The DSR Bank: Collectively investing in collective security.

The Defence, Security & Resilience (DSR) Bank is a new multilateral lending institution created to address the defence financing crisis facing both governments and industry.

Why It’s Needed

Defence investment is under pressure:

  • Governments face rising demands but lack access to long-term, affordable capital.

  • Industry, especially smaller suppliers, struggles to get credit—putting production of critical technologies at risk.

  • Procurement remains fragmented, slowing delivery and driving up costs.

The Solution 

The DSR Bank provides a new financial architecture to fix this.

  • We raise capital from global markets, backed by the combined credit strength of our member states—giving governments low-cost, long-term funding without increasing national debt.

  • We unlock supply chain financing, offering guarantees that help commercial banks and institutional investors support companies across the defence ecosystem.

  • We streamline multinational procurement, helping governments buy faster, smarter, and together
