flag Westpac is launching a pilot community banking service in Manilla, NSW, in early 2026, marking its return more than a decade after closing its last branch in 2015. flag The mobile service, delivered in partnership with local councils and groups, will offer face-to-face banking support and lender referrals, with visits planned weekly or fortnightly. flag The move follows Westpac’s reversal on closing its Moree branch, now reopened, and its extension of the regional branch closure moratorium through 2030. flag The bank also plans upgrades to 50 regional branches and a regional graduate program. flag While welcomed by locals, some business owners question if visit frequency will meet demand, particularly in cash-dependent communities.
