Meet the manager, Charlene

Hello, my name is Charlene Peters, and I am the branch manager of Community Bank Monbulk and District.

I am originally from Wellington New Zealand and have spent seven years living in Western Australia.

With over twenty years’ experience in the banking industry and a passion for building businesses, I am focused on having a successful team and having fun whilst supporting the Monbulk and District community.

I have led sales and service teams through economic rollercoasters and continued to focus on the positives. I have dabbled in volunteering – Whether it was steering the ship at Women’s Refuge as their chairperson or keeping the Chamber of Commerce’s finances in check as treasurer for four years, I have always wanted to add value and a positive impact.

Recently, I have completed my MBA from Victoria University Wellington and I like to think of it as my official “brain upgrade”. Throw in a bachelor’s in education and you have got someone who’s comfortable giving a lecture as they are negotiating a multimillion-dollar deal.

I have been in the branch manager role at Community Bank Monbulk and District since August and I’m enjoying every moment of being out in the community and understanding staff and customer needs.

The staff of Community Bank Monbulk and District are fantastic to work with as well as the volunteer board of directors who are supportive. Since commencing in the role I’ve been mingling at local events, building relationships with key stakeholders, and generally looking for business development opportunities so that we can continue to do the great work of supporting our community.

My blend of experience, passion, and penchant for making friends, we are not just aiming for growth, but we are aiming for a whole new level of awesomeness!

If you would like to talk to me about your banking and your financial goals please give me a call on 0493 107 901 or drop into the branch at 70 Main Road Monbulk.
