What is Community Banking?

The Community Bank model was developed by Bendigo Bank to provide communities with the certainty that banking services will be available locally.

It is a franchise, with the community owning the rights to operate a Bendigo Bank branch.

The local community forms a public company limited by shares to represent the local community. The company raises capital locally and purchases from Bendigo Bank the right to run a bank branch.

A Community Bank branch has three aims:

To secure branch banking services for participating communities.
To help communities better manage locally generated capital, and so provide them with a better return on their capital.
To enable participating communities to share in revenues generated from their Community Banking enterprise.

Community Bank Opening

bank opening

The Buninyong Community Bank proudly opened for business on August 6, 2010 after a development phase of almost 3 years.
In a festive atmosphere, around 250 local people came along to enjoy the return of banking services to the district after an absence of almost 40 years.
Speakers from the City of Ballarat, University of Ballarat and Bendigo & Adelaide Bank emphasised the importance of community spirit, of working together and the benefits likely to flow to the community. The new Bank Chairman and Secretary emphasised the future potential funding benefits by making donations for specific activities to 8 area Primary School principals on the day.
