BankWest head of Rural and Regional Banking, Jamie Ritchie, said Goondiwindi was a growing region and had been selected because of its strategic importance in the region.
“There is growing demand in Goondiwindi for competitive financial agribusiness products,” he said.
“BankWest is a relative newcomer to the Queensland rural and regional banking sector however many businesses on the east coast aren’t aware that BankWest has over a hundred year history in Western Australia and was formed out of an agricultural bank,” Ritchie said.
