Regional Australia Bank Gives Back By GINNI BROWN THE Regional Australia Bank Community Partnership Program Presentation Night was held in Trangie last week with local clubs and associations sharing in nearly $99,000 of donations. Regional Australia Bank (RAB) operates a unique program where customers who hold a transaction account can nominate a local group; and a percentage of the holdings are donated each year to that group. There are currently over 1700 groups registered and the bank has given over $2.75 million in total. Local groups are humbled by the amounts donated by the program. “We are absolutely thrilled with the donation,” Narromine Jets president Mick Burns told the Narromine Star. “We have priced up some new covers for our bus seats and this generous amount will cover those,” he said. Narromine Netball president Krista Morrisey agrees. “Local clubs spend a lot of time approaching local businesses for sponsorship and it takes a lot of volunteer work so, having a program like this where

Nathan Merchant, regional operations manager for RAB said “it’s nice to be able to give reward and recognition to those who work hard in our towns and communities”.
“Regional Australia Bank is proud to give back to those who give so much and these funds will be used for projects that add benefit and value. RAB loves hearing the stories
