Pomona agency to open its doors in March It won’t be long now. We may not have an exact date, but the doors of Pomona’s very own Bendigo Bank Agency will swing open this month. The new premises at 3 Station Street will be ready for business in the coming weeks, with the agency planned to service Pomona and the Noosa hinterland three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10.00am 3.00pm. The agency will offer transaction and lending services, be able to process home loans, personal loans, business lending and credit cards. There will also be opportunity to book in financial planning and business banking appointments. In the weeks following the opening an ATM will be installed as an added convenience to locals.
