Great wording from one of our wonderful sponsors Community Bank Albany who are supporting loads of local projects and events. Consider switching even just 1 account and all of community benefits.

You’ve probably heard us talk about “community banking”, but what does that actually mean?

When you choose to bank with Community Bank Albany, you’re choosing a locally owned and operated branch where part of the profits generated through banking can be invested back into our community.

That can look like grants for local organisations, support for community programs, sponsorship of events and investment in projects that make the Great Southern an even better place to live.

Your everyday banking has the potential to do something pretty special close to home.
