Community Exchange™. Take ownership of the potential of the
Internet. Bendigo Bank is committed to giving communities the chance to
plan their future with confidence. This is already happening in towns
and suburbs that have opened Community Bank® branches of Bendigo Bank.
Having seen this success, we are extending the “local ownership”
principle to services other than banking by creating Community
Enterprise™. Community Enterprise™ enables communities to form locally
owned companies or agencies that can provide a range of services. One
of these services is called Community Exchange™. A Community Exchange™
creates a virtual community – a one-stop website where your community
can swap news and buy and sell goods and services.
Through a Community Exchange™ your community has the potential to:
• increase the range of goods and services available
locally
• support local traders by shopping online with them
• increase demand for existing products and services
supplied locally
• participate in on-line marketplaces beyond your region
but in a way that protects local business people
• share local news and exchange community information.
"Community Exchange™ is one important step towards securing your community’s future in this new-look e-world of ours."
Rob Hunt
Managing Director
Bendigo Bank
A Community Exchange™ is a website, but it is also so much more
than that. You think of it as the modern equivalent of a town square.
In it you’ll find local businesses and traders, but it’s also where you
can go to meet people, catch up on local news and access community
services.
The Bendigo Bank realizes that a strong, sustainable community is
essential for conducting successful business. Bendigo Bank’s view that
success clients result in success banking is prevalent in the Community
Exchange model. Local businesses can benefit from their Community
Exchanges range of website development services designed to get maximum
return from online investment. Your Community Exchange can offer IT
consultancy services ranging from website development, graphic design
and detailed online marketing strategies.
