Shareholders General Information
As a shareholder of Harbord Financial Services (HFS) Limited, you have helped to create a community focused company that holds the communities around Freshwater/Harbord very dear.
We have more than 400 shareholders who provided the capital necessary to purchase the franchise with Bendigo Bank Limited in 2000 that led to the opening of the Freshwater Community Bank® branch of Bendigo Bank in June 2002. Each shareholder has made a significant contribution to the community in their initial investment, and continues to do so through their support for the community distribution policy.
Our constitution regulates the amounts that we may pay as dividends to our shareholders as a balance against our community distributions, and each year we advise shareholders of the dividend at our Annual General Meeting which is usually held in November. The balance of the net profits available are then split between community distributions and retained earnings for future company investments.
The company is registered under the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and operates as a public company limited by shares. Shares are listed at a national level through the Bendigo Stock Exchange (BSX). Listing Code HBD.
