We are excited to expand on this to support and provide our community organisations with a product specially designed for voluntary not for profit community organisations.

The Community Access Account is complimented with the Community Saver Account.
Dnister members can earn interest on a great new savings account whilst supporting the community at the same time.
Not only will it provide you with a great high interest savings account, Dnister will also annually contribute an additional 1.00%p.a¹ ‘beneficiary payment’ to your favourite nominated community organisation’s Community Access account.
