On Saturday 15 July 2000, the community of Neerim District gathered at the opening of their self-funded branch of the Bendigo Bank after almost 20 years since the last banking service closed their doors in the district.

Recently, on Thursday 17 July 2025 the founding members of the bank returned to where it all began to celebrate the legacy they helped build.

This year marks a significant milestone for Community Bank Neerim District, as it celebrates 25 years of service, growth, and commitment to the local community. Since opening its doors on 17 July 2000, the bank has remained steadfast in its mission to support the district, demonstrating that financial success and community wellbeing go hand in hand.
