Helping the community to thrive

Community Bank Beaconsfield has been returning its profits to the local community for over 12 years.

“Thanks to community support, and the hard work of our staff, we have been able to build the business steadily,” said Chair Graeme Taylor

Graeme said that the Beaconsfield and district residents, traders and community organisations had all learned the benefits of banking locally.

“As our profitability grows, so does our ability to channel our profits into much-needed community infrastructure and services, as well as pay shareholder dividend payments,” he said.

“Our branch was set up by the community, for the community, so we are always looking for ways we can help strengthen the Beaconsfield area.”

Recently even during Covid-19 Community Bank Beaconsfield has financially supported:

· Berwick Rotary Club

· Beaconsfield Football Club

· Officer Football Club

· Berwick Montuna and Cardinia Beaconhills Golf Clubs

Bendigo Bank has over 300 Community Bank branches who not only provide banking and financial services, they have a unique point of difference – they share their profit with their community.

To date more than $272 million has been pumped back into Australian communities by Community Bank branches.

You may not think who you bank with matters. But it does. Community Bank customers are making a difference. Their home loans are helping to build community infrastructure. Personal loans, business banking and credit cards are funding defibrillators, environmental projects and sports facilities.

Community Bank Beaconsfield is located at 6/52-62 Old Princes Highway, and is currently open Monday to Friday 9.30am to 5pm.

If you need help with your banking, speak to Branch Manager, Andrew Gardner. He can meet you (restrictions permitting) at the branch, over the phone, or via video call. Together you can talk about your goals and how to make them happen.
