From the kind, knowledgeable, and approachable staff in our branches, to the talented and friendly customer service representatives over the phone, we exist to serve and strengthen our local community, and to look out for one another with care and compassion.
We believe that providing high-quality customer service is an inside job. That means making sure our team is well cared for and supported, because only then, can they care for our customers and the planet we all share.
Vibrant and caring culture
Our team culture is as vibrant as the communities we serve. An environment where collaboration meets innovation, and where your contributions are not only valued but celebrated, we create a nurturing space for our people to grow both personally and professionally.
Generous entitlements
At Summerland Bank, we take wellbeing to the next level with generous leave entitlements and perks that make work feel less like a job and more like a rewarding career. With team celebrations, staff conferences, and even special discounts on our banking products — these are just some of the ways we say ‘thank you’ for your dedication and hard work.
Flexible and hybrid work
We support our team to foster work-life balance and offer a range of flexible work arrangements such as part-time employment, remote and hybrid work. We also offer tailored return to work programs for those coming back from parental leave or sick leave, and reduced working hours leading up to retirement.
Professional development
With a dedicated Learning and Development Specialist, we offer vast opportunities for skill-building and career advancement. We love promoting from within and have devoted efforts to developing management skills for staff with leadership ambitions.
Paid volunteer leave
A thriving community is central to Summerland Bank’s vision and benchmark for success. In fact, contributing to the local community is so important to us that you get paid to do it! Team members can access several paid days a year to volunteer to causes they care about and give back to the community.
Embracing diversity
We want to lead the way with a braver banking alterative, not just for customers but for all of our stakeholders, which includes our team. We’re not perfect, but we are always working toward prioritizing safety and inclusion. That is why many of our branches have gender-neutral and wheelchair accessible facilities, and why we will continue implementing these changes across all of our locations into the future.
