Community Sector Banking

About

Community Sector Banking (CSB) is the result of an innovative joint venture between 20 leading not-for-profit organisations and Bendigo Bank. CSB is the only banking service in Australia dedicated to the community sector. CSB has developed products and services that are tailored to the banking needs of not-for-profit and community organisations and their employees. These include: Internet banking; interest bearing cheque accounts; transaction accounts; term deposits; loans; leasing; financial planning and merchant facilities. Most importantly, CSB is focussed on enhancing the capacity of the community sector to deliver increased social outcomes. CSB creates opportunities for community organisations to gain greater control over capital and, in turn, contribute to the social development of Australia. CSB reinvests banking profits into the community sector and collaborates with not-for-profit and commercial organisations to develop innovative capacity-building solutions to the challenges that face the sector. CSB also has links with international social banking organisations and contributes to the development of new approaches to harness and enhance social investment worldwide.
