Who is Community Bank Inner East?

Community Bank Inner East is operated by Inner East Community Finance, a local company, owned by local people. We are part of the Bendigo Bank Community Bank network. Twenty years ago, we opened out first two branches in Surrey Hills and Canterbury followed by branch openings in Ashburton and Balwyn. More recently we have expanded into Kew, Hawthorn and surrounding areas with our acquisition of the Kew East and Swinburne Community Bank customers. Thus, we are now known as Community Bank Inner East.

We deliver the products and technology you’d expect from a big bank, plus the personalised service you wouldn’t. As one of Australia’s biggest banks, our heartland remains firmly local. As does our focus on you and the quality banking products you need.

You can contact our staff directly by email or phone. Our branch network and team of mobile lending experts are here to assist you with all your banking needs. Our mobile lenders can be in touch at a time that suits you. Whether you’re looking to buy, invest, refinance or renovate, a mobile lender is your home loan specialist.

Our staff can assist you with:

  • Home Loans
  • Accounts
  • Credit Cards
  • Personal Loans
  • Business
  • Insurance
  • Financial Planning
  • Travel & International
  • Investing & Super
  • Agribusiness

We are much bigger than just a bank, with up to 60% of our profits directed into the local community through grants and sponsorships. Our value proposition is simple, local people support us through banking and we return profits directly back to this community.
