Bendigo Bank accounts

Note: Information correct as at 28 April 2026

Scouts ACT use Bendigo Bank

Scouts ACT and thus Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts (LGSS) use Bendigo Bank for our bank accounts. LGSS has a unique Bendigo Customer Number that allows us to have numerous signatories on our accounts.

One Bendigo Manager for all of Scouts ACT

Bendigo Bank have nominated one Bendigo person who is in charge of managing all Scouts ACT accounts:

Erin Hall

Branch Manager

Ph: (02) 6253 0088

Email: erin.hall@bendigoadelaide.com.au

Location: Shop D06, Jamison Plaza (door is on the outside the Plaza)

Financial Policies

Both Scouts Australia and Scouts ACT have financial policies that all Scout members must make themselves aware of and adhere to when processing Scout finances. When purchasing anything on a Scout card, the receipt must be emailed to the LGSS Treasurer ASAP, and within 7 days.

Each Unit has it's own account, debit cards & online banking

LGSS maintains one bank account for each of our Units so that the Adult Leaders of each Unit can manage and spend their funds to run activities for the Unit. Each Unit is allowed 2 Adult Leaders with Bendigo debit cards and electronic access to the Unit's bank account (unless there is a special arrangement with the Group Leader).

Process to get a Unit debit card & online banking

Below is the process for Adult Leaders to get a Unit debit card & online banking:

1. The Leader requesting a card or online banking emails the main Leader of their Unit seeking approval.

2. The main Leader of the Unit sends a reply email to the Leader requesting and the Group Leader granting approval.

3. The Leader requesting uses the Bendigo Bank table below to work out what they have to do next.

Leader requesting access…	Action for Leader requesting
Has never had access to a Bendigo account	1. Go to ANY Bendigo Branch to create a Bendigo ID. 2. Take the BSB & Account No you are being added to, and 100 points of identification. 3. Make sure to tell them to send your details to Erin Hall at the Jamison branch.
Previously had access to a Bendigo account that is NO LONGER ACTIVE (might have been closed)	1. Go to ANY Bendigo Branch with photo ID and BSB & Account No you are being added to. 2. The Bank will verify your Bendigo ID details are all correct. 3. Make sure to tell them to send your details to Erin Hall at the Jamison branch.
Currently has access to any ACTIVE Bendigo account anywhere	No need to go to a Branch or do anything.

4. The Leader requesting advises the Group Leader that the relevant Bendigo Bank action in the table above is done.

5. The Group Leader contacts Erin Hall directly (email, phone, or walk-in) to ask Erin to grant the Leader requesting access to the account.

6. Erin does a bunch of stuff that ends in her sending an electronic signature request via email & SMS messages as follows:

a. first to the Group Leader requesting the change in account access

b. then to the Leader requesting

7. Once the electronic signatures are both done, and Erin has the form back, she adds the Leader requesting to the account and contacts them directly to find which access is required (debit card and/or internet banking).

8. The Leader requesting receives access to account electronically from Erin.

Note for other Groups: Scout Groups in the ACT need to have their own unique Bendigo Customer Number, not use the Scouts ACT one. Call Erin to check if your Group has one and if necessary ask her to create one for your Group.
