IF the challenges of the last couple of years have taught us anything, it’s about the resilience of our communities, and how important it is to support our towns and local businesses. This is evident in our own region, according to long-time Mooroopna resident and gmcu branch supervisor, Sharna. “The Mooroopna community are very loyal to the town”, she says. “I’ve lived in Mooroopna for 21 years and been with gmcu for 11 of those. Over this time, I’ve formed amazing relationships within the community, and learned a lot about the needs of local people.”

As the town has developed and businesses have come and gone, Sharna is proud to have played a part in empowering the local community with her role at gmcu.

“It’s not just the traditional banking needs of our members, it’s the extra assistance and personal service that enhances the overall experience,” she said.

Sharna believes that being able to offer banking services locally can help the town thrive, as people don’t need to take their business elsewhere to meet their everyday needs. “Having a presence in town, and being able to provide that face-to-face service is something that is really important to us, and the long-lasting relationships we’ve been able to build with our members is a major part of that.”
