Community Bank Mooroolbark story started back in the year 2000 when a group of local people sought out banking services option for the Mooroolbark community after the closure of several other banks in the township. On 20 July 2000 local community members were briefed by Bendigo Bank in
relation to the proposal to establish Community Bank Mooroolbark. The story unfolded from this point with a Steering Committee formed, a feasibility study carried out and capitol raised by selling shares in the new venture - in the main to local Mooroolbark residents. Community Bank Mooroolbark was officially opened on the 23rd May 2002 by the late Mr Peter Brock. Around this period of time the Steering Committee then moved to become the Bank's Board of Directors now managing the governance requirements of operating a local public company. Since opening the doors for business the branch has gone from strength to strength with steady growth through each year of operation. With the original aim to provide another banking option for the local Mooroolbark residents being complete, the Board's aim moved to enhance it's own financial position and to become a major supporter to local not for profit organisations. Now the branch has been open to business for 13 years it has become financially well established and it's community contributions of approximately $1.2M are making a significant impact in the local Mooroolbark area. We hope to bring you interesting stories about our community involvement. We look forward to keeping you posted.
