Community Bank • Trentham & Districts
Community Bank • Trentham & Districts
So far, since our Trentham branch was established 14 years ago, we have provided local community groups across Trentham and surrounding districts with over $482,000 through Grants and Sponsorships. We call this Community Investment.
Community Investment is a founding philosophy of our Community Bank, ensuring that a significant portion of profits are reinjected into local communities for social and economic impact. Founding members (local residents) saw the need to support the growth of our small towns and sought the establishment of Community Bank Trentham & Districts (Bendigo Bank), creating a significant financial resource that is by the community, for the community.
Community Investment funding is made possible by profit generated from customer banking at our Trentham branch and any business generated through our customer appointment office in Woodend.
We encourage you to become a Community Bank Trentham & Districts branch customer in any way you can to enable us to continue to support our communities through important financial contributions.
We value creating partnerships as part of our Community Investment Philosophy. What this means in practice is that we support you and you support us. This is primarily achieved through mutual advertising of your event or project, funding provision in exchange for branch promotional opportunities, and actively banking with us where possible.
