New face to lead bank branch
Willaura-lake Bolac Community Bank has welcomed a new branch manager, Jack Oswald.
Bank chairman Colin MCKenzie said he was thrilled to announce the appointment of such a ‘competent and enthusiastic’ manager.
“Jack’s warm and welcoming attitude has been well received by the local community,” he said.
“Board directors are excited for Jack to lead the bank into the future.”
Originally from Adelaide, Mr Oswald moved to Hamilton in 2000 where he completed school at Monivae College.
He joins the Willaura-lake Bolac bank with up to five years of finance and banking experience with Bendigo Bank in
Hamilton, including roles as a senior customer service officer and customer relationship officer.
Mr Oswald also spent six months at the Portland branch as a customer relationship manager.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing senior football for Glenthompson-dunkeld Football Netball Club, working out in the gym and renovating his house.
“I am really enthusiastic about the branch manager role,” Mr Oswald said.
“I have settled in very quickly with help from the amazing team and meeting some of the Willaura and Lake Bolac customers.
“Given the current situation with the pandemic it has put a hold on many community events but I am looking forward to the time when we are able to engage with community groups and meet even more people from around the area.”
Mr Mckenzie encouraged people yet to meet Mr Oswald to call into the branch to say hello.
“Jack brings with him local knowledge of our communities, enthusiasm for the agricultural industry and a great understanding of all things banking,” he said.
“He is looking forward to working with the strong and passionate team at the WillauraLake Bolac Community Bank and connecting with local people.”
