Bank by Community Community Banking

In days gone by, the community and the bank went hand in hand.  Some would say the bank was part of what made the community.  So what happens when the bank loses sight of the community or moves out all together ?? !

Some communities have taken up the challenge and created their own bank !  In some instances this has been with the help of Bendigo Bank Community Bank.  Effectively Bendigo Bank offers a franchise to a local public company made up of members of the local community.  (For more details see Bendigo Bank Community Bank The Community Bank Model.)

So what is happening in the Hornsby area ?  A group of local community business owners and residents have formed the Hornsby Community Bank Steering Committee (HCBSC) .  With the help of volunteers, the HCBSC will start to measure and record what support from groups, organisations, businesses, and residents there is for the formation of the Hornsby Community Bank.

We'll use this web site to track how progress is going, particularly with the Hornsby Community Bank proposal.  But we certainly welcome any feedback on any other success stories, work in progress, etc.

To register your interest in the Hornsby Community Bank Proposal, (that can be just general interest to subscribe to our mailing list, to volunteer to assist in measuring support, or ...) send e-mail to webmaster@tovegin.com.au
