While there is much to learn and significant work ahead, the process has begun - a small team has started the work of bringing the vision of our very own bricks-and-mortar Prosperity Building Society/Trade Bank to life. This will end State Nationals reliance on commercial banks (and their ‘personal’ accounts), also laying the groundwork for the future, including the local printing of our own, real money.
