Bendigo Bank Telco - building a richer community

The potential for community

A most important consideration for any community is how it can maximise the use and operation of its resources to achieve sustainable benefits for the entire community.

Every community, large and small, has a unique mix of talents, resources and needs, and getting the most out of them is crucial to ongoing economic health and community prosperity.

Bendigo Bank Telco, an initiative of Bendigo Bank, is creating partnerships with community minded organizations that will help keep capital in communities. These communities can be regionally based, or they can be vertical communities, like a tennis club or common interest group whose members live in all different areas. We’ve seen that economics dictate that suppliers favour large metropolitan markets ahead of smaller communities. But we’ve also seen that Community Bank® branches have reversed the trend in regards to banking, and now, Bendigo Bank Telco provides a means to do the same with other essential services.

I hope you will consider joining us.
