Once again I am able to report on a successful year of operation for the Nightcliff Community Bank.
Jeff Watson has highlighted the important details for the year in his Managers Report, and the full financial information is available in the years Financial Report. Reports for the previous 10 years are also available on the website at www.nightcliffcommunity.com.
At last year’s AGM we were able to report on 15 years of operation of the branch. This year I can congratulate Jeff on 15 years of managing a very successful business on behalf of all our Shareholders, Directors, and the local community. Our Thanks too go to all the staff in the branch and Amanda our Mobile Lender who all work so well to serve our customers. I often get unsolicited comments from people saying they are very impressed by the friendly service provided..
It is evident that the establishment of the bank has made a significant contribution to the local community both in terms of banking services provided and financial support to our clubs and charities. For this we must also thank the shareholders and supporters who had the vision to establish the franchise.
We have seen major changes to the banking industry over the last few years and the pace of change is quickening still. Even to the point where the Government is talking about having to legislate to ensure that cash is accepted at essential services at least. For our staff this means an ongoing learning experience as new systems come into play and will certainly see changes to the way a bank operates in the digital age.
Finally, a comment on the decision we made last year to join the Social Traders network. Happily, the first year actually cost us nothing, as they waived the fee for being the first in the NT. It is hard to quantify the effect is has had on our business however our observation is that it is a growing presence in the community. A report on Australia’s Social Enterprises has just been released which is available for download on the nightcliffcommunity website. I have printed one copy for tonight and invite anyone to have a quick read.
