AFL Barwon secures new Partnership with Beyond Bank

AFL Barwon is proud to announce a new partnership with Beyond Bank, extending through to the end of the 2027 season. This partnership brings together two community-focused organisations with a shared commitment to supporting local clubs, participants, and the wider Barwon region.

As one of Australia’s largest customer-owned banks, Beyond Bank is dedicated to helping individuals and communities thrive. Their strong focus on local engagement aligns seamlessly with AFL Barwon’s strategic direction to foster inclusive, sustainable, and well-supported grassroots football and netball competitions.

AFL Barwon Football and Netball clubs now have the opportunity to access the Community Reward Program through Beyond Bank. By linking their savings accounts to their chosen community organisations, club members can help their clubs receive annual donations from Beyond Bank. This initiative fosters community growth and support by allowing customers to actively contribute to their preferred clubs and local organisations.

AFL Barwon Region General Manager, Edward Wilson, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, “The community approach that Beyond Bank brings to the region is one that resonates significantly with AFL Barwon, and we’re looking forward to the support this partnership will offer and provide to affiliated clubs and other stakeholders in the years to come.”

Beyond Bank Community Development Manager, Cam Murnane, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “We are excited to partner with AFL Barwon for the 2025 season. The football and netball clubs in this region play a vital role in our community, offering a wonderful space for connection and support to participants and their families throughout Greater Geelong and the Bellarine. We look forward to collaborating with both AFL Barwon and the individual clubs to offer support wherever possible.”

Beyond Bank continues to build lasting relationships that extend beyond banking, empowering individuals and clubs to thrive both on and off the field. To find out more about Beyond Bank’s services and opportunities, simply head to https://www.beyondbank.com.au.
