About Bendigo Bank
When there are so many modern, innovative and not to mention cheap products available online from overseas companies and manufacturers, it is often nice to be able to choose a local product, and know that you are supporting the local community and a home-grown business, and it’s even better when you know you don’t have to miss out on any of that innovation or affordability either.
The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group is one of those local companies dedicated to making it easy to choose a great value local option. While Bendigo Bank have recently celebrated their 150th anniversary, the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group was formed in 2007, when Bendigo Bank and Adelaide Bank merged, to become a publicly listed company with more than 82,000 shareholders.
