When Community Bank Monbulk & District first opened its doors on 7 February 2012, the dream of a locally owned and operated bank in town had turned into a reality. The reason behind a community bank in town was simple, to help build and strengthen an already amazing community. Community banking is a grassroots social enterprise business model that aims to feed into the prosperity of communities, where revenue is generated by the bank’s customers and invested back into the community through grants, scholarships, sponsorships, donations and partnerships. Over the last 10 years, Community Bank Monbulk & District has financially supported hundreds of community initiatives and turned into one of the biggest sources of community funding in Monbulk. In 2021 their community contributions reached a milestone of over $600,000 meaning they have invested over $1100 every week into the Monbulk & District Community since opening. They also run a Tokens of Appreciation wall in the branch which allows customers to decide which community groups they would like to support in the process of doing their banking with Community Bank Monbulk & District. More than 40 local clubs and groups and schools are represented on the wall and customers can choose to support one or many of the groups. Chairman Leo Koelewyn said, “The $600,000 milestone in community contributions is a fantastic achievement. With the support of the Monbulk and surrounding communities we can continue to grow our business and most importantly our community”. The board of directors are all volunteers and dedicate their time to ensure the success
