Operating and financial review

Overview of the company

The company continues to operate in line with franchise agreement with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited which governs the management of the Community Bank branches at Loganholme, Browns Plains, Springwood and Beenleigh. The company manages the Community Bank branches on behalf of Bendigo Bank.

The franchise agreement provides for three types of revenue earned by the company from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited:

  1. A % of monthly gross margin earned on products and services regarded as day to day banking business, known as margin business.
  2. Commission on other products and services on specified products including insurance, financial planning, common fund, Sandhurst Select, superannuation, commercial loan referrals, products referred by Rural Bank, leasing referrals, fixed loans and certain term deposits.
  3. Proportion of "bank fees and charges" charged to customers.

At 30 June 2021 the level of business on the books was $496M. This is an increase of $20M. The product mix comprises lending of $267M, deposits $214M and other business $15M.

The bank's competitiveness on interest rate remains constant.

The company will continue to be dependent on the franchise agreement to derive its income in future years. Therefore growth in market share for community branches of the company are the drivers of improved revenue.
