📸 Meet the Team: Jack! 🌟

Having recently joined the Bendigo Bank team, Jack is one of our newest additions and a self-proclaimed night owl who is slowly being forced into the early bird lifestyle! 🦉🌅 Let’s get to know him!

🧠 Secret talent? He has a twin brother and can sometimes read his mind! (Talk about a real superpower! 🤯)
🥩 Food for life? A5 Wagyu beef (he definitely has luxurious taste! 🤤)
🎤 Go-to karaoke song? Dynamite by BTS! 🕺💥
📺 Recently binge-watched? Squid Game.
💡 Best advice he's received? "The More You Know, The More You See." (Meaning a deeper knowledge makes you sensitive to details you might otherwise miss!)
❤️ Most rewarding project? Since he's still fresh to the team, his current rewarding "project" is focusing on learning the ropes and becoming as helpful as possible to our team and customers!

We are so excited to welcome Jack to the team and watch him grow with us. Drop a warm welcome in the comments below! 👇

Having been with us since the doors first opened at Doncaster East an incredible 23 years ago, Lisa is our wonderful Customer Relationship Manager at Templestowe and a definite early bird! 🌅 Let’s get to know her!

🥖 Secret talent? She has a weird knack for cutting breadsticks perfectly in half without measuring them! (A very specific superpower! 😉)
🍽️ Food for life? You can't beat a classic Chicken Parma with chips and salad.
🎤 Go-to karaoke song? A toss-up between Flame Trees by Cold Chisel or Don’t You Want Me by The Human League.

💡 Best advice she's received? Dating back to her start in banking in 1985: "There are no degrees of honesty."
❤️ Most rewarding work moment? Discovering a love for public speaking about our community work! A major highlight was speaking at an International Women’s Day lunch right after the amazing Jelena Dokic! 🎤💪

We are so incredibly lucky to have Lisa’s deep experience, honesty, and community spirit on our team. Drop a 👏 (or maybe a 🥖!) in the comments to say hello!
