Commonwealth Bank continues its support for Multicultural Awards AS part of its continuing support for individuals and business owners in the Multicultural Community, the Commonwealth Bank has today (6 September, 2011) announced that it is proud to be the naming rights sponsor of Commonwealth Bank and Brisbane Indian Times 2012 Multicultural Business & Community Awards. This is the second consecutive time that the Bank has supported these awards, which is an important part of Commonwealth Bank’s commitment to small businesses and individuals within the Multicultural Community. Executive Manager, Local Business Banking Queensland South East, Richard Pinker said: “We’re really pleased to
be on-board with this sponsorship, which is an important initiative for us in helping to show our support for all those within the community. The Commonwealth Bank has a number of dedicated Multicultural banking teams which work with a variety of ethnic backgrounds. These teams can assist with all banking needs, whether it’s day-to-day banking, home loans, business loans, financial planning, wealth protection or insurance”. The Bank has a number of Local Business Bankers and Business Bankers in branch who are ready to help any business right across greater Brisbane. The Bankers are available for face-to-face daily interaction with all clients and
they are also supported by the Commonwealth Bank’s unique 24 hour a day, seven days a week phone access to a local business banker, complemented by a full range of online services. “We recognise the challenges faced by small business and look to help by providing the type of support that is going to benefit them most,” said Mr Pinker. “We are looking forward to a successful 2012 awards programme which we hope will attract a large number of nominations. This is a great opportunity to recognise some of the great work being done out there so I would encourage people to get nominating now.
