Bendigo and Adelaide Bank

We have expanded our collaboration with Commonwealth Bank to provide increased protection from scams and fraud to our more than 2.5 million customers. The advanced security tool, NameCheck, is now being used to screen all direct entry payments made by Bendigo Bank and Up customers to new accounts. Using the insights from available payment data, NameCheck will give an indication of whether the details provided appear legitimate. We’re proud to be Australia’s most trusted bank and this partnership is just one example of how we are working collaboratively with other industry participants to keep our customers safe. #BendigoBank #BetterBigBank

Today we say farewell and thank you to Marnie Baker, our CEO and Managing Director. Marnie’s contribution to Bendigo Bank over the past 35 years has been remarkable. From her early days as a Mortgage Secretary at Sandhurst Trustees, through to the merger with Bendigo Building Society, to today. Throughout her career Marnie has never lost sight of what makes us different - our connection to our customers, our communities and deep care for each other. As the first female CEO of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, she has been a trailblazer in the banking and finance industry, inspiring and creating a pathway for so many people. Her strong leadership has set us up for the next phase of growth in our strategy and that’s exciting! On behalf of our Bank, we wish Marnie all the very best for the future.

We have today reported cash earnings for the half of $562 million and statutory net profit after tax of $545 million. The Group’s statutory net profit after tax was up 9.7%. Marnie Baker, CEO and Managing Director, said: “These full year results demonstrate the strength, capability and differentiation of our Bank. We remain as focused as ever on delivering sustainable growth over the long term, sequencing our investments in our key growth areas to leverage the strong pipeline of demand for our products and continue to improve shareholder returns.” Read the full report here 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/gdYzCP4J #BendigoAndAdelaideBank
