Community Bank Samford has joined Moreton Daily Group as a Strategic Partner, strengthening a shared commitment to supporting local businesses, investing in the community and keeping people connected across the City of Moreton Bay.
The partnership brings together two organisations with strong local ties and a common belief in the importance of supporting the people, businesses and community groups that contribute to the region.
For Community Bank Samford, that commitment has been at the heart of its operations for more than two decades.
Owned and operated locally by Pine Rivers Community Finance and backed by Bendigo Bank, the bank provides everyday banking services, home loans and business banking, while directing a share of its profits back into community initiatives.
Its history dates back to 2002, with the opening of the Brendale branch, followed by Samford in 2009. The two branches merged in 2022, continuing a model that has seen more than $3.6 million returned to the local community.
Community Bank Samford Branch Manager Nadine Wynn said those contributions supported everything from local sporting facilities and youth programs to charities and community organisations.
“The more successful we are as a bank, the more that we can give back to sponsorships, grants and community initiatives,” Nadine said.
That community-first approach is also behind the decision to become a Moreton Daily Group Strategic Partner, with the bank recognising the role local news plays in connecting people and strengthening the region.
“Moreton Daily plays such an important role in helping to keep our locals informed, educated and aware of everything that’s happening across the City of Moreton Bay,” Nadine said.
Community Bank Samford Business Development Manager Robyn Doulman said local journalism helped create a stronger sense of connection while giving businesses and community organisations a platform to share their achievements.
“It shines a light on local achievements. It also shares information across the community, and it gives a voice to local businesses and community groups,” Robyn said.
For Moreton Daily Group Partnerships Manager Lyndsay Lawler, welcoming Community Bank Samford as a Strategic Partner reflects the value of working with organisations that are actively investing in the region’s future.
“Community Bank Samford has a long history of backing the people and organisations that make our city what it is. Their commitment to giving back aligns closely with our own focus on supporting local businesses and keeping our community informed and connected.”
“Partnerships like this are about more than bringing organisations together. They’re about recognising the value of local connections and working alongside businesses that genuinely care about the future of Moreton Bay.”
The partnership builds on that shared local focus, bringing Community Bank Samford into Moreton Daily Group’s network of Strategic Partners supporting business, community connection an
