Within a year of opening the Nightcliff  Community Bank Branch was able to begin support for local clubs and charity organisations.

By September 2019, around  $450,000  in cash and kind will have been provided for local support around Darwin and this is expected to increase as more local people see the advantage of banking with their Community Bank Branch.

All around Australia sports clubs, charities, schools and other community groups have benefited from millions of dollars returned to the people through successful community banks.
