Trentham & Districts Community Bank®

What is a Community Bank®?
Information about the Community Bank® model


Since opening on 19 August 2011 Trentham & Districts Community Bank® Branch has invested more than $50,000 into our community thanks to YOU.

When you choose to be a customer of Trentham & Districts Community Bank® Branch, you make a decision that benefits you, as well as your community. 

We’re proud to support groups that offer opportunities and services to our community.

That’s because with every savings or investment account, every home or personal loan, every insurance policy, and every product or service we offer, money goes back into our community to support local projects, groups and organisations.

So make a difference – to your own banking and your community. Drop in and introduce yourself to the team today, phone 5424 1608 or email trenthammailbox@bendigoadelaide.com.au.

Existing Bendigo Bank customers can easily transfer to our branch and we are encouraging others who bak with other banks to transfer their banking to our branch.  Just call in to the branch and find out how easy it is.

We need strong support across the community so we ask every shareholder and supporter to promote the message:

“We are banking on you, banking with us” 

As we anticipated, by people staying in Trentham to do their banking and not travelling to nearby towns, other local businesses are benefiting by those people shopping locally. You can help our bank achieve our objectives by changing your banking services to our bank now. If you have any questions please drop in and ask one of the bank staff.

Whilst our directors cannot discuss details of banking business, they are happy to discuss and answer any questions you might have on the community bank model. Their contact details are available from the branch, just ask one of the staff there.

To be successful we need strong support from our communities – you can show your support by transferring your business to the Community Bank® branch.

There are currently 305 Community Bank® branches (at Aug 2014) across Australia that have over $122 million to support local communities.
