplace compete for bragging rights, and raise funds that change lives.
