Jasmine looks to the future
COBDEN and Camperdown community Bank has welcomed a new branch manager - Jasmine Bakic.
Beginning in mid-December she has been enjoying getting to know local customers.
Ms Bakic said she had been a Bendigo Bank employee for two years in May and was looking forward to the new challenge.
She said she had previously worked with Commonwealth.
“It’s a big change from Commonwealth; but in a good way,” Ms Bakic said.
“I really admire that Bendigo Bank is really community minded.
“It’s been really nice getting to know the locals.”
Looking to the future, she said she hopes to continue on the work of previous managers had begun.
A big priority for Ms Bakic is seeing both the Cobden and Camperdown branches fully staffed and returning to full operational hours.
“I think it’s really great the we were able to give back $1million to the community; it’s a big achievement,” she said.
“I want to open up both branches full time and…be able to grow and upskill so we can give back to the community.
“We are looking for staff. We are trying to attract people with the right mindset and skillset.”
Ms Bakic thanked the community for its ongoing support.
“Id like to thank the community being so understanding of what we’ve been through with both branches,” she said.
“I’m doing everything I can to make sure both branches are open.
“Thank you to the community for being so welcoming as well.”
