The Community Bank sponsors clubs, organisations and events aligned with our Community Investment and Impact Strategy in return for customer acquisition opportunities and brand awareness.

Sponsorships are provided to community clubs and organisations rather than specific projects. 

They value your support as we encourage local people to choose to bank with Bendigo Bank in Bright. That business supports these sponsorships.

The levels of sponsorships and corresponding conditions can be found in this document
