How has community banking touched your life in 2014?
This year, we have supported local life with close to $370,000 in sponsorship funding invested in almost 80 community groups or activities. It is our hope that every member of this community has benefited from community banking and know that for many of you there will be multiple examples on the list below of funding that has bought something essential to daily life in our valley. To those who bank with us and make this possible we say a big thank you and congratulations because everything we do is thanks to you!
Opening an account at your Yarra Junction or Warburton branch makes a world of difference.
Seasons Greetings and great prosperity in 2015.
