Our latest innovation is to introduce a new role to our service team, “Community Lending Specialist”. This position is designed to specialise in the lending needs of our customers. Kerry Welsh has been appointed to this new and exciting role for the Bank. Kerry brings with her many years of experience servicing the people of the Bay & Basin. One of the big advantages that Bendigo Bank has is the ability to manage the entire lending process. Kerry will take your details and process the application; Kerry then has the authority to approve your loan (no need to send your loan onto a separate approver). Kerry then processes the paperwork to get your loan to settlement. The end-to-end procedures from start to finish are all handled locally, a big advantage for our customers. Kerry’s new role is not tied to a desk, so she is able to visit you at your convenience to speak with you about your loan needs. Why not take advantage of this new flexible way of banking and give Kerry a call to do a health check on your existing loan, who knows how much you could save. To speak with Kerry call the branch on 4443 9825 Until next month, Keith Robinson 3 Community Forums Basin Villages Forum basinvillagesforum.asn.au PO Box 37, St Georges Basin 2540 Basin Villages Forum meets the 3rd Monday Council and will now move forward. every month at The Meriton St Community BUILDING BETTER FUTURES ASSET Centre St Georges Basin 7.15pm.
