Bendigo Bank delivers third dividend boost
THE Somerset Region Community Enterprise Ltd, the company behind your local Lowood-Fernvale Bendigo Community Bank, will reward their loyal shareholders for a 3rd year running with an increased share dividend of 15% in November.
For our community bank to be able to achieve this major benchmark for a third year in a row is a testament to our local community and a tribute to the staff and shareholders for their foresight and support in their local bank.
This achievement is the result of a successful year within the branch, with key highlights being:
Local knowledge by local staff that care about their existing customers’ banking welfare, while other banks have closed their doors in the region.
Giving physical and financial support to many events and organisations in the region through sponsorships, grants and donations in excess of $1.6 million.
Meeting the needs of a diverse and growing client base, as we see many new faces moving into the Lowood-Fernvale area and surrounds.
Company Chairman, Aaron Heck reports, “Our Bank team takes pride in building relationships with their clients, helping them day to day, as well as longer term banking needs.
The branch team and board of directors are excited for what the next financial year brings and look forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new customers.”
The locally owned and managed Lowood & Fernvale Bendigo Community Bank branch operates under a franchise arrangement with the Bendigo Adelaide Bank.
