Community Bank Wantirna

We are committed to supporting local communities

You may not think it matters who you bank with. But we know that’s not the case. Just take a look at our Community Balance Sheet.

Yes, it’s time to feel good about who you bank with.

Our Community Bank branches give up to 80% of profits back to the community. We aim to develop long-term prosperity by supporting programs that help empower local individuals and groups within the local community.

As Community Bank Wantirna grows, the investment into the community will continue to grow. You can be a part of this, and have an impact in the community, simply by taking care of your banking and financial needs at Wantirna Community Bank Branch of Bendigo Bank.

Wantirna Sponsorship Program

A community sponsorship is a significant step in developing an on-going relationship with the Community Bank Wantirna. We consider community sponsorships as a unique way to build community relationships, strengthen our banking business, and enable on-going investment in community organisations and projects within the City of Knox area.

To date, we have injected more than $230,500 invested back in to the community!

This is made possible only by the customers of our Community Bank branch.

Will your organisation be the next one we sponsor?

We now have two rounds of sponsorship allocations each year.

Dates:
Round 1 submissions must be received no later than 28 February.
Round 2 submissions must be received no later than 31 August.

All sponsorships are considered within four weeks of bi-annual closing dates and you will be advised of the outcome within that timeframe.
