Giving back to our community
Broken Hill Bank are proud to support our community with a range of programs and initiatives that align with our values as an organisation. Our purpose is bigger than being a community owned bank. We want to create a positive social impact by putting customers and community at the centre of everything we do.
Our focus lies in supporting the people of our community. We do this by investing in community initiatives that support growth and wellbeing, while also offering sponsorship and partnering opportunities.
Here are some of the things we're doing to create that positive social impact.
Sponsorship
Broken Hill Bank invests a percentage of profits back into Broken Hill and the surrounding areas to help in building a sustainable and thriving community.
Sponsorship aims to create mutual benefits for businesses and their partners.
When Broken Hill Bank sponsors an organisation, it should benefit the community, which in turn helps Broken Hill Bank grow its customer base.
For further information about sponsorship, including sponsorship categories, obligations and requirements, applications, prizes and awards, and our new partnership program, please refer to the Broken Hill Bank Community Engagement Program document.

Community Corner
Are you a small business owner?
If your business lacks its own retail space and offers items like homewares, stationery, artwork, clothing, and more, our Community Corner is perfect for you. We celebrate local artisans and producers by providing a platform for them to showcase their products in our branch. There's no cost involved, and you don't need to be a Broken Hill Bank member. Simply book the Community Corner for a two-week period, and work with our team to set up a visually appealing display.
For more information, please refer to the Broken Hill Bank Community Engagement Program document.

School Visit Program
Come and visit us!
Broken Hill Bank takes pride in offering both a school visit program and a school excursion sponsorship program. Our school visit program provides children with hands-on learning experiences in banking and money management.
Children experience transactional-based activities, such as using the coin counting machine and depositing money at the counter to learn about the importance of savings accounts.
Students are engaged in a guided tour where they are shown through the branch and participate in fun money-based activities assisted by our staff.
As our branch remains operational during the excursion, class sizes are limited to a maximum of 18-20 children per excursion.
The excursion runs for about 1 hour, depending on the size of the group. Teachers and/or teachers’ aides are required to assist with the excursion.
Broken Hill Bank’s school excursion sponsorship program allows school fundraising committees to apply for financial sponsorship to support approved NSW education excursions.
For more information, please refer to the Broken Hill Bank Community Engagement Program document.
