Community Bank Merbein & District

The role we play is to feed into prosperity, not off it.

Merbein District Community Financial Services Limited, operated by a volunteer board, runs Community Bank Merbein & District and funds local community groups and initiatives. Customers support a community-focused banking model that channels profits back into Merbein , Mildura, Irymple, and Red Cliffs, instead of benefiting only shareholders.

The bank partners with local organisations to maximise funding and supports projects chosen for their positive impact on the area. Banking choices directly affect available community funding, with the locally managed program prioritising regional benefit. By choosing community banking, customers help drive growth and meaningful change through the reinvestment of profits and strong partnerships.

Established in response to the closure of major banking services in the region, Community Bank Merbein & District was founded to ensure ongoing access to essential financial services. Since its inception, the bank has reinvested hundreds of thousands of dollars into crucial local initiatives, including educational scholarships, sporting clubs, health care improvements, and infrastructure upgrades. Through its commitment to local empowerment, the bank helps create opportunities, foster social inclusion, and strengthen the fabric of the communities it serves.
