We are a locally owned and operated company established by locals in 1999 when the big banks left Maldon. Since then we’ve given back over $3.8 million to more than 200 community groups.

We’re committed to building thriving, sustainable and connected communities - and you can be part of this by choosing to bank with Community Bank Maldon & District. Our Bank offers the full range of personal and business banking and financial services you expect but understands the importance of operating at a local level.

Thanks to Community Bank Maldon & District’s customers, we regularly provide funds to programs, projects and events to support our vision.
