Community support... you can bank on it in Drouin

There is more to banks than ‘ the big four’ and there is more to banking than keeping the big profits.

There is Bendigo Bank - the small bank that offers big services while concentrating on supporting the local community.

Bendigo Bank is now the fifth largest retail bank in Australia and it’s easy to see why.

Drouin & District Community Bank is part of Bendigo Bank and its support of the local community is stronger than ever.

This ongoing local support is the principal focus for branch manager Rob Hutchinson and his dedicated team.

Community support is two-fold: the community supports the banking group by becoming regular customers and the bank responds by returning profits back into the community.

Profits are invested though grants to a vast range of local organisations and community groups, all of which make the Drouin region a vibrant area for people to live, work and socialise.

For the team at Drouin & District Community Bank, customer service means really listening and helping their customers with their banking needs.

Whether it is a child’s first savings account, investment advice, or lending information - every customer is equally important.

The team is aware that changes to the way some people have always banked can be difficult to manage, and they are on hand to walk you through it step by step.

That’s the personal service that is second nature to the Drouin & District Community Bank staff.

It is more than 18 years since Drouin welcomed its own Community Bank.

In that time, in excess of $6.4 million has gone back to the local community and shareholders. Commitment to the Drouin district has not wavered – in fact, it is gaining momentum.

Your questions about personal banking, business banking and general banking inquiries can be answered in person at Drouin & District Community Bank.

Call the friendly staff on 5625 4544 or visit the Drouin Branch and discover what other Community Bank customers already know – it is very important to feel good about who you bank with.

Drouin & District Community Bank is in the heart of Drouin at 42 Princes Way.
